Audric has sent us info on their Strider watch. No, not a homage to the character from Lord of The Rings, but a very reasonably priced ETA powered watch, that has a slight similarity to the famous AP Royal Oak, from some angles.

An anti-scratch coating on the case, 200m water resistance, plus a sapphire crystal see-thru caseback all add up to excellent value for the money we reckon.

Here’s the word from Audric;

The idea of STRIDER was conceptualized in 2019 with first prototype developed in 2020. In the last few months, we have been tirelessly working to improve our STRIDER in every possible way and we believe that we have created a master piece.
What makes the STRIDER different is the angular and sharp contours with its minimalist and legible dial design.

The STRIDER will be a Kickstarter launch and the launch price is 499 USD. The retail price will be 799 USD.
