SUCCESSFUL : Kickstarter: Nordberg Watches - Skagerrak Collection

Post by TheJohnP »

Nordberg Watches out of Sweden, have launched their second model, the Skagerrak, though this is their first Kickstarter campaign.
This campaign could use a LOT more pics of the watch, but if you're interested in a SARB style model, this should fit the bill.



Special 24 Hour pricing through 7/16 is around $347
No indication of what Kickstarter pricing will be.
Regular price will be about $695

Estimated delivery is November 2021

Skagerrak is the part of the Atlantic ocean uniting Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The importance of the sea lies in its historical features, such as enabling exploration, adventure travels and relations between the Scandinavian countries and the rest of the world - from the Viking Age to modern time.

The Skagerrak is available in two colorways - day (white) or night (black).

Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

The white dial is really attractive.

I almost have to have one, working for a Swedish company. If I did get one, it would be the white dial. But I don’t really need another NH35….

I like the white dial but the lack of micro adjust and another nh35 made me pass
