If you recall, I introduced Regia Timepieces here, and then bought this nifty green one
for myself. The Regia team has been busy since then, and have just
launched a new dial design in four new colors: Crimson Red, Eclipse
Orange, Flare Yellow, and Sunburst.
The sandwich dial retains the 12 and
6, perforated index, and the submarine silhouette, but ditches the
other numbers in favor of simple slots and the character 發. This is pronounced "fatt" in Cantonese, as in Gong
Xi Fatt Cai [恭喜發財], which means "Wishing you a prosperous year."
Because it also sounds like "8" in Cantonese, it occupies the 8 o'clock
position.
I
really like the distinctive left-right California dial on my Armare
Regatta, and I might like the "Fatt Dial" even more. It is good to see
watchmakers embracing Chinese heritage, and while I have not seen them
in person, those colors look outstanding.
Like
all Regias, the new range is available in brass with or without an
engraved bezel. The watch measures 44mm wide and 13mm thick. Features
include a sapphire crystal, screw down crown, 100m water resistance,
display case back, and a Seiko NH35 automatic movement. You can buy one directly from regia-timepieces.com for $350 USD, including DHL shipping.
