As the most majestic ship in the world at the time, the Titanic attracted many people to come to the pilgrimage, including many of the world's richest people who often appeared on the front pages of newspapers. opportunity. The voyage ended in disaster - one of the deadliest shipwrecks on Earth in a single trip, with more than 1,500 casualties. Nearly 66% of passengers and crew will not be able to return to their sweet home, and the harsh reality is that they will be forever sleeping in the deep waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Captain Edward Smith and chief designer Thomas Andrews were also killed with the Titanic - they were fighting to save lives from the moment the shipwreck happened, until they took their last breath. https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/035/981/354/1d6e7b2c3a59f669e2c9b8498ab43d2e_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=680&fit=max&v=1641287590&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=a71ee17298b1ecaf2bd3caf97fb272e7 Thank you for your support for the last issue of TitanicX. We've received a lot of positive comments and feedback asking for a TitanicX reboot, so the OVD team decided to bring back a fully upgraded TitanicX-Reborn. https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/035/955/180/916d51cf6234cea1789ee22e5c25f795_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=680&fit=max&v=1640917563&gif-q=50&q=92&s=75da6cc003ebc8f098521b14dfbc2733 In order to optimize the two most important parts of the previous generation TitanicX, we have made some changes in the movement and dial. In terms of movement, we replaced the Miyota 8215 movement with the Swiss Sellita SW200-1 movement. The Sellita SW200-1 is a circular movement with a mechanical lever movement, automatic winding and a ball bearing rotor with high lifting efficiency. Vibrating 28,800 times per hour, the second hand runs very smoothly, which greatly improves the stability and accuracy of the movement. https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/035/981/365/d70430cbbd5f2f9cdf04409103e900f4_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=680&fit=max&v=1641287652&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=f5a765abf270e34ba1b9580bfeea015a As for the dial, we've received a lot of feedback from supporters - asking if it's possible to apply the rust effect to the dial as well. At the time, we couldn't achieve this due to technical limitations. Since then, we have been working on this production process. With new embossing and 3D printing technologies, we can finally bring this idea to life. https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/035/692/429/1aa05210d62d1cacf36b6dad6e560ace_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=680&fit=max&v=1637895223&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=3e74ddb10362f83977493c43d09fbac9 https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/035/948/492/4bcab154d2e4315b57cf2e7c1c582592_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=680&fit=max&v=1640831160&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=de2c229c15c74de7541d7570b9948ea7 https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/035/948/493/885de7102ccfbe273ffea44fcf0b7f46_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=680&fit=max&v=1640831209&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=a9e673e3d673af14fef47833acc066cd https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/035/948/495/1eac44c1a577d25703fb85b51ac66d56_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=680&fit=max&v=1640831250&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=5da4d63bacf9e3325bbffe8efc0c0654 https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/035/948/497/5f277b297259a7c2cdbee5ac8bd06c59_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=680&fit=max&v=1640831271&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=3e3ea60775c13e079d5bb38bd5920ccf https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/035/948/501/eb38ffdb8df34ef8d92ed8ef4a584aa5_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=680&fit=max&v=1640831294&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=ca45f96afff8ca72cc8388f7c629bca7 The OVD TitanicX-Reborn range is available in 5 color options and 10 combinations: Shipwreck (OVD/010), Seaweed (OVD/020), Dusk (OVD/030), Noctiluca (OVD/040), and Reef (OVD/050). Each model comes with a leather strap and metal bracelet according to the needs of each supporter. https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/035/713/420/c297dd08cc02eb3342bee89db90e626a_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=680&fit=max&v=1638153355&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=8302afea86e89bd07f92c166b5858f00 All hour markers, printing, calendar dates and hands of this watch are coated with Swiss Super-Luminova. Super-Luminova can be recharged multiple times without reducing its strength. The brightness and duration of light depends on the amount of light it absorbs, in other words, how bright and durable Super-Luminova is, depends on how much light it has pre-absorbed. https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/035/981/376/4881e6b8f8fb27c9c97c84fa51ceb51e_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=680&fit=max&v=1641287727&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=efd44254c333fcbdb4e8b404ec2fe739 With Swiss Super-Luminova coating, TitanicX-Reborn remains easy to read in the dark. https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/035/981/380/b300cb6a12436881a380e7732c903b78_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=680&fit=max&v=1641287768&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=6951d35bc2bb5f22a3a64e9d7274370b In order to create a rusting effect reminiscent of the passage of time, the rotor of the movement is painted to give the appearance of rust, like an anchor that has been submerged in the sea for many years. The passage of wind and frost is inspired by the Titanic. New embossing and 3D printing techniques are also used to help achieve this effect. It is easy to see that we are the first team in the watch industry to design such a rusted effect. https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/035/981/394/41bd29d1e514a70b37d56e8b087ab105_original.gif?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=680&fit=max&v=1641287926&gif-q=50&q=92&s=b04f67a28bd07d63b2a5d7c3a0edba8b The dial is assembled in a multi-layered structure with a date disc at the bottom. Layering creates a more three-dimensional and deeper look to the watch. Rusted surfaces are undoubtedly a key feature of our TitanicX-Reborn range. https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/035/813/409/3846079fa3055f7608154340f59e242c_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=680&fit=max&v=1639098764&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=94ef76c3f2f3baa9f772746b23974e67 The design of the clasp is derived from the mechanical parts on the boat, and adopts a three-component combination structure, which makes it easier to fit the wearer's wrist, ensuring comfort and wear resistance. https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/035/981/404/61b4e31cf1c92ee2319e75f32f27af1a_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=680&fit=max&v=1641287992&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=d91dcf62c8252708e74cf916569cc673 Inspired by vintage portholes, the caseback is rounded with a glass cover. It makes the wearer seem to be able to see everything at that time through the porthole and witness the moment of history with his own eyes. https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/035/981/418/3d36deef64d677c4aa0773af547bccf1_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=680&fit=max&v=1641288127&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=b15fed744d6ba41f91784ba53f9364ec The Sellita SW200 is a Swiss automatic movement widely considered to be the main competitor to the ETA 2824. It has a diameter of 25.6 mm and a thickness of 4.60 mm. Since Sellita's parts supplier is the same as ETA, it's safe to assume that the Sellita SW200 uses more or less the same materials that make the ETA 2824. The Sellita SW200 has a 38-hour power reserve and produces 28,800 beats per hour (bph). It also offers standard chronograph functions including hours, minutes, central seconds and date. The standard Sellita SW200 produces an accuracy of +/- 12 seconds per day. As we all know, the SW200 is a top Sellita movement that meets the standards of the official Swiss Observatory testing agency. https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/035/981/430/4c37897767ac134920dfc235173f77af_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=680&fit=max&v=1641288196&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=c3868e323273b94690258266d63eae85 The crown is designed at 3 o’clock to ensure that it will be locked when not in use to ensure its water resistance. The TitanicX-Reborn case is made of 316L stainless steel; it shows great resistance in extreme conditions, a feature that allows this watch to be worn anywhere and perform at its best. The corners of the TitanicX-Reborn are slightly curved to fit snugly against the wrist, making the watch extremely comfortable to wear. In addition, the surface of the case is brushed and sandblasted, giving the watch a more delicate texture. https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/035/981/435/b8ceb4110dd772358c667b55c5706029_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=680&fit=max&v=1641288249&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=94a81a2b33c7813ef28de112bc8ef9af https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/035/981/454/7b79508ae34b32dada07a435ba16f2a7_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=680&fit=max&v=1641288370&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=850512ca8787c58476430a5f53435086 TitanicX-Reborn is made of anti-reflective sapphire crystal to protect the inner workings of the watch. Compared with the traditional mine mirror, it is more scratch-resistant, anti-fouling, super-protected, and has a longer service life. https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/035/981/460/08f06d5f6804bb50b794e32577658424_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=680&fit=max&v=1641288423&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=c347431fdbccc4113b1d5687f50c5b5c The straps of the TitanicX-Reborn series are made of genuine Italian Crazy Horse leather and tanned vegetable leather. The leather is soft and post-processed, giving the watch a strong sense of the times. TitanicX-Reborn's signature logo is heat-pressed at the bottom of the waistband. All straps are equipped with quick-release spring levers, allowing users to quickly change straps without tools, creating a different look for the watch every day. https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/035/981/466/7c260aa9cb49db1e1b85b5188bec8bfc_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=680&fit=max&v=1641288492&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=c3ce073ff47dd5d5f221aac52235a09f The parts of the chain strap are as follows: The Shipwreck (OVD/010) is the most retro-looking timepiece in the TitanicX-Reborn collection. To replicate the wreck of the Titanic in the deep sea, the entire case and dial have a rusted effect. Seaweed (OVD/020) is a TitanicX-Reborn with a green dial, green case and beige leather strap. The color of the seaweed simulates the giant seaweed that grows in deep water. Dusk (OVD/030) is a TitanicX-Reborn with a mustard yellow dial, silver case and honey brown strap. As the Titanic sank into the sea at night, a gloomy moonlight enveloped the catastrophic scene. Noctiluca (OVD/040) is the TitanicX-Reborn with an ice blue dial, grey case and grey leather strap that recreates the Titanic sailing towards a giant iceberg. Reef (OVD/050) is a TitanicX-Reborn with a black dial, Khaki case and brown leather strap. https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/035/776/869/3836d94ee7ae08d6c84d7a21cc756ea8_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=680&fit=max&v=1638760144&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=6f021d8260d2248f0f574377c551f25a Outer packaging has always played a rather critical role in our designs. We designed a leather roll wallet for TitanicX-Reborn. The watch roll is also made of high-quality leather, with soft dark green suede on the outside, with a leather strap and logo stamping. We wanted to add the finishing touches to the story with the packaging and be consistent with the design of the watch itself. The metal warranty card comes with a retro-inspired manual, allowing the wearer to feel the shock of Titanic from the first moment of seeing the packaging to the entire process of wearing the watch. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51514674300_83c3db888c_b.jpg Designer Ricky once said: “You can call me a dreamer! I always want to create something unique that can impress consumers. My designs bring people to people and people can talk about me The design of the watch is exactly what I want to see. So I insist on not sticking the OVD LOGO on every watch, I would rather let the watch tell a little more story.”
