The Raven Solitude retains the brand's core DNA of making tough, dive ready tool watches, while adding more sculptural lines and elegant finishing into the mix. Based on an obscure vintage dive case from the 70's, the Solitude features swooping curves and razor-sharp lines that are stunning in the metal. Upscaled slightly to 40mm, it has the charm of something a bit older, but the fit and finish of something completely new.
This version of the Solitude is a collaboration with Worn & Wound, and limited to only 30 pieces. Playing off of the vintage-inspired DNA of the Solitude, the LE includes gold accents throughout for that classic "gilt" look. The result is striking, bringing a new element of casual style into the mix. To further emphasize this black and gold combo, the Solitude LE includes an Admiralty Gray ADPT strap in addition to a black rubber strap. The dark, cool gray tone really makes the gold pop.
The Raven Solitude is powered by the Seiko NH35A automatic movement. This Japanese workhorse is highly dependable and features 24-jewels, date, hand-winding, 41-hour power reserve, a frequency of 21,600 bph and hacking seconds (the second hand stops when the crown is pulled out).
