Davosa Argonautic 161.526.55
Inspired by the historical background of bronze in connection with diving, Davosa has developed the latest diving watch Davosa Argonautic Bronze tt.
Bronze was one of the first alloys produced by man and for a long time was the material of choice for equipment, weapons and tools. At the end of the 19th century, when the profession of professional diving emerged and its equipment took off, marine bronze was used to make pressure-resistant diving helmets. The reason for this is that copper alloys, of which bronze is made, have a considerable resistance to seawater corrosion, which is even significantly higher than stainless steel.
Against this background, seafaring has long relied on this material for components that are in constant contact with seawater. Incidentally, marine bronze acquires a dull dark patina on contact with oxygen and seawater, which provided divers with better camouflage under water. Bronze was thus the material of choice for many nautical devices and the first diving bells.
After the Argonautic Bronze with a complete bronze case launched by Davosa last year sold out within a very short time, the successor model, which is also limited to 300 pieces, appears in a two-tone design (tt = Two Tone).
At first glance, the Davosa Argonautic tt shows that it unites worlds: that of land and water, that of diving and shore, that of tradition and innovation, or that of elegant accessory and precise tool.
The most striking aspect of the Davosa Argonautic Bronze tt is its appearance: while the case is made of satin-finished stainless steel, the striking bezel with luminous dot in the triangle on the twelve is made of the centuries-old nautical material marine bronze.
If it initially shines in a warm reddish gold tone, this will oxidize over time and develop an unmistakable patina that makes each piece unique. No two watches will ever be the same. The black textured dial under the scratch-resistant and anti-reflective sapphire crystal bears vintage SuperLumiNova in the color "Old Radium" on indexes and hands to match. The water-resistant, 22 mm wide integrated rubber strap with stainless steel folding clasp is also black.
All in all, a combination that is as elegant as it is striking. Last but not least, the 43 mm diameter and 13.5 mm height of the case stand for this.
Precision and reliability
Under water, the Davosa Argonautic tt scores with all the characteristics of a professional diver's watch: the case with screw-down crown and back is water-resistant to 300 meters and is equipped with a manual helium valve at the 10 o'clock position - this protects both the watch and the diver: When the valve is open, the lighter helium molecules escape from the case first, preventing the glass and glass seal from being blown by excess pressure and ensuring that the watch retains its function as a reliable timepiece. Dive times can be set precisely via the rotating bezel ring - and thanks to the clearly structured dial with SuperLumiNova on the indexes and hands, they can be read quickly and clearly at any time, even under water.
Regardless of the world in which the Davosa Argonautic Bronze tt is worn, it always works precisely and reliably: this is ensured by the Swiss automatic movement dav 3021 with a power reserve of 38 hours. And the individual engraving of the model number on the case back as well as the elaborate wooden packaging remind us that it remains an exclusive one-off.
