About this watch

A robust, dive-inspired automatic sports watch designed for strong legibility and confident everyday wear.

The Automatic Diver combines a rotating timing bezel, luminous hour markers and a substantial stainless-steel case with the dependable NH35 automatic movement. Its high-contrast design provides clear readability while retaining a versatile profile for daily and casual wear.

The configuration shown is available as a complete, assembled-to-order watch. For a different dial, hands, bracelet, case back, logo or personalized detail, contact our studio before ordering.

Custom artwork, logo and engraving are confirmed with our studio before production.

BUILT FOR CLARITY. MADE FOR EVERYDAY USE.

THE DIVER

The automatic dive watch was designed around a simple idea: make time easy to read, easy to operate and dependable in demanding environments.

Automatic Diver follows this functional tradition with a rotating bezel, high-contrast dial layout, strong case proportions and a practical automatic movement.

Its design works naturally beyond the water as well. The familiar diver format has become one of the most versatile forms of the modern mechanical watch, equally suited to casual wear, travel and everyday use.

Rather than being a fixed design, Automatic Diver can be personalized through the dial, hands, bezel, bracelet or strap, logo, artwork and engraving.

The result is a functional sports watch foundation that can be configured to reflect your own style.
