The reissue range brings back four fan favorites including the [Neptune](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mallet-london-1), [Hyperion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/templa-1), Astra, and Falcon, which will each offer a competitive price point ranging from $699 to $799, depending on the model. The Neptune, the 2019 diver that the LORIER reputation was built on, returns with a 39mm case with a black dial and gold-tone accents. The Hyperion adds a true flyer GMT movement for tracking a second time zone, while the Astra offers a slim, 36mm case for a dress option with a lumed dial. Rounding out the range, the Falcon delivers a legible field-watch design in the same compact case to fit most wrists comfortably. The LORIER Reissued Core Collection is available now.
