Review - https://youtu.be/Bqu7aaJsE0I

If you watched my review of the pastel blue Seaforth a few weeks ago, you'll know how impressed I was with that watch. Since then, I've purchased two Seaforth watches of my own, and I've been waiting for this Universa ever since I heard about it's existence a few months ago. This watch belongs to the same design family as the Fairwind, and can be thought of as a fixed bezel Fairwind, however there's more to it than just the bezel, as we'll see in a bit.

The pastel blue dials for the Universa were released in small amounts for this release, and I believe only 100 of these dials were made as a trial run. Jason has stated that this dial will return in the next release. The bathyl blue and slate grey dial options are still available, and are being released in small batches every 2-3 weeks. Due to the current COVID situation, Jason has moved assembly to Canada, and these watches are being hand assembled to order by Roldorf & Co, hence the throttled release.

These watches cost $735 USD, with an additional $25 to ship it to the United States. And while I maybe slightly biased since I'm somewhat of a Halios fanboy, hopefully by the end of this video you'll see why I think this is a very reasonable price for what you're getting.
