@allan are you doing this on purpose ???? This is cruel!! The Colvert model is a stunner. [emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️ Hydra is nice too but I'd be worried to get tired of the colour too quickly. Too much of a novelty colour imho. I'll stick to my little Bastia in that CW.

That's what I think of the hydra too. I may get tired of it coz it's too "sweet". Enjoy your Cityback! Wear in good health! :)

It may have been black, or maybe a very, very dark brown. It was in a glass case, and to be honest, the lighting was pretty poor. Maybe it'd look better outside.

I saw the croc one in NYC too. I think it's the only croc Cityback that exists in the world. It was behind a glass case, and I'm 99% sure it was matte marine blue. So a very very dark blue, with lighter blue in lines between the scales. I loooove matte marine in exotic, really works well with the scales and I think overall the exotic cityback looked pretty amazing.

However price was like 60-80k USD. :/

I agree, I was offered the Hydra at first, but waaay too bright for everyday use. Colvert is nice, but I don't like the blue straps on my body. I chose Plomb, since it's not completely black, the stealthiest choice, the button and zipper really pop, and if you ever see Plomb in person... it dark grey but in light has this subtle hue of blue and I really like that.

Blue Hydra was actually the first color rolled out for the Cityback (I think in Evercolor and Epsom).
Then Black (Epsom only)
Then Plomb (Taurillion Bull)
Then Colvert (Evercolor)

Very Dark Blue sounds about right. I'm glad you liked it; this why there are different styles for different people. :smile:

I agree, the plomb cityback is amazing. That subtle blue is great; same reason I love things in Blue Obscur (esp. in Sombrero).

I know someone who was offered a croc Cityback here in Europe.

This FW17 it's going to be offered in 3 bicolor combos, and they're adding swift to the mix:

black/bleu indigo, epsom souple
bleu indigo/bordeaux, swift
vert titien/vert vertigo, evercolor

Can't wait, especially for the swift version.

Yes ... I think it's a very dark blue. And they have a croc Barda which is quite stunning as well.
