Today, Reverie Watches launches their first dive watch on Kickstarter. Appropriately named “The Diver” it is a proper tool that promises the same elegance as the GT and Sea Spirit before it.
The Diver’s brushed and polished stainless steel case will measure 40mm wide, 43mm long, and a scant 11mm thick - thanks in no small part to the Miyota 9039 inside. This is the no-date variant of the silky smooth (28.8k bph) 9000 series automatic and one of the most compact movements out there. A bracelet that tapers from 20mm at the lugs to a 14mm expanding clasp will keep that sleek profile. Integrated quick-release spring bars will make removal a breeze.
A Reverie wouldn’t be the same without intricate texturing so the Diver will display it front and rear. On the dial, you will find the brand’ssignature guilloché balanced by a sector layout, bold hands, and contrasting lume (blue on the hands and green on the markers). Out back, the display window will showcase a graceful Japanese ‘Seigaiha’ pattern engraved on the rotor.
Utility will not be overlooked. The Diver is rated for 200m and will feature a screw-down crown, anti-reflective coated sapphire glass, a 120-click bezel, and a combination of C3 and BGW9 SuperLuminova. A quick-release EPDM rubber strap will also come standard along with a four-pouch leather watch roll.
The Diver will be offered in Navy, Olive, or Warm Gray. Burgundy is also being considered. Early birds can get this attractive package for just $325, a 35% discount. Only 125 of each color will be made.
I have high expectations for the Reverie Diver and based on their previous offerings, I have no doubt that they will come through. For more information and to place your order, head over to the Reverie Watches Diver Kickstarter Page. ⬩
