New models from Damasko

New models from Damasko

Eddie at TZ-UK.com, who is an authorized dealer for Damasko, has announced that Damasko has announced the release of two new models, the DC66 Si and DC 67 Si.

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.
____________________________________________________
The introductory price for both DC66 Si and DC67 Si is 2500 euros each.

Busy, busy...

More lines than a cocaine binge in the 80's with the Eagles!

Those sound like truly impressive movements in these Damaskos !
On top of that, they are supposedly going to be in chronometer
quality too ! The dial and bezel really run with the hash mark
theme, but I think it's done very well IMO ! Everything flows
nicely from the bezel into the dial. The hands are nice and BIG,
and the numbers are simple as well as easy to read. Those red
touches on the dial, along with strap are great also ! They even
put white stitching with the red on the white dial version ! Pretty
cool !

Sweeeeeeeeeeet. They move in slow motion, but it's worth it when they finally come out with something new! They have been working on this movement technology for quite a while now. It's good to see that they are ready to showcase some of what they have been working on for the past couple of years!

I recently got a DA36 and I have to say, Damasko lives up to the hype.

Hey Derek, I'm really likin that 3-hand Damasko!!! Great looking watch!

I don't really care for the new chronos but if they make a DA36 Si I'd be all over it.

Thanks brotha!

Derek,

Serious question to a man that knows his Divers. Is the case hardening part of what you are referring to as living up to the hype? If that's true then they are higher on my list, even with their SLOW everything. I can live with SLOW if the product is that good.

Yep! I bought the DA36 from John, who had owned it for a good 2 years. There are ZERO signs of wear anywhere on the case. I have changed out the spring bars twice so far and scratched the lugs in the process, no scratches to be found. It's quite amazing. On normal SS, I would have definitely made a mark on the lugs.

John, aka Tragic? I recall him buying that watch. Amazing. Thanks for the testimonial on it.

I know virtually nothing about Damasko bit from the pics, I LIKE!! Still I wish there was a steel bracelet as I'm not a strap guy. The looks of this chrono are EXCELLENT!

Yep! He went and got himself a UTS 2000M Pacific Horizon diver to replace the Damaskos (he also sold his 67).

Yeah, they have been working on a SS bracelet for years now.
