SUCCESSFUL : Kickstarter: Xeric Watches - 50th Anniversary NASA Apollo 15 Automatic & Moonphase Collection

Post by TheJohnP »

Xeric returns to Kickstarter with their latest model celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 15 mission, available in either an automatic or moonphase.
This campaign is already fully funded, just like their previous 13 Kickstarters.
This is also the first watch that I'm aware of featuring an automatic movement assembled, tested, and regulated in the USA for Xeric by FTS, the Xeric Caliber X3.1 AmeriChron movement.



24 Hour pricing for the moonphase is $259
Kickstarter pricing for the moonphase is $299
Regular price will be $375

24 Hour pricing for the automatic is $479
Kickstarter pricing for the automatic is $519
Regular price will be $750

Super Early Bird pricing for meteorite automatic is $599
Regular price will be $950

Estimated delivery is March 2022

Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
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
