Rectangular Fears collection, named after Arnos Vale in Bristol; the Pewter Blue (listed March 2025) was the first piece and the Opera Black (listed October 2026) the second, both on sale on 2026-10-25. Case machined in Switzerland: 22.6 x 33.5mm, 40mm lug-to-lug, 8.40mm thick with curved front and back (spec tab); the width is recorded as the diameter. Automatic Sellita SW1000-1 b in Fears' "top-grade", shown with hours and minutes only (no seconds hand, no date), 46-hour power reserve. Fears' spec tab gives 18 jewels; Sellita's catalogue lists the dateless SW1000-1 b with 16 (the movement file records the 18-jewel date version). Sapphire crystal with ARdur AR coating on both sides; closed caseback. Each colourway comes with two straps (see straps; the Pewter Blue's were made by Delugs).
