The Hyper-G Burgundy

From Swiss Watch Company -

This is, without a doubt, my favorite upcoming release. The team at Swiss Watch Company has been slowly, but steadily building a rather devoted following. They've done this by making very attractive, exceptionally high quality watches, and selling them at a very reasonable price.

The Hyper - G is a good looking modern take on the pilot's watch. And although it is available in five different colors, my favorite is the burgundy.

The case measures 40.5 mm in diameter and is crafted of grade 5 titanium.  The movement is Sellita's SW 200 (automatic/self-winding). The case features a soft iron core to help ensure anti magnetism.

And best of all the price - $550 US, direct.

This is scheduled to start shipping in the spring time. Until then, here are the pertinents, straight from the source -
