If you missed your favorite colorway when the Straum Opphav watch was first released (the blue and green dial versions are sold out), you now have a chance to pick them up — with a couple of tweaks — and a higher price.
The new versions of the Opphav now feature a "Damascus Steel" case; essentially, it's a case made from mixing two different types of carbon steel alloys, then exposed to acid to reveal a unique pattern reminiscent of that found on Damascus steel weapons.
The movement has also been upgraded and now features the Elaboré version of the Sellita SW200-1 from the original Opphav. It has been adjusted in three positions to deliver an accuracy of +/- 7 sec/day up to +/- 20 sec/day.
Pricing starts at €1050 or $1096 USD, depending on the exchange rate. Shipping for the Damascus versions starts in August.
