Hi Jonathan, Thank you so much for your fantastic review of the Nordic Marine SØVÆRN! We truly appreciate your keen eye for detail and for pointing out the results of our MØRK finish on the case. Your description really captured the essence of our craftsmanship. We're also glad you highlighted the flat case back, which is indeed perfect for engraving and contributes to the watch's sleek and flat profile. It's great to see how well it suits your wrist. Your comparison to other similar watches was insightful and we're thrilled that our NMI stands out in your eyes. ☺ Thank you as well for the constructive criticism about the lugs/end-links and quick-release pushers, we will take all of it in to our considerations for future models. For now, we think the female end-links help the watch with it's NMI typical lug design sit quite comfortable on the wrist, and the pushers of the spring-bars may look prominent, but don't influence the wear experience. So far, none of our Østersøen customers (same bracelet) have complained about it. Thanks again for your support and for showcasing our work so wonderfully. 🙂 For the audience: Make sure to subscribe to our newsletter to secure our pre-order deal, launching 06.06.2024. Best regards, The NMI Team 🌊

Wow that is a very interesting green tone indeed, I especially like the orange accents to compliment it Good to see the side by side comparisons with the other brands Excellent review as always Jonathan👍

2:55 I always appreciate, that you take the time to really narrow down details and offer comparisons we can all relate to instead of just saying "it has a nice green colour" as other reviewers might do 👍. In Danish, we have a saying, "gøre sig umage", it roughly translates to "making the effort".

I have room for one watch...Design aside, do you have a preference on the fit/finish/build quality between this and the vesterhav?

Color matched date wheel with a beveled window is surprisingly clean and elegant, easy to overlook. Spot on comparisons yet again!

This is really quite attractive. A smart looking case for a field take on a steel sports watch kinda works well and I agree it sits right with this colour. On promo shots, I feared that the green would too washed put. Certainly not a moss (though there are many shades) I'd think of. In your footage it's still more an olive drab to me, but a more saturated one and that helps with contrast, which seems of little concern here. It helps shed the feelign that the hands and markers may be just a little too thin. This now becomes reduced to a question of preference. I agree with the critique on the lip of the bracelet and in general this woudl likely jabe improved with just a touch more lug curvature. On you wrist I don't think it has the best fit because of this, which is a pity and seems unnecessary. I also regret they went with what seems like a pretty long clasp, which is never my favourite. A butterfly would not suit the concept here, but for wearing it I'd still prefer it. It is also a little disappointing that the bracelet has none of the recognisable character of the watch. It's a pretty boring par for the course construction and the watch would benefit from something more characterful. Still, it is bery unlikely to offend anyone. I agree that between the two Danes, they bring a lot of good stuff. On the whole, probably the Henry Archer just brings a concept closer to how I'd wear it. This is more toolish. I also know how well refined HA execution has become. So would I add a steel sports watch, I'm not sure it would be this one, but it's great to have choice of excellent quality and I do think NMI brings something memorable. Having seen the green in footage, I also think this is now my preferred colour for this watch. For many it should be worthy of recommendation.

Love the case. I’d have loved some more fun colors for the dials but otherwise, I’m very pleasantly surprised-especially given the asking price. Pretty impressive.

Yes the lugs don't turn down enough in my opinion. That, and the boring old oyster bracelet are the only criticism I can make of this beautiful piece. I do like the green dial. Perhaps better in titanium. Thanks.

That is a very nice watch. Very smart of them to not step too far outside the box. Nothing really groundbreaking here, and that's a good thing. It all looks new, yet familiar at the same time. Well done Nordic Marine! Great review!

Seems similar to the Henry Archer, which is an excellent watch. Wonder if the same guy is behind this one, too?

ordered the full lume model

Awesome. I saw these on Reddit last week. Really like the grey colored dial.

Great review. To me the dial is nothing special, but the case looks wonderful. Thanks fow showing this off.

Excellent review, of the dials I have seen so far this seems like the one to get. Thank you for your thoughts and camera shots

Very nice watch, it seems well finished and they chose the ideal movement for it. I just wish the lugs would curve down a little more. I'm not calling this a copy or an homage of anything but I believe they took a side glance at Longines when designing the watch. The polished little chamfer separating the chapter ring from the rest of the dial reminds me of the Longines Spirit. And the Longines even comes in a similar green.

Thank you for this nice review; very handsome watch. The finishing of the case reminds of the lightcatcher cases of Christopher Ward.

I have the Vesterhav 👍🏻, very nice watch, and this NMI is really cool too, so I will have a look at it.. 👍🏻

Love the green

Maybe it’s just me but I prefer thicker easier to read Handsets because reading time should be easy.

A really nice watch and an even better review. Thank you.

First! Who cares? Nice watch.

Sub 500 watches you are compromised on quantity of movement and so much choice even at around 200 . But this is a hair breath away from the cost of sekio Alpinist

That seconds hand is brilliant

That is a GORGEOUS watch!
