Project "Polar Green"

We’re super excited to share our latest Polar Project . We’re teaming up with Watchout247 to take an already awesome vintage-style watch and make it even better. Our goal? To turn it into something that really stands out!

A Great Watch, But Let’s Make It Pop

The watch we’re working on already has that cool vintage vibe, but we thought—why not push it even further? By adding some bold new colors and details, we can make it a real head-turner while keeping that classic charm intact.

Taking It Apart

First things first, we had to take the watch apart. Disassembling it was pretty smooth, but the bezel insert gave us a bit of a challenge. Nothing we couldn’t handle, though! Once we got everything off, we were left with a blank canvas, ready for the big upgrades.

What’s Changing?

For the Polar Green build, we’re switching out a few key things to give the watch a fresh new look:

  • Bezel Insert – A new one that’ll add some nice contrast and personality.

  • Dial – A fresh dial to make it pop even more.

  • Hands – Picking a new set that works perfectly with the updated design.

  • Strap – A comfy and stylish strap to tie it all together.

A Bold New Look

We started by upgrading the bezel insert to a striking green ceramic piece that immediately sets the tone.

The dial received a complete overhaul with a crisp White/Polar Sub design, and the hands were redesigned into a bolder, more commanding shape—perfect for those who appreciate both form and function.

Enhanced Visibility

This build isn’t just about aesthetics. It features a dual-lume setup engineered for superb visibility in low-light conditions. Both the hands and the bezel insert are treated with C3 lume, while the dial benefits from BGW9 lume, resulting in an exceptionally bright and clear glow.

Finishing Touch

To complement the refreshed design, we fitted the watch with a sleek green CTS rubber strap, enhancing its sporty appeal and ensuring a comfortable fit.

This transformation perfectly blends modern style with practical performance, turning a classic timepiece into a standout work of art.
