Watch Description
THE NEXTCHAPTER
Horage's thin, sporty, Swiss in-house micro-rotor All-Terrain timepiece, the Supersede GMT, captivated the watch community. With further input from our dedicated tribe of enthusiasts, we looked to deliver refined function and a fresh summer look.
Supersede Date is the next chapter in our All-Terrain Supersede lineage.
Â
Leaning on the modularity of the K2 micro-rotor...
... the focus for Supersede Date was to step outside the norm of the classic three hand, date function.
The Horage community and our designers have loved the jump hour set of the Supersede GMT. With the predecessor, we retained this jump hour set and applied it to the hour hand of Supersede Date. The function is perfect for travelling adventurers as it lets the wearer quickly jump the hour hand to the destination time without interrupting the running seconds and minute hands.
Complementing the Jump Hour Set function is the Big Date at three o'clock with Quick Date Adjust. Turn the crown counterclockwise to adjust the date quickly.
Â
DEEP WARMWATER DIALS
Our fascination for and the allure of deep warm waters inspired the dial design of Supersede Date. The result are two meticulously finished dials; Cenote Blue and Black Coral.
Cenote Blue is reminiscent of the blue sun rays created in the many crystal clear cenotes of the Yucatán Peninsula.
Black Coral is inspired by the soft deep water corals of the Caribbean that when worked into jewellery become what is known as black coral.
The highly polished indices and diamond-cut hands that adorn the dials are filled with Swiss Super LumiNova® that glow a deep blue in subdued light.
Â
Horage sets the bar high when it comes to the use of premium materials. 904L stainless steel is revered over 316L for its superior resistance to stress, pitting and corrosion thus making it the ultimate steel for saltwater environments. Not only is 904L corrosion resistant, but the polished and brushed finishes are second to none when achieving a bright and rich look.
The use of 904L stainless steel carries through the entirety of the design starting with the bi-directional rotating timing bezel. A mix of highly polished, brushed and matte textured surfaces are not only beautiful, but they enhance legibility and finger grip on the bezel.
At 10.28mm thin, Supersede case continues the interplay of meticulous hand finish from the lugs to the crown guards and crown.
The 904L stainless steel integrated bracelet with micro-adjustment buckle is the icing on the cake. Tapering from 22mm to 16mm at the buckle the mix of material, finish and proportion work harmoniously together. Choose from either polished or brushed bracelet centre links to customize your Supersede look.
