OCEAN7 RE-LAUNCH
OCEAN7 RE-LAUNCH
Hello DWC Members,
My name is Pat O'Malley and I would like to announce that OCEAN7 is under new ownership!
I teamed up with a watchmaker and we have recently launched a new website. You may see a lot familiar models with a slightly different look. Our goal is to bring the brand back and come up with some fresh new designs. We have to first find out which models are popular and we would also like to shrink some of the cases down to the 42,40mm size, but we have to turn a profit first.
Come visit us at ocean7watchco.com
Feedback is welcome

This is pretty funny.
I was just on the website last night looking at the LM-3V2. That was my first micro purchase over 10 years ago and I’ve always wanted it back.
Looks a little different, but I think I had the bigger orange minute hand.

Re: OCEAN7 RE-LAUNCH
So the LM3 V2 you have in stock- is this like old stock or were these made recently?
I guess it’s been just over 10 years…

Re: OCEAN7 RE-LAUNCH
Yes the LM-3s we have are the original design. All of them were recently assembled from existing cases and dials.

Re: OCEAN7 RE-LAUNCH
Yeah, I was in on the original Ocean-7 LE and was disappointed at where all that went. Good luck.
Re: OCEAN7 RE-LAUNCH
Oh and we still use Swiss movements in everything.

Re: OCEAN7 RE-LAUNCH
OCEAN7 LE? Not sure what you mean.....I know there was some bad customer service issues in the past. I read through some of the old posts here and on WUS.

Re: OCEAN7 RE-LAUNCH
We have a mix of Sellita and ETA movements in all of our watches. I would have to check with my watchmaker to see which is in the LM-3

Re: OCEAN7 RE-LAUNCH
I loved my Ocean7. One of my best experiences with a micro watch.
Re: OCEAN7 RE-LAUNCH
Good to hear! I have an LM-2AD and an LM-5 I bought 10 years ago before purchasing the company. I still wear both to this day. The LM-2AD has been a solid watch! I wore it constantly at the firearms range when I was a range instructor with my P.D. That thing has been put through the paces and still running strong. I'm retired now but still use it. The LM-5 gets a lot of water use as I live near the ocean. No issues and I've had it serviced just once.

Re: OCEAN7 RE-LAUNCH
As the new owner you should probably research the brand history. The very first watch was a limited edition that was somewhat special (for what it was).340pd wrote:OCEAN7 LE?

I have the Meteor titanium LM-4, and the LM-8.
I like the Meteor very much, the titanium wears light on the wrist and the sandwich dial is nicely done with good enough lume.
The LM-8 is a monster watch. The male end links makes the watch have a much larger presence on the wrist. Female end links would have eased the fixed size presence of the watch on the wrist, but not much for the overall weight. It is a heavy watch.
Other than those observations each has a top grade eta movement and run very well.
I almost pulled the trigger on the gmt, but didn’t care for the hands. The lume was cut off from the tips of the hands ending up with club looking sticks in the dark which isn’t a good look.
Good luck Pat O’Malley. The website now shows it’s a veteran owned business, I don’t recall if that was the previous owner or are you as the new guy? But as a veteran myself I like to support veteran microbrands.

Whilst I've never owned one, I am happy the brand under new management and looking forward to what happens next.
Good Luck

LM-6 (I think) was my very first micro about a decade ago. It was a nice watch. Would buy again.

Re: OCEAN7 RE-LAUNCH
Good luck!

Always had a good experience with and will look at again.

It always just says now
