This Unimatic timepiece was created in collaboration with Uncrate, the leading buyer’s guide for men and one of the largest men’s publications.
The Modello Tre chrono-diver U3-U captures the essence of the model with the bare minimum of ornamentation. The dial of the U3-U Chronodiver has been stripped of all excessive markers, with the indices represented by lume filled outlines and the matte aluminium bezel having just a single raised lume dot.
It remains a fully-functional two-complication chronograph, with a Meca-quartz Seiko VK64 movement that combines the accuracy of quartz with the crisp feel and performance of a mechanical chronograph; and a thick double domed sapphire lens. The case is sand-blasted PVD gunmetal grey, a case treatment that’s a first for Unimatic.
The watch is fitted with a storm gray TPU two-piece strap and a black heavy-duty Unimatic nylon NATO strap, both with sandblasted gunmetal PVD finish hardware, accompanied by a tough case that holds both this watch and another, and a Unimatic x Uncrate warranty card for the two-year worldwide warranty.
This timepiece is limited to just 100 examples worldwide. The UNIMATIC x UNCRATE Modello Tre U3-U is available exclusive at http://www.uncrate.com and http://www.unimaticwatches.com with a retail price of 650 EUR excluding VAT.

A limited edition of 100 pieces, the ref.U1-GM diver watch is born from the collaboration between Unimatic and Grimoldi Milano. It’s the first Unimatic ‘Destro’ left-hand watch.
Reflecting the visual codes associated with the marine world, orange was chosen for both the dial and the TPU strap, for an optimal readability and great visibility even underwater.
The U1-GM embodies the essence of the professional diving watch of that era, the clean lines of the Modello Uno are a tribute to the historic Grimoldi store in Portofino, underlining the prestige of Made in Italy and highlighting the Italian cultural heritage.
Grimoldi Milano is a family-run business since 1960’s located under the arcades on Piazza Duomo in Milan. It has always been a symbol of the Italian artisanal production of watches and jewels.
Carrying on the tradition, Grimoldi is continuing to invest in the search of innovative shapes and original designs. It is one of the first Unimatic retail partners worldwide.
Modello Uno ref. U1-GM is the Made in Italy professional diving watch. It features an International orange dive dial with markers in Super-LumiNova® BGW9 white lume matching the lumed dot on the matte gray aluminium professional diver insert and a cool gray open second rail and dial trims.
Time is indicated thanks to the matte black phantom ladder hands set and the black reverse lollipop second hand with white tip. The double domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal provides the best performance in every light condition.
The solid 316 brushed stainless steel case, the screwed in 2mm thick caseback, the 8mm diameter crown together with the high quality gaskets set provide a water resistance tested individually to 30 atm (300m/1000ft).
This timepiece is driven by the NH35A automatic movement. Its beats at 21,600 b.p.h and provides 41h power reserve.
The watch comes on an International orange TPU two piece strap, an extra black Unimatic nylon Nato strap with stainless steel brushed hardware signed Unimatic. The caseback features the Unimatic x Grimoldi engraving and the individual progressive number.
The UNIMATIC x GRIMOLDI Modello Uno U1-GM is available exclusive at http://www.unimaticwatches.com and Grimoldi stores with a retail price of 650 EUR excluding VAT.
Seiko Watch of America has recently announced two amazing U.S. special edition Prospex professional diving watches with eye-catching dials highlighting the ancient “Seigaiha” pattern.
Exclusively available in the U.S. market, these diving watches from the Prospex collection combine the finest dive watch technology with centuries of tradition and craftsmanship.
Seigaiha is an ancient Japanese decorative motif in which layered concentric circles form an arched wave pattern. The two new watches, with their Seigaiha-patterned dials in vivid blue (SLA053) or deep burgundy (SLA059), add another rich element of symbolism in evoking the role of the moon in both the Shinto and Zen Buddhist traditions. The blue represents the ocean waves under moonlight and the burgundy, the first rays of sun brightening the dark seas at dawn.
Seiko Prospex Seigaiha U.S. Limited Edition, reference SLA053
These watches house Seiko’s proprietary 8L35 movement. The 26-jewel automatic 8L35, beating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, provides a power reserve of approximately 50 hours and boasts manual winding capability.
Each Seigaiha U.S. Special Edition is crafted to perform flawlessly in the roughest seas. The monobloc stainless steel case ensures water resistance to a depth of 300 meters, following ISO standards for saturation diving. The black ceramic unidirectional elapsed timing bezels and screw-down crowns provide added security on deep dives, while LumiBrite coated hands, markers, bezel accents, and anti-reflective sapphire crystals enhance legibility.
The blue dial version, with black hard-coated case and black silicone strap, will be available only in a controlled-production run of 500, with the serial number engraved on each caseback, while the burgundy dial variation features a super-hard coated stainless steel bracelet with tri-fold push-button release clasp and slide adjuster, as well as an additional black silicone strap.
Both timepieces will be packaged in special collectors’ boxes, including a unique explanatory scroll and the unique gift of coordinating Seigaiha-pattern cufflinks.
The Seiko Prospex “Seigaiha” Limited Edition SLA053 ($3,200, limited edition of 500) is available from August 2021, with Special Edition SLA059 ($3,300) following in November 2021, both exclusively in the U.S. market.

Pforzheim based watch brand Circula presents its latest timepiece, the SuperSport Automatic.
Founded in 1955, German watch brand Circula stands for high-quality mechanical watches with an authentic retro design. The new Circula SuperSport is a Super- Compressor diving watch, which were first launched in the 1950s.
The SuperSport is not just a Super-Compressor-style watch (i.e., two crowns and an inner rotating bezel), but also includes a real compressor-function. Thus, the case back is compressed by water pressure for better sealing.
As a genuine Super-Compressor, the SuperSport is based on models from the middle of the last century, modernized with today’s sporty elements.
The case has a diameter of 40 millimeters and a water resistance of 300 meters. Sapphire crystal guarantees a scratch-free view onto the dial, which is equipped with Swiss Super-LumiNova® C3 X1 and built in a sandwich construction. Thus, the indexes are lowered into the dial.
The inner rotating bezel and also the crown are filled with Swiss Super- LumiNova® C3. High-quality mechanical movements with automatic winding from Sellita in Switzerland are responsible for the precise time display, optionally available in ‘Top’ grade version with an extra hard Glucydur balance wheel for particularly high precision.
The pre-order phase has now started and offers the opportunity to purchase the new SuperSport for EUR 699 (incl. VAT) / USD ~699 (excl. VAT) in the brand’s online shop by October 15th, including two straps, an H-Link steel bracelet and a Tropical rubber strap as well as free worldwide shipping. From mid-October it will cost € 100 more.
Delivery will start mid-December 2021.

Audemars Piguet has announced a new 42 mm Royal Oak Offshore Diver limited to 300 pieces. Similarly to the three Diver models released earlier this year, this limited edition is powered by the Manufacture’s latest self-winding movement, Calibre 4308.
The Royal Oak Offshore Diver Limited Edition sports the Manufacture’s latest Diver movement and interchangeable strap system. Its two-tone case blending white gold and black ceramics is enriched with a black “Méga Tapisserie” dial highlighted with white gold and beige accents.
The Royal Oak Offshore Diver limited edition is powered by the Manufacture’s latest automatic movement with second and instant-jump date indication. Calibre 4308 is equipped with a patented setting mechanism that brings stability and precision when adjusting the watch’s function.
Its diving scale featured on the dial’s inner rotating ring is activated with a unidirectional click mechanism linked to the 10 o’clock crown. The watch’s sapphire caseback reveals Calibre 4308’s refined finishing techniques, such as “Côtes de Genève,” “traits tirés” and circular graining, as well as the new collection’s dedicated oscillating weight in blackened 22-carat pink gold.
The Royal Oak Offshore Diver is fit for underwater exploration up to a depth of 300 metres as well as for any above-ground outdoors adventures. Thanks to its 60 hours of power reserve, the watch can easily adapt to a few days rest between expeditions.
The limited edition boasts an18-carat white gold case enhanced with a black ceramic bezel and matching crowns at 3 and 10 o’clock. The sapphire and white gold caseback is engraved with “Royal Oak Offshore Limited Edition of 300 Pieces.”
Hand-finished with an alternation of satin-brushed and polished surfaces, the case offers a refined frame to the black “Méga Tapisserie” dial adorned with 18-carat white gold hour-markers and hands. The black rotating diving scale ringis complemented with a beige 15-minute zone as well as beige Arabic numerals for a powerful contrast.
The Royal Oak Offshore Diver limited edition presents new facetted hour-markers, cut in two distinct sizes for augmented legibility. Long hour-markers indicate the quarter hours (to the exception of the 15-minute mark replaced by the date window), while shorter square hour-markers are used to mark out the 5-minute increments.
The luminescent coating on the white gold hour-markers and Royal Oak hands grant optimum visibility in the dark. The larger applied gold AP initials at 12 o’clock replace the traditional long-form signature for a sportive look down to the last detail.
Following in the footstep of the new Royal Oak Offshore Diver models released in the spring, this limited sports watch is fitted with the Manufacture’s new interchangeable strap system. The interchangeability has been directly integrated into the buckle and case’s studs, in perfect harmony with the case’s aesthetic codes.
The ease and efficiency will allow clients to change the bracelets and buckles of their new timepiece themselves with a quick click and release. The double-push system grants optimum security when the watch is worn on the wrist. The watch is fitted on a black interchangeable rubber strap, fit for the wildest outdoors adventures, while its second beige interchangeable calfskin strap will add a laid-back, yet refined look.
The 2021 assortment for the Royal Oak Offshore Diver collection also includes rubber straps in khaki, blue and grey shades, as well as two other calfskin leather straps in brown and black for more adventures on dry land.
Initially, this Royal Oak Offshore Diver Limited Edition will be sold exclusively in Japan during September 2021, before being available globally from October 2021.

The Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic watch is the result of many years of research and development together with the history and tradition of the Rado Captain Cook.
This new diving timepiece features some of the brand’s most stellar achievements such as Rado’s innovative high-tech ceramic monobloc case construction, scratch-resistant and hypoallergenic high-tech ceramic. It is powered by the premium Rado calibre R734 featuring a Nivachron™ hairspring, renowned for its antimagnetic properties.
The Captain Cook Ceramic is presented for the first time in a case size of 43mm, and in four versions. All of them have 30 bar (300m) water resistance.
A first version in black high-tech ceramic case and bracelet with a hardened stainless steel turning bezel and black high-tech ceramic insert.
A second model holds this same case and dial but is offered with a rubber strap for those who prefer a more casual look.
A third version is offered similarly in black high-tech ceramic case and bracelet but with contrasting rose gold coloured PVD coated stainless steel turning bezel, and black high-tech ceramic insert.
Followed by the fourth model, a highly distinct plasma high-tech ceramic case and bracelet, with hardened stainless steel bezel, and blue high-tech ceramic insert.
All the references are powered by the Rado self-winding calibre R734, which offers an impressive 80 hours power reserve.
The dial and case back are stunningly crafted in black tinted sapphire crystal allowing its wearer to explore and admire the inner workings of the skeletonised movement in a subtle manner, whilst still proving to be legible.
As the triangle on the bezel, the indexes, and the classic Captain Cook chunky arrow hands on the dial are filled with white Super-LumiNova® providing clear visibility in the dark. This magnificent sapphire dial is also home to the iconic Rado rotating anchor at 12 o’clock, and is protected by a chevé box sapphire crystal.

Following the launch of the new TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 seriesduring Watches and Wonders Geneva in April, TAG Heuer has released three references, including a new iteration of a TAG Heuer icon, the all-black, lume-dialled TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Night Diver.
These three TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 models take the collection to 11 references. All three new models are non-limited and go into the core collection, each with a 43 mm stainless steel case and rubber strap equipped with TAG Heuer’s innovative adjustable folding clasp.
The new black and blue versions pick up on the bracelet models introduced at Watches and Wonders: both are colour-themed with matching black or blue dials, ceramic bezel inserts and rubber straps.
The standout model of the release is the black DLC-coated Night Diver. Its stainless-steel case, bezel, crown, caseback and clasp are all coated in matt black diamond-like carbon, known as DLC, a high- performance, hard-wearing finish designed for use in extreme conditions. The bezel insert is highly resistant black ceramic.
The TAG Heuer “Night Diver” was first introduced in the mid- 1980s. Loved by active, style-conscious watch buyers who push their limits, it became one of the most celebrated sports watches of its era.
TAG Heuer has created a faithful update to this much-loved watch, retaining and improving signature details such as the famous 12-sided bezel and the dial’s horizontal engraved lines to produce a refined, highly versatile modern classic.
The Night Diver’s other signature feature is its fully luminescent dial, which is coated in green Super- LumiNova® to deliver exceptional glow-in-the-dark performance. To ensure ultimate legibility in extreme low-light conditions, the watch’s minute and central seconds hands are filled with blue lume to contrast with the green of the dial.
The hour hand and octagonal hour markers at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock are filled with green lume, and the remaining octagonal hour markers are all edged with black lacquer. The triangle on the unidirectional rotating bezel at 12, which is crucial to accurately and safely measure dive times, is also filled with striking blue lume to match the blue of the minute and central seconds hands.
Each of the new TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 references comes with a beautifully engineered integrated rubber strap equipped with TAG Heuer’s newly developed adjustable clasp system.
These straps will be cut to length as part of a fitting process at a TAG Heuer boutique or by an authorised dealer. The wearer will then have the freedom to adjust their strap to accommodate a wetsuit, or simply to reflect changes in ambient conditions that make the wrist expand or contract.
The fine-tuning system developed by TAG Heuer allows this adjustment can be made to extremely small tolerances. This is done by pinching and sliding the button on the side of the clasp.
The clasp also features double safety push-buttons that prevent it from being unlocked by accident. It’s this level of utility that underscores the Aquaracer Professional 300 series’ ultimate luxury tool watch status.
As with the eight pieces in the launch collection, the three new references pick up on the six signature features that have defined TAG Heuer dive watches since 1983: a unidirectional rotating bezel, a screw-down crown, water resistance to at least 200 metres, luminous markings, a scratch-resistant crystal and a double safety clasp.
The form carries a number of further details that enhance its luxury feel and performance. The 12 sides of the bezel are all faceted for grip, the crown is protected to prevent accidental damage and there’s a magnifying glass over the date, which is integrated into the underside of the sapphire crystal, making it smooth to the touch.
The dial with its trademark horizontally engraved lines have also been refined for the new generation of watches and are now set slightly further apart than in previous Aquaracer iterations, giving the watches their elegant, sophisticated look.
As with the launch collection, the three new TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 references are powered by TAG Heuer’s Calibre 5 automatic movement. They all have solid casebacks stamped with the famous scaphander diving suit, complete with a 12-sided faceplate. All TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 models are water-resistant to 300 metres (30 bar, 1,000 feet).
In April, TAG Heuer also introduced a highly collectible limited-edition version of the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 at launch to both complement the core collection and salute the design’s wonderful heritage. It’s called the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Tribute to Ref. 844.
This timepiece is inspired by the fabled Ref. 844 divers’ watch introduced in 1978. Only 844 examples of the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Tribute to Ref. 844 will be made and launched in September 2021.

Honouring its contributions towards the protection of environment, independent climate action experts ClimatePartner has recently certified Swiss watch brand Oris as climate neutral.
To mark the start of this new chapter, the independent Swiss company is introducing the Aquis Date Upcycle, a version of Oris’ high-performance diver’s watch with a colourful dial made of recycled PET plastic.
Oris, together with its global network of partners and suppliers, has been taking part in World Cleanup Day for a number of years. Its new partner #tide has produced special Oris ’Cleanup Bags’ made from recycled ocean plastic for supporting the Swiss brand’s clean-up missions across the world.
#tide is a specialist plastic recycling company based in Switzerland that uses an innovative production method to turn 100 per cent ocean-bound plastic into a new premium raw material.
#tide is committed to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and has saved 15 million PET plastic bottles from entering the ocean. Its recycling processes save 52 per cent of the energy used in creating virgin plastics, and its production methods cause 79 per cent less greenhouse gas emissions.
The Aquis Date Upcycle is available with either a 41.5 mm or 36.5 mm case, both with recycled ocean-plastic dials. Each watch will be unique because the plastic recycling process produces random patterns, meaning no two dials will be the same.
Beyond the dial, the watches share their architecture with the popular Aquis Date 41.5 mm and 36.5 mm models. Both have a stainless steel case and a unidirectional rotating diver’s bezel with a scratch-resistant grey ceramic insert.
They also have a stainless steel bracelet with a clasp extension system, crown protectors, a screw-down crown and a Swiss Made automatic mechanical movement. Every watch comes in a grey presentation box made from sustainable and recyclable paper.

Andermsann’s new chronograph watch blends the lightness of titanium with the rigidity of diamond like carbon coating. Dressed in massive case measuring 44m diameter and 16.5mm thickness, it is also capable of diving into the ocean depths. Despite its bold size, this diving chronograph weighs 135g only.
Presently the brand is offering several Andermsann Chrono DLC 300m versions. Each of them can be distinguished by the color of hands and details.
The watch case is made of multi-layer Grade 2 Titanium, while the middle layer of the case is DLC titanium. Powering this exceptional tool watch is the ETA A07.211 movement, a Swiss Made self-winding chronograph calibre renowned for its reliability and chronometric performance.
Driven by an open-worked oscillating weight with ‘ANDERSMANN’ inscription, this self-winding movement has a power reserve of 46 hours.
The ANDERSMANN Chronograph has a water-resistance of 30 ATM (300 meters), making it suitable for diving activities as well as nautical sports events.
The watch is topped with a 3.8mm thick double curved sapphire crystal glass with AR coating for ensuring crystal clear view of the dial. Secured with a 1.7mm grey colored tinted sapphire crystal glass, the watch case back offers the view of self-winding chronograph movement.
Black in colour, its sandwich-style dial shows up grained textures on the surface. It hosts three sub dials: 12-H chronograph counter at 6 o’ clock, 30 minute chronograph counter at 12H and small seconds dial at 9 o’ clock.
The hour and minute hands as well as hour-markers are embedded with luminescent coating. The watch also has a discreet date window at 3 o’ clock and a tachymeter scale around the dial.
Depending upon the variant, the color of chronograph hands and the small seconds hand varies. The color of inscriptions TACHYMETER and 300M also changes according to the version.
Each Chrono DLC 300m watch by ANDERSMANN is provided with a FKM rubber strap. The retail price of Chrono DLC 300m is approximately US$ 1,680.

LOCMAN MARE 300 METRI is an automatic diving watch inspired by the Italian watch brand’s connection to the Maritime world.
MARE is Italian for sea and the MARE 300 METRI watch represents the brand’s sporty, aquatic spirit. The three-hand timepiece from the Tuscan watchmaker, whose headquarters overlook the port of Marina di Campo – one of the most famous resorts on the island of Elba – represents an important milestone for LOCMAN’s divers’ watches.
Water- resistant to 300 metres, this timepiece features a titanium case back secured by four screws, with a visible movement and a crystal with sapphire treatment for increased robustness and transparency. It’s a combination made possible by superior engineering that guarantees the watch’s elevated performance.
With a 44 mm AISI 316L steel shaped case and screw-down crown, reminiscent of classic diving models thanks to its unidirectional rotating bezel, the watch boasts a strong personality and typical Locman design. The Italian flag, positioned at 6 o’clock, provides continuity and reaffirms the brand’s strong identity.
The Mare collection is available in four versions whose colours recall those of the oceans. Three steel watches feature ombré dials that echo the shades of water, with full colour giving way – at 6 o’clock – to lighter shades. Black becomes anthracite grey, deep blue fades into a more transparent shade and bright green softens into a light green. The steel model with a Rose Gold PVD coating, however, presents a solid black dial.
The self-winding Mare 300 Metri has a stainless steel bracelet. It’s an extremely technical bracelet, perfectly integrated with the case, which enhances the watch’s sporty feel as well as its diving concept. The timepiece is also available with a vegetable-tinted silicone strap.
Stylish above and below the water, the sporty Tissot Seastar 1000 Quartz Chrono comes with a plethora of useful functions. With a host of useful features, it is already an essential in the water, thanks to its ability to handle pressure up to 30 bar (1000ft) and its accessible quartz movement which promises unfailing reliability.
The impressive qualities of the Tissot Seastar 1000 Quartz Chrono reflected in the design itself. Luminescent hands make for easy readability while the minutes until 20 are marked on the face, when it subsequently becomes every five minutes, in a scale that is typical and helpful for divers. A screwed down case and crown prevent the watch becoming damaged.
A subtle sea horse engraved on the back case hints at the watch’s capability to undertake underwater adventures, as the face itself is a deep blue hue, reflecting the ocean’s mysterious depths.

Sporting a distinctive Khaki Green dial, the ZRC Grands Fonds Militaria watch pays tribute to the heroes of the Second World War.
Introduced in 2020, this timepiece takes us to 6th June 1944 that marked D-Day. Amongst the allied forces that landed on the coast of Normandy, some 150,000 soldiers from the US Army were deployed throughout the land to help liberate France and bring the Second World War to an end, which actually happened nearly a year later.
These courageous men who had come to defend Europe during this immense conflict were equipped with full military gear which was easily-recognizable thanks to its khaki green colour decorated with highly-specific, perfectly-identifiable white typography. The font Stencil USA, created using stencilled design, thus its name, now features on the dial of ZRC’s GF300 Militaria watch.
The legendary Grands Fonds 300 watch was developed by ZRC back in 1958 after having submitted and won a tender launched by the French National Navy. It became the official Navy watch in 1964. This sturdy timekeeper was equipped with state-of-the-art technical features such as waterproofness to depths of 300 m, a crown set at 6 o’clock equipped with the Crown Protection SystemTM and ECS-patented bezel which eliminates risk of pollution and corrosion.
To pay tribute to the heroes who had come from a nation on the other side of the Atlantic to free a whole continent and to honour a key chapter in the History of Humankind, this new Grands Fonds 300 watch boasts a military green dial, vibrant khaki set off by white-dressed hour markers and punctuated with central dots for this Militaria version.
The four Arabic numerals set on the cardinal points, and complemented by arrowed indexes, reiterate the US Army’s traditional Stencil USA font.
This décor, resolutely inspired by soldiers’ uniforms, is hovered over by a pair of Super- LumiNova® X1-coated magnum-style hands which indicate the hours and minutes. This powerful luminescent substance also enhances the dot of the “lollipop”-style central direct-drive and the markers etched on the matt-black DLC bezel. A bezel which, like on all ZRC watches, rotates and is equipped with ECSTM (Easy Clean System).
The 40.5 mm-diameter mono-block case crafted in non-magnetic 316L steel hosts the ETA 2824-2 calibre, a reputed, Swiss-made self-winding mechanical movement, beating at a standard frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and delivering a power reserve of 38 hours.
The ZRC Grands Fonds 300 Militaria is complemented by a solid khaki-coloured rubber strap which matches the dial. The strap is attached to the wrist by a sandblasted ardillon buckle.

The Archimèdes by Milus Orange Coral is a Swiss made diving watch created to support the activities of Coral Guardian association in protecting endangered corals. This timepiece takes inspiration from the Milus diving watches produced in the 60s and 70s.
Only 50 numbered units of this Archimèdes by Milus Orange Coral are available. For each watch, the brand donates an amount to save a coral which is adopted and named after the customer. Each wearer of the Archimèdes by Milus Orange Coral watch receives a personal certificate, issued by the Coral Guardian association.
This non-profit organization, which brings together scientists and defenders of marine organisms, has developed a coral re-transplantation program. In order to fight against their extinction, it gradually reconstitutes, internationally and with the involvement of local communities, coral ecosystems in less threatened areas.
The Archimèdes by Milus Orange Coral watch is powered by the ETA 2892-A2 self-winding movement.
Its indexes, which are in Arabic numerals at the cardinal points except for the “3” which has been turned into a date window, and its “broad arrow” hour hand, are all covered with Super-LumiNova for hyper legibility.
They add to the vintage look that is underlined by the reassuring curved glass. As for its bidirectional inner rotating bezel, it slides along its 60-minute diving scale, guaranteeing under all circumstances optimal safety and precision in timing.
Embodying the historic model born in 1960 and revisited in 1970, Archimèdes by Milus Orange Coral is a reliable automatic diver’s watch.
It is equipped with a discreet helium valve located at 9 o’clock. It offers water-resistance up to 300 meters below sea level. Its second crown, located at 2:30 am, activates the rotating inner bezel.
It was in the 1950s, when the Swiss watch case manufacturer Ervin Piquerez (EPSA) patented a case with an innovative system: to become more and more waterproof as the watch goes deeper and deeper and as the atmospheric pressure increases (progressive compression of the gasket until it becomes completely sealed). From this historic case, which still inspires the passion of collectors around the world, the Milus brand created in 1960 the model Archimèdes 666, then, ten years later, the Super Compressor.
The Archimèdes by Milus Orange Coral watch is available with a rubber strap with openwork stitches and a Milanese mesh bracelet.

Bell & Ross presents a new utilitarian diving watch perfectly suitable for professional use, the BR 03-92 DIVER MILITARY.
With its olive drab tone, the BR 03-92 DIVER MILITARY mirrors the color of the military uniform. Staying faithful to the military technical specifications, the olive drab dial is perfectly readable both day and night thanks to a photo luminescent coating that allows immediate reading of the time. While the sapphire crystal is scratch-resistant and the movement is highly-precise, the sober design is equipped with a black matte ceramic case.
Made entirely from ceramic, the BR 03-92 DIVER MILITARY is lightweight and resistant to scratches. Reminiscent of the anti-reflective finish used on aircraft instrument panels, this new model is perfectly in tune with the aeronautical codes so crucial to the Bell & Ross philosophy. By releasing a high-tech material in the professional underwater instruments, Bell & Ross has created a new must-have tool and reinterprets the original values of the iconic BR 01.
Military watches are the finest examples of the successful combination of readability and functionality. They are capable of effectively assisting divers under all circumstances and meet the specific demands of professionals on their mission.
Water resistant to 300 meters, the watch is armored with a steel interior and ceramic exterior case to withstand the rigors of underwater exploration. The case is reinforced with a very thick back, once again guaranteeing extreme water resistance. A further guarantee of flawless water resistance, the sapphire crystal with antireflective coating is an impressive 2.85 mm thick, compared to the 1.50 mm on the classic BR03-92.
Screwed down to withstand the pressure at great depths, the crown of the BR 03-92 DIVER MILITARY is equipped with a guard that guarantees complete protection against impacts and optimal water resistance. The carefully designed crown is also fitted with a rubber insert for improved ergonomics.
With its sophisticated design and uncompromised functionality, the BR 03-92 DIVER MILITARY feature time indications that must be readable at 25 cm in the dark with luminescent markers, according to the standards.
The olive drab dial features indices in skeletonized metal applique filled with green Super-LumiNova® C3 for enhanced legibility. The hour and minute hands contain green Super- LumiNova® C3, allowing them to be visible at a glance; the minute hand is also used to calculate the dive time. Finally, the second hand is also filled with green Super-LmiNova® C3 to provide an ultra-legible indication that the watch is running smoothly, even underwater.
At daytime, the time indicators bear a pale almond color which will fully turn into a phosphorescent green when reaching depth and darkness. Thanks to this most resistant, intense, and innovative variant, the black contour of the indices and hands contrast perfectly to obtain optimum legibility.
The BR 03-92 DIVER MILITARY is a professional diving instrument, driven by a Swiss self-winding mechanical movement with proven robustness and accuracy.
With ergonomics perfectly designed for underwater use, the iconic Bell & Ross square case is equipped with a 60-minute calibrated unidirectional rotating bezel. The case of the BR 03-92 DIVER MILITARY is also equipped with a soft iron cage to increase its resistance to magnetic fields.
The technical and functional features of this diving watch echo a set of military specifications and meet the requirements defined by international standard ISO 6425. Considered as essential qualities, the BR 03-92 DIVER MILITARY satisfies three fundamental principles: water-resistance, legibility and reliability.
The BR03-92 DIVER MILITARY comes in a water-resistant PELICAN® box, and with two straps: the first one is made from woven black rubber with a PVD coated stainless steel pin buckle. The second is using an ultra-resilient olive drab synthetic fabric, allowing the watch to be quickly and ergonomically adjusted over the suit thanks to a Velcro closure system. Both have been designed for professional underwater use and their style instantly evokes the ocean depths.
This new model is limited to 999 pieces.

Linde Werdelin expands the brand’s Nord collection by presenting the Oktopus Nord and the SpidoLite Nord.
Both watches are inspired by the dark blue changing colours of the North Sea’s deep waters. The black/blue fumé dials on these two mirror image pieces feature varied gradations of blue and black.
The dial is surrounded by a sandblasted, highly anti corrosive, titanium grade-2 case. Each piece can be paired with a range of straps, including the brand’s natural rubber strap, all now consisting of 30% recycled rubber and representing the brand’s continuous move towards using the most sustainable materials.

A highly technical watch made for diving and continuously tested by Linde Werdelin’s divers it is able to submerge to great depths and resist any corrosion normally associated with submersion in salt water.
The case construction is inspired by diving bells. A central piece containing the movement symbolises protection of life while the outer case parts serves functionality with strap.
A two layer dial comprises an upper layer dial laser-cut in stencil technique with both layers individually handcrafted to create the gradations in blue and black. The hands are in stainless steel with satin finish and ultramarine luminova.
The Oktopus Nord is a limited edition of 88 numbered pieces.
Linde Werdelin SpidoLite Nord
The SpidoLite family is focused on extreme weight-reduction invented in 2008 and inspired by an expedition to Mount Everest in 2007. The family is designed to balance strength with lightness and optimise performance, particularly in high altitude pursuits.
The SpidoLite Nord is powered by a customised movement developed with Concepto. It includes ceramic bearings as well as a strengthened balance wheel to maximise reliability.
It is entirely crafted in titanium grade 2, with a sandblasted finish on the case, and constructed of 19 components. It features a two-part skeletonised Nord fume dial and see-through sapphire crystal backcase.
The SpidoLite Nord is a limited edition of 75 numbered pieces.

Swiss luxury watch brand Maurice Lacroix expands its AIKON Venturer series with its 38 mm version in white. The strap, dial and bezel all feature a new shade and details that undeniably make it per fect for women. The design and strong AIKON Venturer is a watch made for urban adventurers.
Fully equipped for all adventurous women in everyday life, the original AIKON design evolves towards a feminine vision. As proof of its ability to adapt and push boundaries, the AIKON Venturer is designed in white. The AIKON Venturer 38 mm is a reinterpretation of the AIKON Venturer 43 mm launched in 2019.
Still crafted entirely from steel, the surfaces of the 38 mm diameter case are satin-finished, while its edges are polished. The bezel’s six arms – a powerful, characteristic AIKON feature – have been given a functional role. They extend beyond the white ceramic bezel so that it can be easily grasped and rotated in one direction.
The AIKON Venturer 38 mm is water-resistant to 300 meters, a feature which makes it a genuine tool watch. Its screwed case back features a “Vagues du Jura” motif surrounding the engraved “M” logo in the centre, demonstrating the high standard of finishes given to the Venturer.
For the first time, the AIKON Venturer features white. The lacquered dial is punctuated by 8 rhodium-finished hour-markers and set with diamonds to further enhance its radiance and purity. These feminine codes can also be found in the white rubber strap.
Thanks to the EasyChange system, the steel attachment of the AIKON collection with 5 satin-finished links can be easily fitted on the AIKON Venturer 38 mm.
Once again Maurice Lacroix’s style vocabulary shows its full range and versatility. Just as the AIKON Automatic 42 mm evolved into the 35 mm versions, the AIKON Venturer follows a similar trajectory, adapting to specific wearing possibilities and feminine taste. But the original spirit of this family of sporty and chic watches, based on a strong aesthetic statement remains intact.
As further evidence of this commitment to AIKON codes, the AIKON Venturer 38 mm is equipped with a self-winding movement that displays hours, minutes, seconds and date.
Swiss luxury watch brand Ulysse Nardin celebrates this summer season with three new additions to its Diver collection. The three new models are: The Diver 42mm Grey and Rose Gold, the 39mm Lady Diver Rose Gold and the Diver Chronometer 44mm.
Additions to an already illustrious family, the Summer 2021 Diver Collection completes the line, which comprises 38 references. All timepieces are made by hand at the manufacture in Le Locle, Switzerland where Ulysse Nardin has been located since its founding in 1846.
Ulysse Nardin Chronometer 44 mm
The Ulysse Nardin Chronometer 44 mm features deep-sea blue color and rose gold details. It is equipped with the UN-118 Manufacture Automatic movement. With an escapement wheel and anchor in Diamonsil, this self-winding calibre ensures precise performance. The open sapphire case back showcases the balance spring in silicium along with the other parts made in- house to create this technical marvel.
The Diver 42 mm Grey and Rose Gold highlights a contemporary design. It comes with a stainless, “shark gray” PVD satin finish and polished case, a rose gold 5N and gray rubberized, unidirectional rotating, concave bezel and a domed sapphire glass. The gray alligator strap of this dashing timepiece is secured with a stainless steel gray PVD buckle.
The 39 mm Lady Diver Rose Gold model is set with 40 diamonds for a total of 0.80 carats. It incorporates all the hallmarks of a classic Ulysse Nardin Diver. The mother of pearl dial bears 11 diamonds totalling 0.12 carats and the white alligator strap is held in place by a 5N rose gold buckle.
Both the Diver 42 mm Grey and Rose Gold and the 39 mm Lady Diver Rose Gold models are equipped with the powerful UN-816 movement, an automatic movement that functions at 4 Hz and 28,800V/H.
All the three timepieces have been crafted to withstand up to 300 meters of water pressure.

Blancpain, who has been supporting the Monaco Association against Muscular Dystrophy since its creation in 2001, renews its participation to the charity auction Only Watch. The Maison has chosen to dedicate a one-of-a-kind, Tribute to Fifty Fathoms No Rad model, to this noble cause.
This exclusive timepiece inspired by an iconic Blancpain historical timing instrument joins the ranks of the rare and highly prized “No Rad” collector’s items, coveted by watch enthusiasts. This unique iteration will be awarded to the highest bidder, in Geneva, on November 6th 2021.
The Tribute to Fifty Fathoms No Rad watch revisits a Blancpain diving instrument from the mid-60s, which was notably used by the German Navy’s Combat Swimmers. The latter has the characteristic feature of a stamp on the dial with a “no radiations” logo indicating that Blancpain did not use luminescent materials composed of radium – a highly radioactive element declared harmful to health. This distinctive symbol has forged the success of this timepiece, which has become one of the most sought-after Fifty Fathoms watches among collectors.
The Tribute to Fifty Fathoms No Rad model created for Only Watch is characterised by a matt black dial punctuated by the traditional geometrical hour-markers combining round dots, rectangles and a diamond-shaped mark at 12 o’clock. The chapter ring, the hands and the time scale on the bezel all feature orange-coloured Super-LumiNova®. Bespoke to this special piece, this acidulous shade refers to the colour representing the 2021 edition of Only Watch.
The dominant element on the dial remains the “no radiations” logo, whose original yellow and red colours have been replaced by orange and yellow, respectively. The unidirectional rotating bezel, featuring a graduation typical of the initial Fifty Fathoms models, is fitted with a sapphire insert, a distinctive feature of the contemporary collection. Its domed profile contributes to the depth effect of the watch face, already enhanced by the use of a glassbox-type sapphire crystal.
Water-resistant to 30 bar (approx. 300 metres), the steel case measures 40.3 mm, a diameter exclusive to limited-edition Fifty Fathoms watches. It houses Blancpain Calibre 1154, a finely finished self-winding movement equipped with a silicon balance spring and endowed with a four-day power reserve.
Its two barrels wind by means of a rotor in solid gold bearing a special “Only Watch” inscription. A black NAC coating and a cartouche-shaped aperture, a detail observed on some of the historic timepieces in the collection, including the very first Fifty Fathoms, also distinguish this horological offering.
This now atypical attribute formerly was in place to increase the suppleness of the oscillating weight in order to safeguard the movement in the event of impacts. The watch comes with a strap in “Tropic”-type rubber, a material very popular with divers in bygone days because of its durability and wearer comfort.

In keeping with the Swiss watch manufacturer’s devotion to shark conservation around the world, Ulysse Nardin has launched the DIVER Lemon Shark Limited Edition, a shark-themed of the DIVER 42 mm watch.
To celebrate the launch of the DIVER Lemon Shark on World Ocean Day, Ulysse Nardin has teamed up with world-renown shark experts dedicated to the study of marine life and ocean conservation by bringing together two outstanding organizations: OCEARCH and the FIU Medina Aquarius Program in the Florida International University Institute of Environment.
At the heart of Florida International University (FIU)’s Medina Aquarius Program is the Aquarius Reef Base. The world’s only underwater research and education laboratory, Aquarius is deployed 60 feet beneath the surface of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.Photographer Fred Buyle – a friend of Ulysse Nardin and fearless deep-sea diver based in the Azores–contributes his craft to the bio-tagging of lemon sharks in a quest to better understand these gentle members of the Carcharhinid family.
Based mainly in Florida, lemon sharks are carnivores that feed on fish and crustaceans. They tend to be able sneak upon their prey as they are easily camouflaged thanks to their yellow color, which matches that of the sandy ocean floors they inhabit.
The DIVER Lemon Shark features a black dial with a yellow lemon shark ‘signature’, a stamp of three lemon sharks on the back and a black R-STRAP made from recycled fishing nets.
The touches of yellow on the bezel, dial, crown and band pay homage to the lemon shark, recalling the color of its skin and its connection to the ocean floor. The concave bezel with a domed sapphire glass creates a sleek look.
The DIVER Lemon Shark is equipped with Caliber UN-816 movement, which incorporates the revolutionary silicium technology, pioneered by Ulysse Nardin.
Superluminova indexes in ‘shark gray’ adorn the dial and a yellow 0 marks the 12 o’clock position on the bezel. The lemon yellow second hand, second markers and discreet stitching on the R-STRAP distinguish this model. The DIVER Lemon Shark is available in a limited series of just 300 pieces.
