Onyx Diver Timepieces

The Chronotechna Uses the World's Blackest Pigment to Help Divers

— December 20, 2018 — Fashion
Designed to ensure the face of the watch is always easy to read, the Chronotechna utilizes the world's blackest pigment, known to absorb 99.9% of light shone at it. The decision to use this pigment on the watch ensures that the face can easily be read underwater or in a place where sunlight struggles to find its way through. The ultra black dial of the watch is contrasted by hands and markings painted in SuperLuminova to provide a deep contrast to the incredibly black dial.

Aside from its interesting use of pigments, the Chronotechna features a Marine-Grade 316L stainless steel construction and a sapphire-coated crystal cover on the top. The watch is exclusively designed for divers so the watch is water-resistant up to 10 atmospheres of pressure, and features a Sellita SW 200-1 Swiss-made automatic self-winding movement on the inside.
Trend Themes
1. Ultra Black Pigments - Exploring the use of ultra black pigments opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in various industries where high contrast and visibility are crucial.
2. Marine-grade Stainless Steel - Developing innovative applications of marine-grade stainless steel can lead to disruptive advancements in industries that require high durability and resistance to corrosion.
3. Swiss-made Automatic Movements - Leveraging Swiss-made automatic movements presents disruptive innovation opportunities in industries that value precision and reliability in timekeeping.
Industry Implications
1. Dive Equipment - The dive equipment industry can benefit from incorporating ultra black pigments to enhance visibility underwater.
2. Watch Manufacturing - The watch manufacturing industry can explore the use of marine-grade stainless steel to create durable timepieces suitable for various environments.
3. Luxury Goods - Luxury goods industries can leverage Swiss-made automatic movements to offer high-end, precise, and reliable timepieces.
