    D-1 Diver Launch Edition

    From the deep, the aquatic origins of the D–1 Diver.

    In the 20th century, great leaps forward in technology brought previously uncharted territories within reach. Wristwatches quickly became vital safety tools. In the oceans, the invention of SCUBA (self-contained underwater breathing apparatus) gave divers unprecedented new freedom of movement to explore the depths. But it also brought new risks.

    Dive watches developed quickly to address those risks. Unidirectional bezels (which could not rotate clockwise) were created to make it impossible for a diver to inadvertently knock the bezel during a dive to give a mistaken indication of more time available underwater. Tough cases and crystals, screw-in case backs and screw-down crowns were developed to withstand the water pressure of ever deeper dives. Finally, watch dials evolved into supremely legible displays with large light-emitting indexes that could be read even in low light.

    We wanted the D-1 Diver to look and feel like a contemporary statement, so we’ve stripped out the unnecessary details and kept only the essentials. It's a simple timepiece with form-emphasising design that creates a striking piece of architecture on the wrist.

    Unique one-piece dials

    Small things matter to us. Like the fact that our dials are etched so they form a well for the application of our lume. And the fact that our lume is hand-painted by specialists in Switzerland.

    Highly corrosion-resistant

    For all our watches we’ve sourced a special high-grade brushed stainless steel called 904L, a luxury and harder-to-mill version than the more common 316L. It also takes a higher polish than other grades of steel, so it shines up really nicely. It’s the reason you’ll see it used by the world’s best luxury watchmakers.

    Individual casebacks and serial numbers

    Turn over every one of our watches and you’ll find a serial number on the back and one of the lugs. This not only marks the watch out as ‘yours’ – it makes it unique.
