A COLLECTION
from the DEPTHS
In 1948, there was little or no recreational scuba diving.
One of the oldest federations in the world was founded in Marseille, France. Jean-Flavien Borelli proposed grouping the seven existing underwater hunting clubs under the banner of the Fédération Française d'Études et de Sports Sous-Marins .
At the same time, the work of the Groupe de recherches sous-marines, under the leadership of Philippe Tailliez, Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Frédéric Dumas, the three "Mousquemers", was making great strides forward in scuba diving. The development and distribution of the Mistral regulator played a major role, as did the development of reliable decompression tables.
The Hydro-matic model is inspired by the waterproof watches of the 1950s. It is an elegant, robust, precise and reliable watch. It is made of exceptional materials: stainless steel and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
This timepiece also has a screw-in crown for optimum water resistance to 200 metres (20 atm). People have already bought our watches and wear them on a daily basis, as they easily go from the beach to the meeting room, perfect in all situations!
An old school look with a modern twist, our watches have a vintage inspired design and are powered by the most advanced technology. They are perfect for those who want to combine their love of the past with the modern conveniences of today.

Water resistant
A watch with a case designed to protect it from dust and water. At 30 m or 50 m, the model can withstand a pressure of 3 or 5 bars. In practice, it is resistant to accidental contact with water (rain, housework, splashes), but not to total immersion, nor to intensive diving, and even less to scuba diving. It is therefore better to choose a watch tested at a greater depth (100 m or 200 m) and fitted with a crown.
Automatic
Invented in the 16th century by Abraham Louis Perrelet. Later perfected by Abraham Louis Breguet, the automatic watch is a mechanical watch that uses the principle of terrestrial attraction to wind itself by the mere movements of its owner's arm. This "watch that winds itself". Or "perpetual watch" as it was once called, recycles the energy of wrist movements.
