I have no idea where the Goliath comes from, and I have no idea either about when these pieces actually get or got on the market.

Yes, the colours are quite out of the ordinary, but the orange and blue actually match the Oceanografia logo colours, so it did make sense in that context. And even though they're certainly not the most inconspicuous watches, isn't that really the goal of most ROOs, particularly the LEs? I kind of like them, and I'm sure many will like them for their collectibility and/or rarity.

For those who want more details, the specs and more pictures are online on our site, but I don't think the rules here allow me to post the link. Someone else can probably do it.
