Recent darling of Kickstarter, the Laventure team were present to show off some of their offerings at the Incubator section of BaselWorld. This is (if memory serves) the Sous - Marine. A pretty straight forward proposition - hours, minutes, seconds and a rotating bezel.
The case is stainless steel and measures 41 mm in diameter. The movement is ETA's 2824-2.
For those inclined, here are the pertinents -
Case
| Materials : | Stainless Steel |
| Diameter : | 41 mm |
| Lugs to lugs length : | 48,50 mm |
| Thickness : | 10.20 mm (without glass) / 12.30 mm (with glass) |
| Bezel : | Unidirectional rotating 120 clicks with light capsule |
| Crown : | Screwed for a better seal |
| Glass : | Domed sapphire type "Superdome" internal anti-reflective coating |
| Case Back : | Solid Case Back for better sealing in Stainless Steel |
| Manufacturing : | Switzerland |
Movement
| Manufacturer : | ETA SA Manufacture Horlogère Suisse |
| Model : | 2824-2 |
| Finish : | TOP Grade : set and adjusted on 5 positions |
| Winding : | Automatic winding ball bearing |
| Power reserve : | 38 hours |
| Number of jewels : | 25 |
| Spiral Spring : | Anachron |
| Barrel Spring : | Nivarox NZ |
| Balance Wheel : | Glucydur |
| Shock absorber : | Incablock |
| Frequency : | 28,800 A / h (4 Hz) |
| Manufacturing : | Switzerland |
The price is, in my honest opinion, a wee-bit ambitious at 2,350 CHF, but in fairness, the previous models and the bronze edition have all sold well, so clearly there is a market out there.
And I look forward to seeing what might be next up for Laventure.
