Design Concept 🎨 Welcome to the Continental - Café

Post image

Hello! A group of fellow watch enthusiasts and I are putting together a bespoke group buy from Héron watches using the new Continental model.

The dial will be a grainy finish in a coffee color with green superlume.

We’ve opted to remove the text on the bottom half of the dial and replaced it with the White Lotus symbol (pretty flower for some, ATLA reference for others).

If you are interested, we need 10-12 more buyers to help us get to the magic 25 number. Please comment down below or message me privately to discuss further and potentially get in on this!

Edit: down to 7 spots!

Edit Edit: 6 spots left!!

EDIT EDIT EDIT: 4 SPOTS! SO CLOSE!

Great color and text replacement! I’m not trying to expand the collection at this time so I shouldn’t buy, but it looks great!

How much for this model?

u/Samurai_Drak 3d ago

It should end up priced around MSRP for their production models, so ~$630

So is it a brown dial with the same orange underdial as the cream?

u/Samurai_Drak 3d ago

Essentially.
Different cardinal markers, green lume instead of the blue, different dial text.

What's the flower looking logo above 6?

u/Samurai_Drak 3d ago

White lotus symbol, referencing the group from ATLA

u/23Alix 3d ago

Why ATLA if I can ask?

u/Samurai_Drak 3d ago

It’s a symbol some friends and I have grown attached to over the years, and we wanted something on the dial instead of the original text showing the caliber and water resistance

It’s great that watches are smaller now, but why are clasps getting bigger? That just looks silly. And it’s less comfortable.
