 Well, those guys don't say where they are from...Just that they are "Strong Christians" who wanted a "Biblical name" inspired, like Red Sea...
Super funny: As they wanted to make a "Pirate inspired" watch called after a canon...The Six Pounder.
Since when pirates was christians? You can't be pirate when you are a bible reader: Not in my book.
Let's be serious: Pirates was stealing from the kings and the churches...

Not to confuse with Corsairs who was sometimes earlier pirates reconverted and under the autority of the king/church.

For the watches: Nothing special...Been there seen that: Long ago. Orsa is just an exemple.
The Miyota isn't for me but it could satisfie many: Why not.
I don't give 500-600 buks for it, Orsa made the Sea-Angler cheaper(350$) and with 2824-2 ETA movement, also the Orsa models have much more personality than that in my meaning. Specialy when you hit the 500 buks and the Sea-Viper with also a Swiss mvt.
I own no Orsa and just took it as an exemple because the Red-Sea case looked a bit to me, like the Monstrum and Sea-Angler without crown guards.
I'm not christian either, so this watch will not take me to paradise subtlelaugh.gif
