I write about at least 5 watches pretty much every single week day and with such an output (and input of information), it's incredibly easy to become jaded with new releases. Quickly, stuff becomes boring and repetitive. It takes a lot to get me even a little bit excited. And I'm most excited when I discover a brand that's new to me. Somewhere in the very back of my mind, I seem to remember the name E.C. Andersson, but I was so delighted to re-discover them. Their Timepod was a wildly fun watch in a square case, a GMT and lugs you can pull off without tools. Now, they have released a new watch, one that is so much simpler than the Timepod. It's round, small and built for use at sea, which is clear from the Cpt name. But even as a simple watch, it has such a distinct design language that I can't but not love it.

The case is made out of stainless steel, with brushed and polished surfaces, and it is 35mm wide, 35.6mm at the bezel, and 10.4mm thick. The box sapphire crystal accounts for almost 2mm of that, so the case itself is just 8.5mm thick. Lug-to-lug is 43mm. While that lug-to-lug is fairly long for a watch that is just 35mm wide, overall this sounds like an incredible package. Especially with a water resistance of 100 meters.

There are two dials at launch of the new model, Bright Silver and Midnight Blue. Both are textured, with applied markers that are polished and filled with Super-LumiNova. But those markers... what in the art is going on here. These marker shapes have been a staple of E.C. Andersson design for a while now, curved and long, sort of like half-cut shields. I don't know how to properly describe them, I just know I like them.

Inside is a movement based on the Miyota 9039, running at 4Hz with hacking seconds and a little over 42 hours of power reserve. E.C. Andersson does the regulation, testing and final assembly itself, and certifies each watch to -1/+6 seconds per day. The Cpt ships on a nylon strap, black or tan, with a deployant clasp and a tucked end. The lugs are 20mm, so finding a replacement is easy.

The E.C. Andersson Cpt is currently limited to 45 watches per dial for the first run, but the brand says that they will bring it back right after that run. Price is set at €1,115\.
