Male watches Alexander Shorokhoff Flensi AS.DD05-B

During a visit to Flensburg, Alexander Shorokhov was inspired by an unforgettable evening that began with a leisurely walk along the waterfront, where the idyllic and peaceful atmosphere left a lasting impression on him. The walk ended perfectly at a cosy local fish restaurant, whose culinary specialities completed the magic of the evening. This exceptional experience gave rise to a visionary idea: to design a dial featuring the fascinating underwater world.

The resulting Flensi model, affectionately named after its place of origin, features a dial that presents a sea of colours and three-dimensional depth. The dial background is made in four different colours of mother-of-pearl: from light mother-of-pearl at the top to dark mother-of-pearl at the bottom, skilfully imitating the depth of the water.

The dial depicts an impressive composition of multicoloured fish and marine elements as appliqués with a 3D effect, creating a lively underwater scene. This unique design captures the beauty and diversity of the underwater world and masterfully expresses Alexander Shorokhov's vision.

The fish are made in an avant-garde style with a distinctive colour scheme that emphasises their lively presence. Each fish has a friendly and contented expression, just like Mr Shorokhov's mood on that unforgettable evening. At 8 o'clock, you will find that a bottle with a message from afar has washed up on the shores of Flensburg – you just have to find it. At 1 o'clock, an old anchor appears, said to be hidden somewhere on the seabed in Flensburg. The inscription "limited edition" is seamlessly incorporated into the design and can be found among the fish, further enhancing the exclusivity of the model. Overall, the dial creates a friendly aura and a relaxed mood that is perfectly conveyed when wearing the watch.

The hands are strikingly black with a prominent luminescent coating that perfectly matches the colour of the hour markers at 3, 6 and 9 o'clock and makes the time easier to read. The 45 mm diameter case has two crowns: one at 2 o'clock for the internal rotating bezel and the other at 4 o'clock for setting the time. Both crowns are clearly marked to avoid confusion. The crowns also have double seals to provide optimal protection against water pressure. A particularly high-quality process was developed to give the bezel a different colour. The bezel is made of robust titanium, and a special anodising process was chosen to apply the colour. This creates a harmonious connection between the dial and the strap.

The case back has an artistic design featuring a beautiful image from the depths of the sea – an adorable pair of turtles in 3D. Inside the case is a reliable and robust Swiss movement, the ETA 2824 or equivalent Sellita SW-200 movement, fitted with a hand-engraved and refined rotor. For comfortable wear and worry-free use in water, a high-quality rubber strap was developed with an elegant folding clasp made of solid stainless steel. On the upper side of the strap, the avant-garde AS brand logo appears on one side and the slogan “Art on the Wrist” on the other.

This unusual model is supplied in a special watch box. Inside is a rippled fabric lining in a light bluish colour. A “window” with a steel frame in the top of the box allows the watch to be admired even when the box is closed.

The brand has succeeded in creating another exclusive piece of art, made in a limited edition of just 60 pieces.
