2024 Straum Jan Mayen Glacial Rift Limited Edition 39mm

Here, we have a charismatic 2024 Straum Jan Mayen Glacial Rift Limited Edition 1 of 100 pieces. Its sculpted 39mm brushed and polished 316L stainless steel tonneau-shaped case comfortably curves over your wrist, thanks to the flowing integrated bracelet and drilled lugs. A polished chamfered edge leads to a lug-to-lug length of 45.5mm and a case thickness of  11mm, giving an impressive wrist presence. On the right side is a signed screw-down crown with deep knurling protected by crown guards. The polished and brushed smooth bezel features a sunburst-brushed top surface, holding a double-domed sapphire crystal with an AR coating on the inside, which draws the eyes toward the incredible Jan Mayen Glacial Rift dial. The dial is inspired by the inner sanctum of the constantly moving glacier on the Jan Mayen Norwegian volcanic island in the Arctic Ocean, with its blue hues, facets, and fissures. It is designed using the latest CAD design and CNC tooling to create an inverted fumé multi-layered lacquered texture, coated with a shiny top coat to achieve a glass-like finish. An outer minute track intersects with black outlined baton indexes coated in Super-LumiNova BGW9, marking the hours. Diamond-cut hands are filled with the same lume and complemented by a tapered sweeping second hand. The Straum motif can be found at 12 o’clock, completing the nature-inspired fiery sports watch. On the reverse, a screw-down sapphire exhibition case back with the details of the watch around its edge, inside an automatic La Joux-Perret Cal. G101, 24 jewels, beating at 28,800 beats per hour. La Joux-Perret designed and manufactured this quality movement in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. It is paired with its 24mm integrated brushed 316L stainless steel bracelet secured by a push-button signed concealed butterfly clasp and strap adapters. It is sold with its original Straum presentation box, accessories, and paperwork.

This watch is sold with its original Straum presentation box, accessories, and paperwork. It is paired with its 24mm integrated brushed 316L stainless steel bracelet secured by a push-button signed concealed butterfly clasp and strap adapters. The watch is from June 2024 and is sold in lightly worn condition, as you can see from the photos. It comes with our 12-Months Warranty.

I have been fortunate to have sold a few Straum Jan Mayen models, but this Glacial Rift Limited Edition of just 100 pieces in 39mm is now my favourite. The dial is just mesmerising, clearly embodying the Glacial Rifts as the name suggests, and its three-dimensional nature only makes it all the more interesting. Match that with a wonderful integrated bracelet that is super comfortable on the wrist, and you've then got yourself an instant winner. Snap this up today!

In 2017, Lasse Roxrud Farstad, an Industrial designer who graduated from the Oslo School of Architecture and Design in 2012, embarked on his drone development and filmmaking journey in 2011. It was in 2016, during a spontaneous call to Øystein, that he was presented with a mysterious request for assistance with a new product idea. Recognising their mutual passion for the outdoors, they decided to collaborate on creating a watch that would be a tribute to Norwegian nature, showcasing the country's natural beauty. This partnership led to the co-founding of Straum. Øystein Helle Husby, who had also studied at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design in 2011 and later at the Art Centre College of Design in LA, had travelled extensively and worked with renowned companies such as Philips, Samsung, and Sennheiser before relocating to Singapore in 2014. Straum watches are meticulously designed in Norway and expertly manufactured in Switzerland. Their designs reflect the rugged and majestic landscapes of Norway, capturing the essence of the Norwegian wilderness.
