The Vessel's design brief was to create an integrated-bracelet sports watch from the year 2075, rather than 1975.
The complex faceted sapphire crystal, featuring matching facets on the underside to reduce distortion, was a significant engineering challenge, reportedly pushing the project back by eight months to a year.
An aqua-colored seconds hand and rotor serve as a direct link to Wren's original Diver One Aqua model.
The integrated-style bracelet is made from 904L stainless steel and features a proprietary quick-release mechanism.
Designer Max Resnick, who worked on the Vessel, has a background in automotive design and has collaborated with other microbrands like VPC and Anoma.
Despite its angular appearance, the 39mm by 39mm case tapers aggressively, giving it a surprisingly compact feel on the wrist.
The watch features an exhibition caseback revealing the Sellita SW300-1 movement with a distinctive large, aqua-colored winding rotor.
The faceted sapphire crystal's design, with matching internal and external facets, is reminiscent of the TAG Heuer Monaco V4's crystal.
