Pelorus
Launching 27 March 2027 — scheduled
Inspired by classic internal bezel divers, designed for everyday wear.
Straight-on dial, internal bezel and minute track.
Dial
Design philosophy
Proportion before presence.
Pelorus is built around legibility and how the watch wears rather than how large it reads. The timing function sits inside the case, so the outer profile stays quiet while the watch behaves as a sports watch should.
The dial
Designed to be read.
The dial is intentionally restrained, with applied markers, a clean minute track, and minimal text. The result is a balanced display that puts legibility first and lets the details reveal themselves over time.
Also in
Internal rotating bezel
Function without excess.
The 60-minute timing scale sits beneath the crystal and is operated by a dedicated crown. By moving the bezel inside the watch, Pelorus retains the utility of a timing bezel while maintaining a cleaner profile and a larger, more open dial.
Crown operation and sealing are confirmed on a prototype before they are published.
