SUCCESSFUL : Kickstarter: UW Watches - Aequorea Automatic Dive Watch Collection

Post by TheJohnP »

UW Watches out of Hong Kong have released their second Kickstarter for the Aequorea, a jellyfish inspired automatic dive watch.
UW, aka Under Water, is a sub-brand of OVD (over 10 successful campaigns). This campaign is already fully funded, and their previous one was also successful.


Super Early Bird pricing was around $232 SOLD OUT
Kickstarter pricing is around $245
Regular pricing will be $449

Estimated delivery is January 2022

The Aequorea is inspired by Jellyfish, an awe-inspiring and intriguing creature. It epitomizes the definition of "Life Fighter “, built as the perfect tool for every situation all year round.

The design of Aequorea echoes jellyfish. You could spot the shape of jellyfish over the entire watch including the luminous crown, the three-dimensional texture of the dial, the bezel shape, and the unique curved case back.


The Aequorea is available in five colorways:

Never seen that kind of micro adjustment before. Very cool. Seems like very good value for $245.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

That's how the "Wetsuit Ratchet Buckle" Strapcode sells works (I have it on my SKX009) and it also looks very similar to the buckle you get with the Draken Benguela I reviewed here: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2129

I think the lume stripes along the crown ridges is cool, just curious how that will hold up over time and use.
