The Watch
LORIER (pronounced lor-yé) is based in New York City, created and run by husband and wife Lorenzo & Lauren Ortega. As can be seen, the Neptune takes many cues from vintage divers and incorporates them into a fresh modern design. 39mm 316L stainless steel case is classic in form, a unidirectional bezel with a satisfying 120 clicks. Domed plexiglass is used which gives that vintage look and is easy to buff out the odd mark compared to sapphire crystal. The blue dial is glossy in appearance, long applied arrow markers and pips indicate the hours and have Superluminova BGW9 which is brilliant white in daylight and a bright blue glow at night. The text is minimal and well proportioned on the dial. The arrow hands are finished with vertical striations that play with the light as you move your wrist, they are lume filled with Superluminova BGW9 for excellent low light visibility. A large screw-down crown and a screw-down case back provide 200m/600ft water resistance. Inside we have the Seiko NH35A, a true workhorse. 24 Jewels 21600 Beats per hour, with hand winding and hacking. Fitted on a 20mm that tapers to 16mm, made of brushed stainless steel with fully articulating screwed links, the signed clasp is of the deployment type with a push-button release for security.
Personal Note
Such a fantastic looking watch and one I have really been enjoying personally! I delayed bringing it to the website so I could wear it more, so be assured, if you purchase this watch you will not be dissapointed! Especially when you consider the price, a lot of value for money for sure.
