Reverie Watches
Another local microbrand watch is added to our current watches lineup. Reverie is Singapore-based microbrand established in 2014. The backbone of their design language are the Ornate guilloché dials and elegance form of their watches.

This is the 2nd Kickstarter watch coming from Reverie although there are 4 in their lineup so far including the diver:
1. Reverie Classic
2. Reverie Sea-Spirit
3. Reverie GT
4. Reverie Diver
Specifications
-316L Stainless Steel Case with 20ATM WR.
-40mm diameter / 43mm lug-to-lug / sub-12mm thin / 20mm lug-width. Brushed and high-polished surfaces with a screw-down crown and 20ATM / 200m water resistance.
-Dive / 12-Hour Bezel Options. 120-click unidirectional rotating bezel included. Choose from a traditional dive bezel (measures elapsed time up to 1 hour) or 12-hour bezel (tracks time in another time-zone).
-Miyota 9039 Movement. Premium Japanese automatic movement with 42 hours power reserve, hacking seconds and high 4Hz frequency. Expect a smooth sweeping seconds hand.
-Movement Engraving. 'Seigaiha’ (blue sea & waves) pattern engraved on the rotor as a tribute to the movement’s Japanese roots and the watch’s diving theme. Historically, 'Seigaiha' symbolised resilience and fortune.
Guilloché Dial with 4 Color Choices.
-Double-layer dial with signature guilloché effect. Choose from: (1) navy blue; (2) moss green; (3) warm grey; and (4) burgundy.
2 types of Super-LumiNova. BGW9 (blue) on the hands and C3 (green) on the markers aid reading the time in the dark. Super-LumiNova is the benchmark for the luxury watch industry.
-Sapphire Crystal. Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with AR-coating minimises glare when telling the time.
-Adjustable Tapered SS Bracelet. The bracelet includes: (1) 6mm taper for comfort; (2) micro-adjustability allowing you to resize the bracelet up to 11mm on-the-go; (3) quick-release pin allowing you to change straps without tools.
-Extra Rubber Strap. Tapered rubber strap with tang buckle and quick-release pin also included.
The specifications as taken from their website are very detailed and quite a lot of information.
Conclusion
At 11mm case thickness, this is a very thin dive watch if you were to compare with other dive watches and it comes with an exhibition caseback.
Their guilloche dial design and sector dial layout is a beauty, it looks different under different lighting.
The bracelet is extremely comfortable. There is a 6mm taper from lug to buckle and it allows micro-adjustments which allows the user to extend/shorten the bracelet.
The quick release pins for the bracelet and rubber straps is a very thoughtful design.
