DW-D3 AUSTRALIS

*Limited Edition – 50 pieces.

Our new watch line draws inspiration from the critically endangered Southern Right Whale. 

We utilised a sandwich dial composition with raised numerals and circular markers to provide depth to the dial. 

Careful consideration was given to the comfort and wearability of the case. The bellied sculpted case allowed us to incorporate short lugs ensuring a compact look and feel. This combination of features allows for the case to wear considerably smaller than what its dimensions show. 

The considered approach in combining beadblasted and brushed finishes adds to the sophisticated look and feel of this case design. 

The bi-directional inner bezel ring has been designed to be highly legible with a combination of markers (outer ring) and numerals (inner ring). The 12 o’clock position features the stylistic whale tail symbol and triangular markings. This has been carefully integrated into the bezel ring. 

The outer ring is lumed with Superluminova in BGW9 pigment. BGW9 has a subtle blue glow and is renowned for holding its luminescence for a long time.

The screwdown caseback has been beautifully engraved with the Southern Right Whale. 

The ‘Australis’ embodies the migration route along the Western and Southern coastline of Australia.

The entire watch has been designed with this whale in mind, this includes:

-the beautifully sculpted and bellied case with baleen engraving;

-hour and minutes hands mimicking the whales jawbone;

-BGW9 depicting the markings on the whales head and the glow reflective of the Indian and Southern oceans;

-matte dial finishes representing the skin tone,

-lugs emulating the shape and form of the whales flippers;

-whale tail insignia on the inner bezel and matching adjusting crown;

-lumed crown inserts representative of the eyes;

-and exaggerated circular markers depicting the blowhole.

Collectively these elements combine to create a design which is cohesive and exceptionally well considered.
