When we first set out to design the Sigma GMT Series, our vision was uncompromising: engineer a "true" flyer GMT with independent local hour jumping, wrap it in a 316L stainless steel case with a polished fluted bezel, and house a completely custom, matte granular textured dial under a flat sapphire crystal.
When you set out to build something at this level of specification as an independent microbrand, initial price projections are calculated using short-run, prototype-level manufacturing costs. Our early estimates pointed toward an $895 retail price point.
Today, as physical inventory sits directly on our quality-control desks at Octanis HQ, we have some incredible news to share regarding our final economics.
Passing Production Savings to the Community
As our full production run concluded and our direct-to-consumer logistics were finalized, our final cost-per-unit landed significantly lower than our early prototype models dictated.
In traditional retail, brands absorb those savings to inflate their profit margins. But Octanis was built on radical transparency and community trust.
Effective immediately, we are establishing the permanent retail price of the Sigma GMT Series at $749.
No inflated margins—just elite, independent horology delivered straight to your wrist at an unbeatable value.
Doing Right By Our Founding Backers
To our early supporters who backed the pre-sale at $795: we’ve got your back.
Your early trust is the cornerstone of Octanis. We refuse to let our earliest adopters pay a single dollar more than our permanent retail price.
We are proactively issuing a $46 partial refund directly back to the payment methods of all pre-sale customers. You don't need to fill out a form or open a support ticket—the credit is already on its way to your statement.
Immediate Dispatch Active
With physical inventory fully cleared and undergoing rigorous timing regulation at Octanis HQ, the wait is officially over.
Whether your horizon calls for the crisp contrast of Astronomical Twilight, the versatile depth of Civil Twilight, or the vibrant pop of Nautical Twilight, your Sigma GMT is ready for immediate quality control and global dispatch.
Thank you for backing an independent vision. We can't wait to see the Sigma on your wrist.
