DuFrane Watches has highlighted a unique styling combination featuring their custom red straps paired with the Rose Gold Waterloo model, specifically the Hammered Copper dial variant. Originally designed for the 10-year anniversary Circuit model, these red straps have become a recommended option for customers seeking a high-contrast look. The brand owner reflects on the versatility of strap changes and the visual impact of this specific color pairing. In a logistical update, DuFrane announced that their showroom will have a limited schedule throughout May due to travel for the Windup San Francisco event and a scheduled vacation. The showroom will only be open for appointments from May 6th to May 8th and will remain closed until May 20th. Operations will continue under the care of staff member Gavin during this period. The newsletter also provided an update on the Circuit Chronograph, noting that the release of the red and white public versions is currently on track for late May. The owner shared a look at the exclusive 'Customer Edition' Circuit Chronograph, featuring a dark green dial of which only 11 exist. Enthusiasts are encouraged to join the waitlist for the upcoming Westlake model, which may feature similar green dial elements. Additionally, the brand briefly spotlighted fellow microbrand Straum for their distinctive dial designs.
