echo/neutra Averau Ceramic Sand

The Averau Ceramic Sand collection ships in 1-2 weeks after purchase. The Averau Ceramic line picks up a new sand-dial finish, trading the collection's usual dark palette for a warm, understated tone that plays off the case's matte black ceramic shell. It comes in two forms: the 3H, a clean time-only version, and the Chrono, which adds a full chronograph module while keeping the same design language and dial color. Both versions share a 42mm matte black ceramic case, chosen for being lightweight, scratch-resistant, and thermally stable enough to sit comfortably against skin. Reinforcing the case is echo/neutra's Grade 2 titanium TiFrame system, built specifically to strengthen the lugs — typically one of the more failure-prone points where a strap attaches. The closed caseback is also Grade 2 titanium, engraved with the collection logo and an individual serial number per watch. A domed sapphire crystal and screw-down crown carry through on both models, along with a 51.5mm lug-to-lug and 100m of water resistance. Where they diverge is thickness: the 3H stays slim at 10.5mm, while the Chrono's added complication pushes it out to 14.6mm. Movement is where the two models really separate. The 3H runs on the Sellita SW200-1 automatic elaboré, a clean three-hand caliber built to elaboré-grade finishing and regulation standards. The Chrono instead uses the Sellita SW510B-1 automatic elaboré, a purpose-built chronograph movement that adds stopwatch functions without sacrificing the elaboré-level accuracy and finishing Sellita's higher grades are known for.
