I fell in love a while back and I think she loves me too. I saw this beauty and it was love at first sight. I came across her at my favorite watch/jeweler recently and as they are going out of business, I knew I needed to save her, and well I think she loves me for it. This Phoibos Eagle Ray is now with me til death do us part. https://phoiboswatch.com/products/phoibos-eagle-ray-200m-automatic-compressor-dive-watch-py039e-sunray-red.html

After doing a Jurassic Park tribute, Awake has just released the second chapter in its Tribute to the Seventh Art series, The Deadly Watch. This time, we’re looking at a bold limited edition, based on the classic Son Mai Platform and inspired by equally-cult Tarantino’s Kill Bill Vol. 1. With only 88 numbered pieces – a playful homage to the film’s infamous Crazy 88 deadly squad – this creation blends cinematic nostalgia with Vietnamese craftsmanship. At the heart of this cinema-inspired watch lies a handcrafted Son Mai lacquer dial, produced in Awake’s Hanoi workshop using traditional Vietnamese techniques. Master lacquerers developed exclusive pigments to reinterpret the film’s iconic visual language: vibrant yellow for purity and resilience, red for rage and vengeance, and deep black for mystery and emotional darkness. Each dial requires nearly ten hours of meticulous handwork, resulting in a unique, light-catching surface enhanced by Awake’s luminous Super-LumiNova signature, framing the hands and applied indexes. Inside the piece beats the La Joux-Perret G101 automatic calibre, offering 68 hours of power reserve and a custom tungsten rotor. Completing the ensemble is a handcrafted leather strap inspired by Beatrix Kiddo’s iconic yellow-and-black outfit, in matte black Barenia calfskin lined with yellow calfskin, with yellow and red topstitching. The case is identical to other editions of the Son Mai, measuring 39mm and made out of recycled stainless steel. In a final nod to fans, two of the future owners will receive a Golden Ticket, being selected to win a replica of The Bride’s legendary Hattori Hanzo katana. A limited edition of 88 pieces, in reference to the cult fight scene in Kill Bill Vol. 1, the Awake Son Mai “The Deadly Watch” is available from the brand’s website for EUR 1,650 excluding tax.
