Thank you so much for taking the time Xavier and for the opportunity to be featured on your channel! Just a couple of housekeeping items! The lume on production models is equal brightness on both the dial and hands! Also, the Oceanguard has a depth rating of 200 meters and all specifications, measurements, and details can be found on the individual product pages for each model! Thank you again and I hope all is well on your end!

[@theknightswatch]

Thank you for making such a fun a unique watch. Look forward to the future and hope you continue to find success.
And thank you for the note on the specs, I can see it on my side now.

[@jaredstephenson6468]

It's definitely a "you" thing on the hands. That triangle hand is the most appealing part of the entire design!

I picked up the Royalguard 200 last year, the first Imperial watch. It was far and away one of my surprise hits last year. I’ve got the white dial version of the Oceanguard on the way.
And to note, the specs of the watch are there as one of the images of the watch. Just need to scroll the pics till the last one, all the detailed specs are there.

[@theknightswatch]

Happy you are enjoying yours! What was the biggest surprise about the Royalguard for you?
And noted on the specs. It might’ve just been a phone browser weirdness but it looked like there were no more pictures. Appreciate the heads up.

[@joeymorris4589]

@@theknightswatch Like you mentioned in your review, it’s just unique enough. Certainly one of those watches where the total is more than then sum of its parts. Perfect size. Great faded blue aluminum bezel. Love the case back that is signed by the brand but not covered with specs. The minute hand that perfectly eclipses the triangle hour markers. And Ben seems to be a really great guy.
That watch just hits so many marks for me. It gets more wrist time than my much more expensive ones. I don’t bond with many watches the way I did with this one.

Cool piece that I didn't know existed. Minute hand would make a lot more sense on a dive watch. Love that old timey stylized logo, and the overall vibe of the watch. Thank you for another rock solid review, sir.

[@theknightswatch]

Very true. Didn’t think of it in a dive watch context but it would be very functional there.

[@brettroach5287]

I really adore the design, its 10/10. I just wonder if it couldn't have been made thinner. I think if this could have managed to go sub 12, even up to 12.2mm thick, it would have been an absolute stunner.

[@theknightswatch]

Never felt too thick personally but I get you. Thinness is one of those things that really make something the complete package

[@user-ol7io6bd6n]

Beautiful

[@theknightswatch]

Got to agree!

[@johnremmy1345]

I like it!

[@theknightswatch]

It’s a cool one for sure
