Linde Werdelin SpidoLite SA Rose Gold Limited Edition Watch

by Ariel Adams (RSS feed) Oct 20th 2009 at 12:01PM

Sport Luxury (or is it "luxury sport") watch maker Linde Werdelin will release a new version of its SpidoLite SA watch in 18k rose gold with a black DLC (diamond like carbon) coated dial. The watch is a stunning union of luxury and the unique merits that the SpidoLite watch line provides. Plus, I feel that the high contrast between the gold hands and the black dial make for improved legibility.

The SpidoLite SA line is known for its Svend Andersen ("SA") decorated vintage automatic mechanical movement (with a special blue gold automatic rotor), as well as the special skeletonized Biformeter case. All in all a great watch, further enhanced by the look and luxury of rose gold. Price for the gold version is not actually that much more than the standard titanium version. There is also a new version of the SpidoLite watch in all black DLC coated titanium, which is very nice (that version has metallic blued hands). Prices for the all DLC coated version are 9,800 euros, while the pictures rose gold version is 15,800 euros. Each is limited to just 88 pieces. Available very soon.

This piece feels similar to the way I feel about the Hublot Big Bang post above. The gold is nice, but LW is really known for the SpidoLite. I am not sure that if I want a tool watch, I would want this particular piece, given all of the choices in that price range. Interesting, yes. Best of breed, no.
