You received’t have heard of Brellum except you’re a severe watch fanatic. Brellum was solely based in December 2016, and the identify is definitely an anagram of the letter B and Muller. B is for Bonfol, the village from which Sébastien Muller, the founding father of the model, hails. Like so many different formidable watchmakers, Muller goals to supply high-quality Swiss-made watches at reasonably priced costs. Luckily, the model has loved some success with its Duobox and Pandial collections. Right here, Brellum is introducing the brand new Pandial Marina 2 — a brand new colorway in its Pandial assortment.
The brand new Brellum Pandial Marina 2 follows the identical specs as the opposite watches within the Pandial assortment. It has a stainless-steel case that measures 43mm in diameter, and it encompasses a brushed prime and polished sides. Moreover, the lugs have broad polished bevels. Sadly, the Pandial Marina 2 is a thick watch at 15.9mm. Boxed sapphire crystals used on the back and front, together with the motion, are the rationale for its thickness. Water resistance is a helpful 50 meters.
Not surprisingly, the Pandial Marina 2 shares many similarities with the sooner Pandial Marina. The principle distinction is that the newer watch has a silver dial with matching silver registers, whereas the older mannequin has a deep blue dial. Each watches have orange accents and a skinny, deep blue aluminum tachymeter bezel. Inside, on the outer ring of the dial, is a telemeter scale, and at 6 o’clock is an unobtrusive date window. The 2 even have giant pump pushers to function the chronograph mechanism. Total, the aesthetic of the 2 watches is decidedly sporty with a splash of classic taste but additionally with aquatic aspirations due to the usage of blue and white.
With the registers organized on the 12-9-6 positions, skilled watch-lovers may have guessed that the Pandial Marina 2 makes use of a Valjoux 7750 motion. Certainly, it does, however with some twists. Turning the watch round reveals a slightly uncommon boxed sapphire crystal caseback, which supplies a extra expansive view of the Caliber Brellum BR-750-1 motion. This motion relies on the ever-present however dependable Valjoux 7750. Nonetheless, Brellum decorates it with perlage and Côtes de Genève and in addition adorns it with a partially skeletonized rotor. As if that’s not sufficient, additionally it is COSC-certified, so the Pandial Marina 2 is a bonafide chronometer.
The Brellum Pandial Marina 2 comes with a home made Alinghi Marina strap or a Milanese stainless-steel mesh bracelet. It’s 2,305 Swiss Francs with the strap and 2,360 Swiss Francs with the bracelet. Trying on the costs, it’s laborious to argue that the Pandial Marina 2 isn’t good worth. Seems are subjective, after all, however the hardware is nearly faultless. You get a properly constructed case with numerous finishes and a high-grade Swiss motion that’s adorned and in addition chronometer-certified, all for nicely underneath $three,000. I can’t consider many different watches that may match the brand new Brellum Pandial Marina 2, spec for spec. For extra data, go to www.brellum.swiss.
