Merci TIME FACTORS, je cite:

To follow the Speedbird and by popular request, I decided to make a diver's watch which not only had a high specification but also offered exceptional value for money. The project started with a set of rough drawings in January 2002; little did I know then that it would take another 18 months to bring the watch to market! (and it only takes a year to make a Rolex ). The name "Dreadnought" was taken from Britain's first nuclear submarine, which itself was named after several other prominent ships of the same name.

Designed from the ground up as a totally original watch, everything except the movement has been custom made. You will of course see influences from other watches, but nothing is a direct copy.

A heavy bead blasted stainless steel case fitted with an equally heavy stainless steel bracelet give this watch a total weight of 265 grammes. The full specification is:

* Case and bracelet manufactured from 316L stainless steel.
* Diameter = 44 mm, 15.6 mm thick and 54 mm lug tip to lug tip. Lug spacing is 22 mm.
* Weight: Watch & bracelet = 265 grammes, the watch head is approximately 140 grammes.
* Domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on the underside.
* Super Luminova on hands and dial.
* Movement: ETA2824-2T (Top) with decoration and chronometer rated to DIN standard.
* Anti-magnetic movement dust cover & movement ring.
* 500 metres water resistant.
* Twin "O" ring seals in the case back.
* Patented decoupling screw down crown (tested to 2000 metres).
* Anti-magnetic to 30,000 A/m.
* Screwed bar lugs.
* Solid link stainless steel bracelet with solid end pieces, diver's extension and screwed removable links.
* Numbered limited edition of just 200 pieces.

Supplied in hardwood box with 3 screwdrivers (2 for the lugs and 1 for the bracelet), spare screwed bars, chronometer certificate specific to each watch, watch leaflet, copy of the original technical drawings and guarantee card. A Rhino strap is also included.

The project has been managed by Walter Fricker, who also made the case. You can see their track record here:

Assembly and proofing has been carried out by prominent Master Watchmaker Dirk Dornblüth, and there's an interesting article and interview here:

Movement: ETA 25 jewel automatic, calibre 2824-2T (Top version, with basic decoration and "assortments chronometer") chronometer certified to DIN 8319-1 running at 28,800 bph with hacking seconds.

You can read Ewan Wilson's review of the Dreadnought here.

More than 260 people registered their intention to buy within 48 hours of opening reservations and all 200 have now been sold and shipped. A Dreadnought has recently sold on eBay for almost 3 times my original selling price. The Speedbird PRS-1 and Dreadnought PRS-2 are both currently commanding more than the original retail price.

Forthcoming projects are discussed and design features previewed on my "Watch Talk" Forum.

a mon avis c'est une faute de frappe. c'est plutot 165gr mais meme ca c'est deja enorme(c'est le poids de ma Yema YA3831) et j'ai du mal (physiquement) a la porter plus de 2j d'affilee. Je vais lui trouver un bracelet plus leger, pour l'ete.
