As you’re surely aware, we’re fans of what Xetum has been bringing to the market.  Until now, however, you didn’t have much of an option when it came to finishes.

With a new PVD-coated Tyndall model in the mix, however, you’ve got variety.  Of course, it’s not just the case finish in black – you’ve also got the midnight dial and cork-lined black leather strap in the mix as well.

Now, for a review of this particular model, we hooked you up with that a while ago (you can read that here).  For a quick run-down of the specs, we have the following:

• Black matte PVD case with sapphire crystal up front
• Swiss ETA 2895-2 movement (elaboree grade) with engraved black rotor
• Naturally tanned leather strap with cork lining and a PVD buckle

In short, you’ve got some nice Swiss machinery going to work in a California-designed case.  If you’re interested, you can place your pre-order   here, with pricing coming in at $1495 (just a $100 premium over the non-PVD case with leather strap).  Pre-orders are open now, and shipping begins later this month, on October 23rd.
