That looks like a thick daddy, but I am liking a lot of the details.

I liked the look of their Blackwater, which was about $1000 and is all sold out and this looks like it will be another nice design. Based on previous designs it will probably be a Sellita movement.

Not only does this look pretty good, but my interest has gone up. Not many out there using the Ronda R150 yet (I know Aragon does/will be). I think the R150 is going to be the new darling movement, especially if Ronda can crank them out in big numbers.

Here's the link for when preorders open:

https://tuseno.com/collections/shellback

Preorder pricing is 6495 sek / €649 / $649
Regular pricing will be 7995 sek / €795 / $795

Estimated delivery is Q1 2022

Included with the pre-order you get not only the steel bracelet but also two additional straps – one nato strap and one tropical rubber strap. Color of the additional straps come in the same color as the watch you order.

Again, folks who sign up for their Shellback list will get a chance to preorder an hour earlier than when this available to the public.

On the 12th of August an email will be sent to everyone that has subscribed to the Interest list. This email gives you a one hour pre-access to purchase a Shellback before everyone else.

The email will be sent around 4:00 PM (UTC+2) and will include a password that you will need to enter the product page. More info on this will be included in that email.

Once you have added the watch to your cart, continue to checkout and complete your purchase. Shortly after you will receive an email confirmation from us – this email is the confirmation that you have secured one of the Shellback watches that will be made.

Does anyone have experience with the Ronda autos?
I wish that watch were 38mm?

No. I don't think enough brands are using them. Or Ronda isn't able to make enough of them.
Aristo were among the first that I knew about, but the movement does seem to be popping up more and more.
