2 new Damasco models, around £2,000:

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

This year will show some novelties by Damasko, which will also include our own watch movement. New models and a possible steel strap will follow.
First of all, the following two models will appear in order to introduce our new technologies.

Damasko DC66 Si and Damasko DC67 Si

We have based this new release on our tested models DC66 and DC67, and have replaced the steel spring by our silicon spring on the conventional ETA escapement, as well as the balance wheel by our Gyromax screw balance and the complete balance bridge. The spring barrel was also exchanged - into a stronger variant of the main spring, for optimal power reserve and chronometer quality. And apart from that, the rotor plus rotor bearing with ceramic balls for lubricant-free operation.

From now on, our watches will generally be delivered with movement values in chronometer quality (without certificate).
These two models will be available within the next 6 weeks and then be offered at an introductory price initially.

Considering the new work done to the movement I think the price is comparable to a Sinn DIAPAL for example, as for the aesthetics I guess that's an individual choice (the monochrome look has been changed by the red additions, hope that that's a lume red....).

Doesn't it cost €200 per certificate? Maybe just trying to keep cost down?
