Depthmaster Bronze Watch

The Watch

Nivada Grenchen is a watchmaking brand renowned for high-quality timepieces since 1879. It has earned international acclaim for its expertise in crafting precise and elegant models that blend classic, timeless design with cutting-edge movements. The brand offers a wide range of timepieces for both men and women, generally dedicated to diving or everyday wear. Nivada Grenchen carved out its legendary status over the decades with the iconic "Depthmaster" of the 1960s - an enormously popular dive watch of its era. Today, the brand continues to embody Swiss watchmaking excellence and remains a favorite among watch enthusiasts worldwide for its artisanal craftsmanship. From the Depthmaster collection comes this beautiful Pac-Man 14123A01 watch, made for men who dive. It is presented with a cushion-shaped case crafted from CuAl8 bronze and an aluminum alloy with brushed and polished finishes. It measures 39 mm in diameter, 47 mm lug-to-lug, and 13 mm thick - proportions that suit men's wrists perfectly. The case is topped by a black notched bezel featuring a luminescent marker, crafted in ceramic and graduated with a minute track. A flat sapphire crystal sits over the dial on this gold-toned case, effectively protecting it from scratches and external shocks. A screwed crown at 3 o'clock handles hand-setting, while a discreet helium valve sits at 9 o'clock. Finally, the screwed case back in 316L stainless steel ensures water resistance to 100 ATM.

The Dial

The dial of this watch features a matte black background - a true symbol of elegance. Its edge is traced by a minute track for easy time reading, followed by an Arabic numeral at 12 o'clock and Pac-Man-shaped hour markers. These markers, along with the central hands, are coated with Superluminova for excellent legibility in low-light conditions. The three hands sweep to display hours, minutes, and seconds. These applied indicators are rendered in a bronze tone that perfectly complements the case. To finish, the brand name is placed at 12 o'clock as its signature.

The Movement

This model is powered by a Swiss automatic movement - specifically the Soprod P024 caliber with 25 jewels, reliably animating the hands. This mechanism beats at a frequency of 28,800 vph and delivers a power reserve of 38 hours. It is equipped with a stop-seconds device, making time-setting effortlessly precise.

The Strap

This dive watch pairs with a rubber strap featuring small perforations that allow men's wrists to breathe throughout the day. Its black color makes it easy to pair with a wide range of outfits for any occasion. The strap has a lug width of 20 mm and fastens with a 316L stainless steel pin buckle in a bronze tone, 16 mm wide.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance to 100 atmospheres, guaranteed by a helium escape valve on the side of the case. This valve releases the rare gas that builds up during deep dives, preventing the crystal from being blown off. In short, this piece of engineering - worthy of any spy thriller - is built to follow you on adventures 20,000 leagues under the sea, or more precisely to 1,000 meters. With this marvel of technology on your wrist, the deep and its creatures don't stand a chance. Our experts wish you an incredible underwater exploration - with one final word of advice: never touch the crown during your descent!
