Fears x AMW 40.5 'Ultimus' - British Flair or Plain White Square?! - Worth The Hype?! Episode #66
My Watches PodcastShow Notes
The Fears 40.5 × Andrew Morgan features a 40.5 mm stainless-steel case with a distinctive sector-style dial centred around a ceramic lume disc, creating a strong contrast between the luminous centre and surrounding dial. The ceramic centre is designed to glow brightly in low light, while the outer dial carries the detailed markings and applied elements that give the watch its distinctive character.
Powering the watch is an automatic Sellita SW200-1 movement visible through the sapphire exhibition caseback. Rather than being produced as a standard limited edition, the watch is offered through a limited production order window, with the final quantity determined by orders received, and each individual watch is numbered.
