 Oscar, thank you for your permission our new H2O ORCA series to the T3 fans.

We have listened very carefully during the last months to your voice in the forums and the several, very active threads. We considered all your requests and ideas as much as possible for our new H2O ORCA watch system and have, of course, also included some DNA from the H2O Kalmar series.

In result H2O developed the all new H2O ORCA series including an innovative customization concept with user exchangeable inner & outer watch case.

The Concept:
Create a new look of your H2O ORCA watch within seconds by simply
  • inserting a new inner case with different dial and handset layout or
  • exchanging the outer case against one of our initial 5 outer case designs.



The Design:
The design and construction has been made entirely in-house by H2O with our own German engineer, who is a dive watch enthusiast since many years with over 24 dive watches and an active member of a German watch forum. We have developed for the H2O ORCA some unique patent pending solutions. As we are working with our own engineer we could speed up our developments and will extend the H2O ORCA system continuously. In short time we will receive our first CNC milling machine to be able to start manufacturing parts in our German office.

The Main Features:
  • THINNER (13.50mm flat sapphire front glass / 15.50mm highly domed sapphire front glass)
  • SHORTER (51.00-54.00mm)
  • HARDER (hardened 316L / 7x harder compared to normal 316L)
  • 5 different outer cases
  • 2 different inner cases with flat or highly domed crystal
  • 2 different 120-click bezel with sapphire or stainless steel inlay / each bezel and case could be combined (except H2O ORCA MONO case)
  • 3 different dials incl. sandwich / 2 unique handsets
  • 5mm thick, 2-sided (round+straight styling) bracelet with HEX-screws and highly decorated micro-adjustment clasp
  • More information will be provided next week within an interview on OCEANICTIME

But now the watch cases:
H2O ORCA DIVE:


H2O ORCA CLASSIC:


H2O ORCA DRESS:


H2O ORCA VINTAGE:


H2O ORCA MONO:


I hope you like what you saw. Looking forward to your comments.

Bye

Clemens
H2O watch Team
