This enables wearers to resize the bracelet so the watch can be worn over a wetsuit, or adjust the bracelet size to cater for changes in climate or temperature, without taking the watch off. The blue 36 mm model also has eight diamond hour markers and polished central bracelet links.Įach reference features a new integrated metal bracelet design, equipped with a highly sophisticated fine adjustment system that can extend or reduce the bracelet length by up to 1.5 cm. The dials on the smaller 36 mm models are engraved with a wave pattern, which was introduced in 2019. The 43 mm models carry over one of the signature design cues from the outgoing Aquaracer, namely the dial’s engraved horizontal lines, only now these have been set further apart, contributing to the watch’s more considered look. To give the watches the bold sophistication established as a core principle during the concept phase, all seven references have been given stylish engraved dials. The titanium model has a green ceramic bezel insert with a yellow triangle at 12 o’clock, and every indication on its minutes scale is filled with blue Super-LumiNova® to maximise low-light visibility.
The stainless-steel models have either a black or blue ceramic bezel insert with a white triangle at 12 o’clock filled with blue Super- LumiNova®. There will also be a 43 mm piece in high-tech matte Grade 2 titanium with a green dial. Six of these will be in stainless steel, with the choice of black, blue or silver dials. Each has a uni-directional rotating divers’ bezel with a ceramic insert and an engraved minutes scale.
At launch, there will be seven references in two sizes in the core collection.įour references will have a 43 mm case diameter, and three will feature a case measuring 36 mm. The new Aquaracer Professional 300’s sophisticated dynamic isn’t limited to its design fundamentals. The result is a highly ergonomic device that delivers tangible improvements to the watch’s functionality. They also went under the skin, re-engineering the bezel’s internal tooth profile so that the rotating mechanism becomes smoother, quieter and easier to set. The designers kept the basic form and evolved it, integrating a scratch-resistant ceramic insert across the collection and fluting each of the 12 facets so the bezel would be easy to grip and turn, no matter which facets the wearer is holding. To start, the team turned to the most visually arresting and immediately recognisable element of the Aquaracer’s design – its 12-sided unidirectional rotating bezel. Since 1983, the collection has always offered a unidirectional rotating bezel, a screw-down crown, water resistance to at least 200 metres, luminous markings, a sapphire glass and a double safety clasp – real-world functions that divers know to rely on in the deep. This meant working with the Aquaracer collection’s six signature features and updating and upgrading them.
