About this entry

74% of key specs known. Missing: weight, hardening, end links, link attachment, clasp micro-adjust.

Imperial's first watch, unveiled October 2022 (Worn & Wound) and sold out at launch; reissued in April 2023 as limited editions (Classic Black: 45 no-date and 25 date; Ghosted Green and Tropical: 50 each with date or no-date; OG Blue: 30, date only), then 15 one-of-one pieces hand-built with Odokadolo Industries in October 2023 (custom bakelite-style, aluminium or metal bezel inserts; only "Roulette" has a date). The brand says these were the last Royalguards ("that is it for the Royalguard line"). Brand spec image: 316L case, 38mm, total thickness 14mm, 47mm lug to lug, 20mm lugs, Seiko NH35, sapphire "vintage dome" with AR, screw-down 7.5mm crown, aluminium dive insert, Swiss vintage lume, 316L bracelet with solid links, 20-16mm taper and a micro-adjust clasp (type not stated). No-date versions use the NH35 with a ghost date position (Two Broke Watch Snobs); date versions have a red and black roulette date wheel. Bezel direction from Worn & Wound; it says 90 clicks while Two Broke Watch Snobs says 120, so clicks are left blank. Push-button clasp per Two Broke Watch Snobs, milled per Worn & Wound. Launch prices were discounted (USD 399 for the 2023 editions for 72 hours); the store prices are recorded.
