Dark Shadows Costume Designer Interviewed

Crepas Tektite, prototipo.
La firma Crepas sigue firme en su espíritu inicial de reeditar modelos inspirados en clásicos, en esta ocasión nos vuelven a sorprender con el Tektite.
Basado en el modelo Super PH 500M de Certina, Crepas ha actualizado todos sus elementos para adaptarlos a los estándares actuales, haciéndolo resistente hasta las 200 atmósferas o 2000 metros, aunque sobre el papel se habían calculado 1200 metros las pruebas a las que se ha sometido el modelo real han superado ampliamente las expectativas iniciales.
El sistema de fijación de la correa se ha confiado a un pasador atornillado con lo que gana en seguridad y facilidad.
La esfera es uno de los capitulos donde más se ha afinado el diseño, a dos niveles, los indices sobresalen de la base, para pintarla se ha empleado un material con base de ceramica, creando un volumen y brillo difíciles de captar en una simple foto y de una gran belleza en vivo, las agujas son de tipo sword (espada) en blanco con la minutera en naranja, la ventana de la fecha está integrada en el indice de las seis, haciendo una esfera completamente simétrica, acentuado por el hecho de ser del mismo tono del indice, todo un acierto. 
Aquí lo tenéis con la nato original de El Buzo,al fin y al cabo ambos comparten el mismo ADN, hablando de interioridades lo mueve un 2824-2 en acabado Top grade, se diferencia con el acabado estándar en la sustitución de múltiples elementos que hacen que sea más exacto y fiable en el tiempo.
El Tektite transmite contundencia y solidez, sus 45mm se hacen notar y sus 18mm de altura hacen de este un reloj que no pasa desapercibido.
Le han aplicado una buena dosis de super luminova en la esfera y bajo el inserto de zafiro del bisel.
En definitiva el nuevo modelo de Crepas pone el listón muy alto, allá por el verano del año pasado charlando con Pablo del Le Grand me confesó que su primer modelo en realidad era una preparación para afrontar con éxito el proyecto Tektite, debido principalmente por la complejidad técnica del diseño de la caja, a día de hoy el Le Grand es una pieza codiciada por muchos aficionados como sin duda lo será este Tektite del que cada día quedan menos unidades disponibles.

En esta foto monta una correa de piel de tiburón realizada por el maestro Jacobo para El Buzo.
Los rasgos más interesantes de este modelo son la rosca entre la esfera y el bisel, heredado de los clásicos modelos dotados con caja Piquerez Super-Compressor que fijan el grueso cristal de 5mm. a la carrura y a la vez sirve de tope al sistema del bisel que tiene la misma funcionalidad que tenían antiguamente, siendo este bidireccional y requiendo presión hacia abajo para girarlo, este sistema aunque parezca primitivo en la practica es más efectivo que los usuales sistemas unidireccionales, otro elemento digno de elogio son los laterales, con un chaflán que recorre la caja de arriba a abajo entre sus planos horizontales y verticales y los complejos facetados que albergan la corona, estoy convencido que se ha empleado mucho tiempo en calcular los flancos de la caja, el resultado ha merecido la pena pues en este aspecto se pasa de lo técnico a lo bello.
