We said that we would let you know of any future STROND models due to be launched (pardon the pun). So we are very excited to let you guys know of the all new dc-4 automatic timepiece, and here is a glimpse of this handsome looking timepiece!
The dial tag for this model is taken from a 1940's Douglas DC-4 Skymaster.
And similar to our last automatic timepiece, it incorporates an AUTOMATIC 24 jewel movement, an all stainless steel case with sapphire crystal glass back and front , and an oil tanned vintage leather strap. We are going bold this time round with a vintage khaki army green model as can be seen below.
We are looking to launch on the 20th April on the Kickstarter platform, and as before, those who back us early will secure a nice LOW serial number. Backers will receive serial numbers based on when you back us, so if you are the first to back us you get 0001/1945 And of course, you will receive this lovely looking automatic timepiece for only £299 which is £100 LESS that what will be our official retail price of £399 !
Please register, so that you get an update of the exact time we will be launching on the 20th April which should be at around 7PM UK time. Please follow the link below to our pre-launch page and simply CLICK ON NOTIFY ME, that way you do not miss out !
The 3 dial colours are:
1) Khaki green 2) Royal blue & 3) Dark charcoal grey

It truly resonates with me; honestly, my own experiences with similar intricate mechanisms align almost perfectly with your description. The way you've detailed the craftsmanship makes me wonder if there are specific times of year or recurring cycles that influence the availability or even the performance of such precise instruments https://www.afp.gov.au/crimes/cybercrime I’m incredibly grateful you’ve explored the "new strond" with such thoroughness. It’s also made me consider the social aspect, how collectors and enthusiasts interact around these pieces, which is a dimension I hadn't fully considered before. I’ve definitely bookmarked this post because it's so exceptionally…
