Diver 200m Automatic Watch

The Watch

The H.G.P. brand was founded in Paris in 1970 and built its reputation on diving equipment. Today, it crafts timepieces with distinctive designs, handmade from robust materials for exceptional durability. Every model embodies the spirit of adventure and is equipped with precision mechanisms for outstanding everyday accuracy. Discover this Diver 200m Automatic dive watch, the perfect accessory for men who bring effortless style to every occasion. It features a Monnin® tonneau-shaped case measuring 42 mm in diameter and 47 mm in length with a thickness of 13.20 mm. Crafted in brushed and polished 316L stainless steel, it is topped by a unidirectional bezel with 120 clicks and a knurled edge design. The bezel features a bi-color anodized aluminum insert with a minute scale and a SuperLuminova C3 marker. An anti-reflective sapphire crystal offers optimal protection against shocks while ensuring a clear view of the dial. The date window and hands are set via the grey crown positioned at 3 o'clock, featuring a knurled finish for a secure grip. This timepiece has a screw-down caseback with engravings that guarantees water resistance to 20 ATM. It comes with a travel luggage tag and a pouch for storing the watch.

The Dial

This dial is carefully crafted for smooth, at-a-glance timekeeping. It features a lightly sandblasted black background that gives it a distinctive textured finish. At its center, three silver-toned hands sweep the dial - a slender seconds hand, a long minutes hand, and a short hours hand. Together, they track the minute railroad track along the outer edge and the geometric hour markers inside it. All hands and hour indices are treated with SuperLuminova C3, ensuring excellent legibility in the dark. A date window sits at 3 o'clock, while water resistance and movement type are noted near 6 o'clock along with the country of manufacture. Finally, the brand places its name beneath the 12 o'clock index as a signature.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a Japanese automatic movement renowned for its reliability and robustness. It uses the Seiko NH34 caliber, a mechanism that resists vibrations and precisely drives the hands and date window. It beats at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3 Hz) and features 24 jewels to minimize friction. It delivers a power reserve of 41 hours. This movement also includes a hacking seconds function.

The Strap

This timepiece comes with two straps to choose from, each with a lug width of 20 mm and 16 mm at the buckle.

The first is crafted in 316L stainless steel with a rice grain link pattern featuring brushed and polished links. Sturdy and refined, it will elevate your everyday look. At 210 mm in length, it fits your wrist like a glove for a comfortable, wearable experience all day long. Its grey tone pairs with any outfit, and the 35 x 17.50 mm deployment buckle makes it easy to put on and take off. This bracelet also features 5 micro-adjustment positions and fits wrists up to 24.50 cm.

The second strap is crafted in vulcanized rubber, delivering flexibility and durability in all conditions. It's elevated by a striking green hue that pairs beautifully with any look. Lightweight and comfortable, it measures 195 mm in length - 120 mm for the long end and 75 mm for the short end - and hugs your wrist with ease. It features a pin buckle in 316L stainless steel for effortless adjustment.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 20 atmospheres, equivalent to 200 meters, this model is what you'd confidently call a true dive watch. Our watchmaking experts agree: while this timepiece handles showers, baths, lap swimming, freediving, and recreational scuba with ease, it is not intended for extreme deep-sea diving, where pressure would eventually exceed its water resistance rating. For professional divers chasing serious depths, we recommend models rated 30 atmospheres and above. We also advise against operating the pushers or crown while submerged to maintain a perfect seal at all times.
