Description
Bathyscaphe 100
The Bathyscaphe is our most versatile watch, with a highly wearable 42 x 49 x 13 millimeter case CNC machined out of a solid block of German 316L surgical stainless steel, DLC steel, or marine-grade bronze alloy. The caseback and crown screw tightly down to ensure a water resistance of 1,000 meters (3,333 feet) and, should you find yourself in a helium-enriched diving bell, the case is equipped with an automatic gas relief valve nestled between the strap horns at 6:00.
The bezel is topped with a scratch-resistant and luminescent ceramic timing ring and precisely ratchets through 120 positions, allowing you to time everything from decompression stops to pizza deliveries.
Inside ticks a self-winding Swiss movement, the ETA 2836-2, which drives hours, minutes and sweep seconds, a quickset date function, and is adjusted to five positions for accuracy.
Befitting a capable watersports watch, the Bathyscaphe 100 comes fitted with a 22-millimeter ISOfrane rubber strap with stainless steel Aquadive-signed buckle.
The Bathyscaphe 100 is limited to 500 pieces (of each color) and the individual number is engraved on the caseback.

After reading numerous posts about the BS-100, and viewing numerous photos, I thought I had a pretty good idea of what to expect when my new watch arrived – but I was wrong. Photos simply do not do this watch justice. To understand and appreciate the inherent quality, one has to hold, feel, and wear the watch. The first thing you notice is the mass – this is a very solid, heavy, watch. The second thing that stands out is the fine machining and detailing of every feature. It feels more like a high-precision scientific instrument than a watch. Every serious collector or admirer of vintage dive watches shown own a BS-100.
