It's nearly time for the second Supersede Pre-order to start.
Pre-Order Timeline
This Tuesday April 12th at 14:00 CET the shop will have Supersede products displayed for 72 hours.
After 72 hours the shop will close on Friday April 15th at 14:00CET until the third pre-order round later this summer.
Last Minute Updates
Many of you have reached out to us and many new folks have recently discovered the project so it's great to hear the excitement going into this round. Those that have reached out have submitted a few requests that we decided to add to this round at the last minute.
Jets Stream Grey
Jet Stream Grey will be added again to the pre-order. Initially we decided to remove this dial colour based on the voting from the community however over time Jet Stream Grey has really started to grow on people. Even though it did not fair well in the votes it was the 3rd most purchased dial colour in the first pre-order.
We had a few images of the Jet Stream Grey circulating recently as well we have absolutely fell in love with the look of it after finally nailing down the correct shade for the dial.
Bracelets
At one point I had asked the community if we should include bracelets at checkout in case someone would like to have both a polished and brushed bracelet. Nearly all suggested we not offer it at checkout, however since then we have had those from the first pre-order round asking for it be available as well as new customers waiting for this round to have a chance at picking up a second bracelet.

For this second pre- order round you can also purchase a second bracelet for 490 Swiss francs. Regular retail will be 690 Swiss francs and all bracelets will also ship with the micro-adjustment buckle.
Photographed Dial Colours
Prototyping and achieving just the right colour as communicated in our animations is very difficult. Until now we have shown most dial colours, but the Jet Stream Grey and Atoll Blue have been the hardest dial in. Below are images of each of how the colours will look. We used different situations and lighting to try to give you more of a real world perspective.

Currently we are just preparing for the final media samples to be ready. We had hoped they would be completed by now, but Covid set back production. With the media samples we will be able to finish our studio photography of all dial colours. If you decide to change your mind after seeing the studio images we are happy to change the dial colour for you prior to the next pre-order round starting this summer.
Recapping Previous Forum Posts
As previously communicated we are still working on the waterproofness of Supersede. The goal is to reach 200 meters and we are keen to see if we will reach it. 100 meters is no issue, but doubling that is quite a challenge with such a big sapphire window to the K2 calibre.
The micro-adjustment clasp should be finished just after our pre-order ends so I will be back with an update on what the final technical prototype of it looks like.
As for the rotor the material is still heavily debated. The biggest issue with micro-rotors from other movement makers in the past was poor rewinding efficiency. Jonas our head of engineering is crunching tolerances and looking to squeeze the greatest rewinding efficiency out of K2. He has already achieved what he set out to do and looks to better upon that by selecting just the right rotor material. Whatever it is in the end it will be sure to keep Supersede ticking and might just turn a few heads.

@landon.stirling Hi Landon, having had to withdraw from my first round pre-order, I have placed a new order in this second round. I had a query about it and sent an email but haven’t heard back. Any chance someone could just come back to me please?
