The Spinnaker Piccard dive watch is a nautical timepiece that aims to balance design, materials and craftsmanship to offer avid aquatic enthusiasts with a way to keep time when heading below the surface. The limited-edition watch draws design inspiration from the 1960 voyage of the Bathyscaphe Trieste, which reaches the bottom of the Challenger Deep, the lowest known point underwater. The timepiece celebrates the 60th anniversary of the voyage with a design that draws direct influence from styles of the time without skimping on must-have features for divers to appreciate.
Priced at $950, the Spinnaker Piccard dive watch features a Sellita SW-200 movement, SWISS C3 Superluminova for low-light visibility, water resistance up to 1,000 meters and much more. The watch is limited to a mere 300 examples.
