July: The design phase is complete. Two previous iterations of the 41.5mm case have been produced, but the link Cherry Red link is the first watch to utilize a date window with a relief, as well as being the first watch to feature a stainless steel raised relief bezel. Designers go through a number of dial samples and settle on the sunray cherry link red dial color.

Rounding out the Santos link party are two more models.

And while we're on link the subject, link I'll sprinkle in a few old-reliable favorites from each of the brands, too while I'm at it.
The link second job is keeping link the balance swinging. This also happens at the moment the balance unlocks the escapement. (Escapement enthusiasts will recognize a slight simplification here, link but let's allow it for the sake of clarity). As long as the energy delivered is consistent, the balance will always swing at the same rate.
Aside from the design elements I mentioned in the introduction to the 54, the main link takeaway that I found from having it on my wrist is that it feels very much link like a smaller Fifty-Eight, but that's only partially because of the 37mm case. The rest comes down to thickness and, and the manner in which the 54's various layers link stack up on your wrist.
Dating link back to 1967, the Sub 300 is one of the most iconic tool dive watches ever made, and this is the first time it has featured link a carbon case.
