Pre-Baselworld 2008 Announcement
Dear PuristS,
PuristSPro and St Gallen Horology Co are collaborating on a PuristSPro All-Black Rescue watch – a special, exclusive version of the St. Gallen PVD Disinfectable Rescue model.
(see review: CLICK HERE ).
Feedback from medical personnel and general public has been positive. PuristS’ physicians and world-renowned collectors have helped St Gallen design a useful and affordable SportS Watch and Tactical (SWaT) © timepiece. Our doctors “twisted some joints” and St Gallen agreed to make 178 pieces of the PuristSPro All-Black Rescue for the PuristS’ community.
PuristS can enjoy affordable watches with reliable ETA 2824-2 automatic movements -
"It's not all about tourbillons and minute repeaters!"
PuristS interested in getting one of these pieces for their collection or for a medical colleague, please note:
We will take pre-paid orders for the PuristSPro All-Black Rescue watch.
"Medical Rescue Kit"
Case holds watch, straps, buckle, cleaning tool and 316L "sterilisation hook"
(Regular Rescue watch for illustration only)
Here is a teaser dial drawing:

(The PuristSPro red strap is shown on a regular Rescue model)
Two colors of medical grade silicone straps will be provided as a set:
Regular Black and PuristSPro Red .
Silicone 'rubber' is a highly inert material and does not react with most chemicals.
Due to its inertness, it is used in many medical applications and in medical implants
i.e. Non-Allergenic.
It offers excellent resistance to extreme temperatures ( -55°C to +300°C).
Organic rubber is a C - C polymer, and thus susceptible to ozone, UV, heat and other aging factors, whereas silicone (polysiloxane) is a Si-O-Si polymer that withstands those well.
Please state your preferred strap circumference:
Short: 5.5 – 6.5 inches (14.0 – 16.5 cm)
Long: 6.5 – 7.5 inches (16.5 – 19.0 cm)
If in doubt, always go for a looser fit because rubber always pinches….trust me.
St Gallen can provide (at extra charge) additional non-disinfectable calf leather or galuchat (sting-ray) straps with common tang-buckles. It goes against the pure ideals of disinfection but we know that some people will ask..... 
Strap prices depends on demand.
Pricing favours the Early Bird:
US $998 for the first 78 “Early Bird” pre-paid orders.
US $1300 for the remaining 100 pieces.
Shipping / Insurance will be added (ex-Santa Monica, CA).
