About this entry
67% of key specs known. Missing: weight, hardening, AR coating, crown, bracelet offered.
Pook's 38.5mm skin-diver case on the Miyota 8215, named after the Raja line; the same case on the Miyota 9039, rated 200m, is the separate Ankkuri model, and the VCW, on this movement with an acrylic crystal, is also separate. Pook's limited editions and collaborations on this case and movement are recorded here as editions. Spec tables (Raja, Raja II, On The Dark Waters, the three Moomin watches and Saaristo agree unless noted): 316L stainless steel (brushed and polished on the collaborations); 38.5mm without crown, given on the Raja listings as "W38,5mm x H48,5mm" (the 48.5mm height is recorded as lug-to-lug, as on the Ankkuri); "full thickness" 13mm (taken as including the crystal); 20mm lugs; sapphire crystal; screw-down caseback; Miyota 8215 (41-42h stated); 36-month warranty; assembled in Joensuu. The Raja listings add a steel screw-down crown and a steel bezel with aluminium inlay; On The Dark Waters also has a screw-down crown, while the Moomin tables say only "stainless steel crown signed M" and Saaristo "stainless steel crown" with a glass bezel insert. The rotating coin-edged bezel is seen in the photos; its direction and clicks are not stated. Water resistance: the Raja, Raja II and Saaristo tables give 10 ATM / 100m, the On The Dark Waters and Moomin tables 12 ATM / 120m. The 120m tables repeat, word for word, the case, dial and water-resistance lines of the earlier VCW listing (whose caseback reads "para 120M"), so the 100m stated on the line's own listings is recorded. The date differs by edition: the Raja and Raja II show the 8215's date at 3 (their tables list "day" among the functions and offer a black or white date disc), while On The Dark Waters, the Moomin watches and Saaristo list hours, minutes and seconds only and show no date window. Lume is "Swiss luminous" on the Raja listings and Saaristo, "Japan luminous" on the collaborations, whose shared dial line ("matt grain pattern dial with Japan luminous and gilt style print") is copied between listings, so the dial descriptions follow the photos. Prices are in EUR including Finnish VAT. Not stated: weight, crystal shape, AR coating, lume grade. Editions. On The Dark Waters (Amorphis collaboration, released 28 January 2022 with the band's single of that name; 100 pieces, sold out in the pre-order phase): dark sunburst dial with a Kalevala atmosphere, paranato strap and a greeting signed by the band; designed by Andreas Prepula with the band. The pre-order page asked a non-refundable 50% deposit of EUR 249.50 and gave the full price as EUR 499 plus shipping; the current listing shows no price. A later Amorphis watch, Halo, is on the Ahjo case. Muumipeikko (Moomintroll; Moomin Characters collaboration, one of the three Moomin watches of Pook's first Moomin release, each a serial-numbered edition of 100; sold out): Moomintroll artwork dial, 60-minute bezel, crown signed M; the description gives the price as EUR 495 each including Finnish VAT. Pikkumyy (Little My) and Pyrstötähti (the comet, from Comet in Moominland) are the other two watches of that release, on the same terms (100 pieces each, EUR 495, sold out): Little My on a flower under lightning with a 60-minute bezel, and Moomin characters under a starry sky with a sparsely marked bezel. Raja ("border", 100 serial-numbered pieces, sold out): made in recognition of the people who secure Finland's borders on land, at sea and in the air, with part of the run given free of charge to border-control workers nominated by others; designed by Andreas Prepula and built by watchmaker Jani Ikonen; dark dial with an orange-and-white chapter ring, teal bezel, black-and-orange paranato strap. Raja II (a second Raja listing with the same text and table, 100 pieces, estimated completion late May 2024; sold out): black dial with a red-orange chapter ring, navy paranato strap and an emblem engraved on the caseback. No price for either Raja listing was found on the brand's current or archived pages or elsewhere, so they are recorded without one. Saaristo ("archipelago", Pook's first watch made for women, with the Turku retailer Kelloliike Salonen as the only other seller during the pre-order; 100 serial-numbered pieces; sold out): blue sunburst dial, blue glass bezel insert, leather strap. Its pre-order page, archived in March 2024, asked a non-refundable 50% deposit of EUR 98.50 including VAT and gave the full price as EUR 197 plus shipping, far below the line's other editions; the current listing shows no price.
