Did you acquire it? I don’t want to spoil your joy, but you asked for our thoughts so I don't have to feel so guilty…

Frankly, I personally can’t live with
• the X-design
• the small date and
• “The Ocean Race” at the back.

The only brand I can think of that has implemented a cooperation with another brand from outside the watch industry in a reasonably tasteful way is GP with its Aston Martin Tourbillon Three Flying Bridges.
Here the car manufacturer's name has been subtly engraved on the side flank of the micro-rotor. The only way I endure these collaborations that I personally never understood...

Ocean Race Diver

I am normally a friend of classic or vintage watches. Yesterday I saw the very new Ocean Race Diver and I liked it a lot. Its a material mix and finally black grey and green are dominant. The sphere is a bit grained. 300m water resistance and 44mm in diam...

Thoughts from my side

Omega and Breitling did also it on some of their watches, print something on the sapphire at the back. Deal breaker. Sure, they want to celebrate a race, a company, other. But why watch collectors must read Pan Am, TWA, American Cup? A small text at the e... 

I share your opinion

about non-watch-industry collaborations. I could easily live without them, too. Cheers Thomas

Very odd, the collaborations

Here a few dumb collaborations more. Breitling for Bentley. Not only the name, the watch looks ugly too. Not so dumb, but i’ve got nothing with it. Porsche design. While Porsche score very high for me as a car builder, Porsche design is slightly not my cu...

No worries, I did not buy it as it was just a demonstration piece which was not for sale. But I am tempted to buy it. Anyhow many thanks for all the suggestions. Best regards.
