Calibre11
·Sorry- bit late to this conversation.
Apologies that I couldn't share more on this one- please be assured I'm not trying to be smart by withholding info from the forum..I tried to share with you all as much as I could.
The watch itself I think is very, very well done. Unlike @Hubert I love the domed glassbox, as it gives that vintage feel, so I think it was the right choice. In terms of price, the standard Calibre 18 got a price cut after launch- last I can see, the US price was $5500, so we're talking $400 to cover the cost of the bespoke dial and you get two extra straps. Even if you value the NATOs at $0, that's still a OK premium for mine given the cost of a small-run dial.
Yes, this is exactly the telemeter case and movement.
I don't know why Hodinkee refer to it as a "Carrera Skipper"- it's a Skipper (says so...right there on the dial
)
I don't know the price of the JH85, so hard to talk in terms of relative value.
Fingers crossed there will be another collaboration watch that comes this year- should know more in the next few weeks.
