The excitement of the deep

In the realm of fine sports watches, some have been specially developed to accompany divers in their exploration of the silent world. Waterproof at great depths, they are equipped, among other things, with a screw-down crown and caseback and a unidirectional rotating bezel graduated over 60 minutes for calculating immersion times. On the dial side, their indexes and hands are luminescent, as is the case with the seconds hand, which fulfils the indispensable role of a running indicator allowing one to check at all times that the watch is functioning. All these technical attributes also sign the aesthetic personality of these emblematic instruments.
