Editor’s Note: Watches & Wonders (formerly SIHH) and Baselworld 2020 are canceled but that hasn’t stopped watch brands large and small from debuting their new wares. To stay on top of this year’s best new watch releases, visit our tag page.
Aquadive has been making serious tools for divers since 1962, in the midst of the golden age of recreational diving. For their latest release, the Austrian-headquartered brand reimagined their bestselling Bathyscaphe 100 in a new “Steel Blue” colorway, adding a hardened steel case to the an already robust design.
The Bathyscaphe 100 features a beefy 42.9mm case and a helium escape valve at 6 o’clock, should you feel the need to take advantage of the watch’s impressive 1,000m of water resistance. Other standout features include a flat sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, applied hour markers with C3 Super-LumiNova, a 120-click unidirectional rotating bezel with a luminous ceramic insert, a dual-gasket system in the crown and case back, and the tried and true automatic ETA 2824-2 automatic movement.
The Bathyscaphe 100 includes two Isofrane rubber dive straps in blue and black and is currently shipping at an MSRP of $1,890. But wait, there’s more: If you love what you see and want to place an order, you can use the code “PBBSL20” at checkout and take $300 off, for a pre-Baselworld price of $1,590.
