Preview: Cobra de Calibre Molon Labe

John Lee of Cobra de Calibre has launched a new project on Kickstarter. The Molon Labe is a 43mm CuSn8 bronze case watch based similar to his earlier projects, but this time with a Ronda 782 quartz movement. 

The Molon Labe features a domed sapphire crystal with an inner anti-reflective coating, 8mm screw-down crown, Swiss SuperLuminova, and a 22mm Crazy Horse leather strap. The cushion case is brushed and polished. It is rated for 100m water resistance.

Like other Cobra de Calibre watches, the dials are textured with applied markers and dramatic sword-shaped hands. Color options include green, black, and a particularly intriguing raw copper. 

For $329 CAD, or about $239 USD, the Molon Labe is an appealing prospect. For more information or to order your own, check out the Cobra de Calibre Kickstarter page. The campaign closes June 1. ⬩
