A Swiss watch brand has just unveiled its brand new collection of diving watches. Combining vintage design and modern technology, these timepieces are likely to make waves in the world of watchmaking. Let's dive together into the details of this creation which could well become your next watch obsession.
A tribute to Swiss lake treasures
The new collection of diving watches is directly inspired by Lake Neuchâtel and its rich historical heritage. This Swiss body of water indeed conceals real archaeological treasures, witnesses of human occupation dating back more than 12,000 years before our era.
The watch's designers drew inspiration from the remains discovered by divers at the bottom of the lake, as well as from the Roman history of the region. The result is a timepiece that subtly combines historical references with contemporary design.
A design that does not leave you indifferent
At first glance, this diver's watch is in line with the great classics of the 1960s. We find a refined dial, minimalist lines and a beautiful proportion of metal.
This apparent simplicity actually hides a multitude of carefully thought-out details:
– The arrowhead-shaped minute hand, inspired by prehistoric remains found in the region– The fine line crossing the first 15 minutes of the rotating bezel, recalling the patterns of Roman pottery– The case back decorated with a triple fish motif, evoking Roman art while adding a playful touch
A diving watch… lake
Unlike the majority of diving watches designed for the ocean, this model is positioned as a lake diving watch. While the technical performance remains similar (waterproof to 200 meters), this original positioning allows the brand to stand out in a very competitive market.
The 41 mm diameter stainless steel case offers excellent wearing comfort. Its contained thickness (less than 12 mm) and its finely worked sides give it a rare elegance for a diving watch.
A Swiss movement up to the task
At the heart of this timepiece beats a high-quality Swiss automatic movement. This modern caliber offers a generous power reserve of 68 hours, allowing the watch to be worn for a weekend without having to reset the time.
The precision and reliability of this movement make it a wise choice for a watch in this category. It also allows the brand to offer versions with or without a date, depending on individual preferences.
A multitude of options for all tastes
The brand has made the bold choice to offer no fewer than 20 different versions of this model. While this profusion of options may seem confusing at first, it allows everyone to find the perfect combination:
– Four different dial styles (black, blue, with or without date)– Multiple strap options, including an elegant Milanese mesh strap and a more classic “rice grain” strap– Varied finishes to suit all styles
A competitive price for a quality Swiss watch
Despite its many qualities, this diving watch remains accessible with a selling price of around €1,900. An interesting positioning for a Swiss watch of this quality, which should allow it to appeal to both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers to the world of watchmaking.
A watch that has no shortage of advantages
This new collection of diving watches has many advantages to appeal to watch enthusiasts:
– An elegant and original design, combining vintage inspirations and contemporary touches– A rich history, rooted in Swiss heritage– Careful finishing and attention to the smallest details– A reliable and efficient Swiss movement– Excellent value for money for a Swiss watch
The challenge for the brand will now be to carve out a place for itself in an already saturated diving watch market. If it manages to capture the attention of enthusiasts, this collection could well become a must-have for lovers of beautiful aquatic mechanics.
Whether you are an experienced diver or simply a lover of beautiful objects, this Swiss watch has everything to make you succumb. All that remains is to choose from the many versions offered the one that will make your heart beat to the rhythm of the Swiss lake depths.
