The Aktiv Dive Watch, developed by design studio LARSEN & ERIKSEN, is a modern, minimalist timepiece that has a sleek ultra-slim case. The case is only 8.5mm, significantly thinner than many watches in the category. The slim design sacrifices none of the Aktiv Dive Watch's functionality as it maintains water resistance up to 200 meters and resists water pressure up to 20 ATM. The stainless steel construction and scratchproof sapphire ensure durability and longevity.
The Aktiv Dive Watch is available in four refined colorways: black on black, white on black, black on silver, and silver on silver. These colorways are complemented by a choice of three bands: a rubber strap, a steel link strap, or a calf leather strap. The Aktiv Dive Watch, alongside additional accessories, can be secured through LARSEN & ERIKSEN's Kickstarter campaign that runs until June 22nd, 2021. For sustainability purposes, the watches are made to be carbon neutral.
