Automatic Night Diver 200M Full-Lume Black PVD Watch

The Watch

This HGP dive watch is a true marvel of technology and design. Made in France, it carries the hallmarks of fine watchmaking with its tonneau case shape - a design that seamlessly blends elegance and functionality. The Monnin® dive watch case shape 844-24343538 is crafted from 316L stainless steel, renowned for its corrosion and shock resistance, ideal for a timepiece built for demanding activities like diving. Its black PVD finish not only adds a refined sophistication but also provides extra protection against daily wear. The watch measures 42 mm in diameter, 47 mm in length, and 13.2 mm in thickness - dimensions that guarantee a bold wrist presence while remaining comfortable for everyday wear. The screw-down case back ensures optimal water resistance down to 200 meters, ideal for water sports enthusiasts. The anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the dial, offering perfect clarity for flawless legibility even in low-light environments.

The Dial

The dial of this HGP watch is a work of art in its own right. Fully coated in Super-LumiNova C5, it delivers exceptional visibility during nighttime or low-light dives. The hour and minute hands are treated with Super-LumiNova C3, providing extra luminescence for optimal legibility. The dial features a minute track on the bezel that is as practical as it is attractive, enabling precise time measurements. At 3 o'clock, a discreet date window adds a useful function without cluttering the design.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch lies its movement - a Seiko NH35 automatic caliber. Engineered with precision by Seiko Corp., this mechanism is a shining example of Japanese engineering, celebrated for its robustness and reliability. It runs at a frequency of 21,600 bph, or 3 Hz, ensuring a smooth beat and enhanced accuracy with every passing second. This movement features a hacking seconds device, essential for precise time setting. With a 41-hour power reserve, the watch stays operational even after a full day without wear.

The Strap

Choose from two premium straps, each adding a unique touch to the watch. The first is a black PVD 316L stainless steel bracelet that matches the case, featuring a deployment clasp for a secure, perfect fit. The second option is a black Rally Tropic rubber strap with a pin buckle, underscoring the watch's sporty, modern character. Not only comfortable, this strap is built to withstand the extreme conditions of water sports and outdoor activities. Switching between the two is easy via a drop-down menu, letting you personalize your watch to suit your style or the occasion. Both straps feature a 20 mm lug width and a 16 mm buckle width.

Water Resistance

Water resistance on this HGP watch is rated at 20 ATM, equivalent to a safe depth of 200 meters. This makes it perfectly suited for water activities such as swimming, scuba diving, and other demanding aquatic sports. This high level of water resistance is reinforced by the screw-down case back and the screw-down crown - essential features for preventing any water ingress under significant pressure. The watch also features a unidirectional bezel, a critical tool for any diver, enabling precise tracking of time spent underwater.
