Morar 310 - COMING SOON
ESTIMATED SHIPPING: JAN/FEB
LAND, AIR & SEA
When designing the Morar 310 we were inspired not only by the dive world, but also by the surrounding environments of Search and Rescue (SAR) and Lifeboats. It seemed right and proper to celebrate the incredibly brave, selfless and skilful souls extracting people from danger, saving lives and doing so with a humility possessed by all emergency service operatives.
SPEC BEAST
The Morar 310 is a bit of a spec beast. This isn’t an exercise in box ticking or trying too hard, but more a measure of robustness. If this watch can contend with the majority of environments typically faced in the diving and SAR worlds, then it can easily withstand what most of us will face in ‘regular’ day-to-day living. Capable. Ready for anything.
The crystal is single-plane sapphire with anti-reflective coating on the inside only. We’ve used a crystal that has a round-over edge on the top surface alone, to give us that vintage feel yet still retain the thickness required for 310 metres’ water resistance.
On the dial you’ll see that, like the original Morar, the Morar 310 has a motif at 6 o’clock: a roundel featuring ‘310’ in the middle. However, what you’ll also see is a new addition - a halo encircling this roundel, which signifies the soft iron cage that enrobes the movement inside, giving a huge boost to the magnetic resistance of the Morar 310.
A DIVE WATCH AFTER ALL
Continuing on the dial, you’ll see big, deep polished frames filled with luminous compound, and large polished hands also filled with luminous compound - we want this to be a lume monster like the original, and so we’ve increased the area of luminous fill to boost to brightness and longevity of lume.
The original Morar had moulded crown guards, but we always thought that it would be nice, in the event of a mishap with a doorframe, if these now damaged guards could be replaced. The Morar 310 has perishable crown guards to allow you to do just that, whilst giving a bit more protection for the screw-down crown between them.
Finally, we have a helium release valve (HRV) between the lugs at 12 o’clock - discreetly placed to keep the 9 o’clock location clean. This is a one-way valve that will allow passage of the tiny helium gas bubbles that are generated during the transition period between breathing our regular atmosphere and the helium-rich oxygen mix. When would we do such a thing? Well, only when saturation diving. Very few of us will, but some might. This is a dive watch after all.
