About this entry

73% of key specs known. Missing: weight, hardening, AR coating, bracelet offered.

Sold as the "A11" in steel (title and SKUs); the spec list gives the model as "Thorn SHY040", which is used as the name, with A11 as the collection. The titanium A11 is SHY034 and the steel NH34 GMT A11 is SHY041 (separate models); the G11 (SHY043) is a different case. Brand specs: Japan NH35 automatic, 316L case, "imported European sapphire" crystal, 200m, Swiss C3 green lume, screw-down crown and caseback, 36mm without crown, 43mm lug-to-lug, 13.88mm including the crystal, 18mm band. The SKUs say the caseback is flat. The photos show both dials on khaki canvas straps (the strap is not described) and no date window, so the NH35's date is recorded as hidden. The white option is listed as "A11-White dial 602" (the 602 is not explained). Price $159 for either dial. First listed on Thorn's store in May 2024.
