Just received the first email about this new project from Tuseno out of Sweden:

https://tuseno.com/pages/shellback?utm_ ... 0ifQ%3D%3D








Pre-order: Mid-August

Movement: Automatic
Dimension: 39mm (40mm including bezel)

Straps included in pre-order are our custom-made bracelet, tropic rubber and nato.

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.

Does anyone have experience with the Ronda autos?

Review video for those like me who are considering it.

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.

Preorders are now sold out and closed for the Shellback.
