The 2016 unveiling of new MOVAS prototypes was a pleasant surprise to all those who gathered. Sean Wai spoke about the development of current models and the new 2016 were in that closed pewter box which he later opened and spoke at length as shown in my earlier video.
There were six new watches that Sean showed us. Some fundamentally new while others were variants of earlier models.
The BLUEY was a collaboration with a pop band. Primarily the change is the whole case is now made of carbon fibre.
One of the favorites of Sean was the Emperor Chronograph that is made of sandwich case of Carbon Fibre and steel. It is a big watch seen here on wrist and features a full sized rotor with exhibition back.
Another large watch with a different case design is the Tactical. A model expected to have variants in colour and materials in the years to come. It features a crown protector and a quick date change pusher.
Finally, the one model that was announced that got a few people excited. The Empire 1. Clearly taking design cues from Richard Mille, the new Empire 1 is not an easy watch to make due to the thin case design, skeleton dial and using steel and carbon fibre sandwiched together to make the case will keeping it svelt.
Only 50 of this watch is expected to be made and will arrive later this year.
