As such I like to keep my ear to the ground on up and coming developments and, back in December last year I posted a CAD pic of a new, forthcoming model the Benguela.
Good progress has been made, despite the C-19 pandemic, on the development of the Benguela and some pictures of prototypes have recently been released;-Bahnstormer_vRS wrote: ↑Thu Dec 19, 2019 9:49 pm . . . . .. .
Mike @ Draken posted an early design for a 500m Diver he's working on for next year, the Benguela.
Gets my vote.

Basic specs on the watch are;-
43mm case width
Bead blasted 316L stainless steel case
500m WR with HEV
Sapphire crystal with AR
Hooded lugs
Black, Blue or Green three layer sandwich dials
Seiko NH35A or ETA 2824-2 (limited number) movement
Further details may be found in Draken's various blog posts, the most recent of which from 21st July is Making of the Benguela - The Prototypes
Much as Draken has been around for quite a few years now and they might do a simple release on their webite, they have chosen to stick with the tried and tested (with their previous models) method of using Kickstarter, the launch of which is due on Friday 14th August 06:00hrs NZT / Thursday 13th August 19:00hrs BST (GMT + 1)
I'll be there; for a green dial version.
