The first watch in Straum's "Built For" collection, launched in August 2026 in three dials; the Midnight Blue Launch Edition is limited to 200 pieces. Brand spec sheet: "bezel diameter 38.2mm" (no separate case diameter is given; Fratello calls it a 38.2mm case), 11mm thick (10.3mm excluding the crystal), 45.7mm lug tip to lug tip, drilled lug holes 42.5mm apart, 24.8mm at the case (integrated strap and bracelet), 10 ATM. Case, stepped bezel, enlarged screw-down crown (with a Fluor Orange indicator visible when unscrewed), closed screw-down caseback (etched hiker), bracelet and clasp are all described as "Hardened Grade 5 Titanium"; the hardening process and hardness are not stated. Movement per Straum: LJP G100 with date at 6 (printed in Fluor Orange), Standard grade "regulated in-house" to a middle rate of 7 ±7 s/day (recorded as 0 to +14), max. divergence 20 s/day, isochronism ±15 s/day, 68h. Dials: lacquered Midnight Blue or bead-blasted bare titanium (Titanium Gray) with cast BGW9 Grade A indices and numerals, or a fully luminous BGW9 foil dial with black PVD applied indices (White Lume); black chapter ring with white minutes; lumed hands, nickel-plated on the Midnight Blue and black PVD on the others, and a black PVD seconds hand with a Fluor Orange tip and a luminous circle. Fratello also notes a 24-hour scale inside the indices. Weights per Straum: about 50g head only, 80g on the FKM strap, about 101g on the titanium bracelet. Bracelet: CNC-machined Grade 5 titanium, tapering 24.8mm to 18mm over the first five links, pin and collar with sizing tools, two 130% links, push-button quick release at the case, machined push-button butterfly clasp with an enclosed ratchet micro-adjust of 4mm in total (2mm per side across 3 positions). FKM straps fit 14.5 to 21cm wrists; strap adapters for most 20mm straps are sold separately. Prices are Straum's US-dollar prices ($3,100 on the bracelet, $2,750 on FKM rubber, the strap colour chosen at order; NOK 35,000 / 31,000 including Norwegian VAT); Fratello gives €2,360 and €2,100 excluding tax.
