Horizon Nemo Reimagined: When Artistry Meets Engineering
Every once in a while, two creative worlds collide in the best possible way. That’s the story behind the Horizon x Selten Nemo Reissue—a watch that doesn’t just tell time, but tells it beautifully. This piece blends Horizon’s bold, adventure-driven design with Selten’s mesmerizing craftsmanship to deliver something microbrand magic simply doesn’t reach every day—or second.
An Unexpected Duet of Minds
The collaboration began not in a boardroom, but in quiet admiration. Fred Bekher of Horizon Watches stumbled upon one of Selten’s creations—the M1 Moonphase—with its CNC-etched mother-of-pearl dial catching light like ripples on water. Even through a screen, Bekher could see potential. A message later, and Selten’s Leonardo Tsai was on board without hesitation. “Fred’s Horizon Nemo collection felt like the perfect canvas for our unique dials,” Tsai would later recount, words you can almost already imagine dusted in passion.
From that spark came two compelling colourways. One, black, echoes Selten’s elegance—tailored, formal, quietly confident. The other, teal, feels alive—a nod to Horizon’s nautical roots, unconscious recall of ocean depths and coral reefs. Each one is limited to just 50 pieces worldwide, a number small enough to feel exclusive, ripe with possibility.

Between the Case and the Dial
Pull up the Nemo Reissue on your screen and you’ll first notice the casework. At 40mm, it hits the sweet spot: big enough to feel bold, small enough to slip under a cuff. The mix of brushing and polishing on the 316L steel suggests precision—but there’s warmth there, too. Pop that sapphire crystal with its layered anti-reflective coating, and you’ve got clarity from every angle, even under the sun. And the bezel? A rotating, sapphire insert beast lit with Super-LumiNova BGW9, vintage charm packed with legibility for real diving light—or late-night texts.
Then there’s Selten’s masterpiece: that guilloché mother-of-pearl. It’s alive. Watching it is like catching sunbeams bouncing off water. Sliver-thin hands and applied markers, also glowing in low light—nothing distracts from this dial’s otherworldliness. It’s the kind of dial that makes you pause, just to watch how it changes as you shift your wrist.
Everything-You-Need Versatility
Tech specs read like a cozy checklist for collectors who value both tradition and ease: the slim Miyota 9039 automatic movement, a screw-down crown, 200m water resistance—all the function you expect, wrapped in artistry you don’t. And for strap lovers, the package is pure luxury: a vintage-style leather band and an integrated steel bracelet equipped with “MicroSliders” for quick, fuss-free adjustment. Two styles, one watch, zero compromises.
A Flash of Rarity
Only 100 of these will ever exist—50 in teal, 50 in black. That’s it. You can pre-order yours now (Red Army Watches is taking names), tempting pricing starting at MYR 3,715, with a retail tag of MYR 5,108 to follow. If exclusivity matters to you—or if you’re tired of seeing the same watch at every table in the Taproom—this is your detour into something rare.
Final Thought
The Horizon x Selten Nemo Reissue isn't a watch you buy—it’s a collaboration you experience. It’s the ease of a Miyota movement harnessed by artisanal dials, the diver’s durability fused with microbrand storytelling, the friendliness of 100 pieces reaching just enough wrists to matter. It’s everything we love in microbrand collaboration: passion, artistry, engineering, and most of all, character.
If you’re in the market for a watch that feels like it picked you, this one might just be calling your name.
