And the “indestructible” feel is still ever present, which is a good thing, as this is a dive watch, and your life may depend on it. The Linde Werdelin Oktopus aesthetics remain as strong as ever. Piguet movements, now known as Manufacture Blancpain, are not available outside the Swatch Group. Our best guess of the current movement is that the Sven Andersen module is retained, but the base is probably now an ETA or Sellita. The movement has existed in Linde Werdelin watches since 2010, and was originally a Sven Andersen moon module over a F. The movement is an unspecified automatic with an added moon phase module. The Crazy Universe is the most expensive, presumably due to the additional handwork on the case. The naming convention is just Oktopus Moon and it is currently the least expensive model in the lineup. Interestingly, this model is just released, and is the base model. The only differences between the models are the dial, with the novelty sporting a Bronze Gold dial and the Grade 2 Ti case with 18k RG crown. This new model – the Oktopus Moon is a development over their Oktopus Moon line, joining 3 other existing models using the same module – Oktopus Moonlight (ALW proprietary alloy case), Oktopus Crazy Universe (Grade 5 Ti case) and Oktopus BluMoon (Grade 5 Ti case).

We featured the Oktopus Blue Sea which is a collaboration with Black Badger to display a full dial in high lume. The construction of the new Oktopus Moon is on the same case as the regular Oktopus which features many iterations of the basic large date which Linde Werdelin calls the Double Date model. The Oktopus is Linde Werdelin’s diving watch, with a depth rating of 300m. Press Release information with commentary in italics. Marking the beginning of Autumn and reflective of the colours of a Harvest Moon, Linde Werdelin presents the Oktopus Moon with bronze and gold dial.
