BaselWorld 2014 : Linde Werdelin Oktopus MoonLite
Much like its namesake creature engraved on the backcase, the Linde Werdelin Oktopus is able to go down to great depths and adapt seamlessly to its environment.
With the Oktopus MoonLite, that idea is taken to the next level, as the colourless ALW* used for the case construction -while somewhat otherworldly and very industrial-looking at first glance- slightly reflects its immediate surroundings once you look a little closer.
What’s more, the Oktopus MoonLite is the lightest LW watch ever produced, weighing in at an impressive 62,5 grams total for case and movement.
Satin, polished and microbille finishing can be found on the ALW throughout.
Finally, the new signature white rubber strap is an added touch along with other small details, making this timepiece truly unique.

Gorgeous watch! I am liking this more & more.H
But I thought the lightest is Spidolite II tech green (33 grm)? Thanks Kong for the report.
Still it is ...
I get you, Rei ... LW may need to verify except something changed. Just check their website for specifications - their lightest is Spidolite II Tech Green. Thanks Rei for pointing out. Kong
Updated info ...
Hi Rei Asked LW and got a reply ... "The 33 gram Spidolite is actually just the weight of the case, while the MoonLite's weight includes the movement." So it seems like the MoonLite is the new record for LW. Kong
