Boldr
Expedition
41mm / Not specified by manufacturer / Automatic Sellita SW200-1 / Military-inspired with 3D Superluminova markers, internal rotating bezel

A Singapore-made tool field watch with dual screw-down crowns, 200m water resistance, and a legible military dial that maps directly onto the client's Formex Field appreciation. The internal rotating compass bezel adds functional depth, and the Sellita SW200-1 is a serious workhorse movement — delivering genuine field-watch credibility at a compelling value point.

Aquascaphe MK2
39.5mm / 12.9mm / Automatic Miyota 9015, date at 6 o'clock / Glossy blue with 3D lumicast applied indices and railroad minute track

A retro-code French microbrand diver that obsesses over dial texture and legibility — the glossy blue sunray finish echoes the ice-blue Manhattan dial love, while the upgraded Maxi Dial with applied 3D markers delivers the dial-forward visual richness the client clearly seeks. Slim at 12.9mm and refined in finish, it feels premium beyond its footprint.

Nivada Grenchen
Depthmaster
39mm / 13mm / Automatic SOPROD P024, 28,800vph, 38hr power reserve / Midnight blue with square/rectangular indices and triangle marker at 12 o'clock

A compact, purpose-built 1,000m-rated Swiss diver with a rich vintage pedigree and an expressive, character-laden dial — mirrors the tool-watch seriousness of the C60 Clipper GMT and the ice-blue dial appreciation seen in the Manhattan. The cushion case and Art Deco index style give it standout personality without shouting.

max bill Automatic
38mm / 6.9mm / Junghans J800.1 automatic, 25 jewels, 42hr power reserve / Clean Bauhaus-influenced white dial with slim baton indices, printed minute ring, and central sweep seconds

The max bill Automatic is the archetype of the slim, dial-forward sports-dress watch. At just 6.9mm, it undercuts even the Maen Manhattan in wrist profile, while the bold graphic dial language mirrors the expressive, no-clutter approach seen across the client's entire collection. The Bauhaus dial aesthetic rewards long looks — exactly what a dial-forward collector wants.

Orion 38
38mm / 7.8mm / Nomos Alpha hand-wound, 17 jewels, 43hr power reserve, Glashütte three-quarter plate / Clean white lacquered dial with printed railway-track minute ring and sword hands — available in multiple colourways including a warm champagne

The Orion 38 speaks directly to the client's love of restrained, dial-forward design. Its sub-8mm case echoes the Maen Manhattan's ultra-thin ethos, the field-watch legibility aligns with the Formex Field's purposeful aesthetic, and the precision German movement gives it true tool-watch credibility without the bulk. A different flavour — minimalism elevated to horological craft.

Lissom Forrest
38mm / 7.95mm / Peseux 7001 hand-wound, 18 jewels, 50hr power reserve / Teal sunray with 3D Lumicast Arabic numerals and Super-LumiNova Grade X2

A perfect synthesis of the client's three pillars: the salmon-dial Formex's obsession with beautiful, expressive colour, the Maen Manhattan's ultra-slim wrist presence, and the CW C60's sporty character distilled into a dial-forward package. At 7.95mm thick with Grade-A case finishing and a vivid teal dial, it sits confidently under any cuff while still making a bold statement.
