Swiss watchmaker ochs und junior has launched the ochs line mese 2.23, a new timepiece following its successful first ochs line date watch, the mese 1.22. This new release comes as a tribute to the renowned American design duo, Ray and Charles Eames, embodying their understated 1950s color scheme.<\/p>\n
The mese 2.23’s dial and date disc sport an understated black coat, accented with six light green indices. Its hour hand features a smoky green hue, while the minute and second hands are light green and orange, respectively, with a striking orange point marking the date.<\/p>\n
Designed by Ludwig Oechslin, the watch’s module notably is made up of just two parts, alongside the ETA\u2019s 2824-2 movement, demonstrating a blend of simplicity and functionality reminiscent of the Eameses’ design approach.<\/p>\n
Available in 39mm and 42mm, the mese 2.23 is encased in Grade 5 titanium, paired with a black Ecopell leather strap, featuring an innovative buckle design by Oechslin — which is available in various sizes.<\/p>\n
The mese 2.23 is priced at CHF 3,230 or $3,538 USD and is available now via ochs und junior’s official site, along with the mese 1.22, which is available for the same price. A bundle package is also available for true enthusiasts.<\/p>\n
