Why that is interesting indeed. Seems to be around 10mm from my quick search. Super interesting they can get that with this type of case profile/shape... But this was on a 36-37mm case vs the 38mm plus cases today.... So if you take the current manual wind references at at around 38mm-40mm GS references with thickness around 11.5mm.... It's not that they far fetched.
I like everyone else like thin watches so I do think anything taller than the 12.5mm height (unless it's a specialized diver or a very special complication) for the regular sports watches is outside my comfort zone. The new 9s85 is in the right direction... If they can only do something about that 80hr thing on the dial....
