AQUADIVE Bathyscaphe 100 GMT

By TLex Proudly introducing the new AQUADIVE Bathyscaphe 100 GMT, an original 70s design combined with today's dive watch technologies. The 70s gave us arguably some of the most iconic divers watches ever made. OK, it's true to say that I was a just a bouncing baby in the 70s, but we only have to flick through the pages of a vintage watch magazine and you'll find any number legends there. Collectors and aficionados have referred to Aquadive as the '70s design company' and it's not difficult to see why, when they produce work like this!



Still with the current trends in retro and vintage re-releases and reinterpretations the new BS100 GMT is as current as anything else these days. It takes a design that dates back to 1972 and combines it with Aquadive's deftly applied manufacturing technologies and high-tech materials. High-end German CNC-machining, scratch resistant Sapphire crystal, ceramic, Viton seals, and an ISOfrane rubber divers strap. The look of the watch with its oversized yellow skeltonized GMT pointer and yellow 24hr ring brings the new BS 1000 GMT alive in ways that I had never dreamt was possible - wow!
