JeanRichard goes deep with the Diverscope

January 2011


JeanRichard this year at SIHH is going deep with a 300 metre water resistance in its popular Diverscope. The New Diverscope Titanium features a JeanRichard manufacture movement, the JR1000, in a sand blasted, specially-treated mat grey titanium case.
According to JeanRichard, each component of the new Diverscope was adapted for underwater use - the sapphire crystal, for example, is two-and-a half times thicker than that of a standard watch. The luminescent hands and indicators on the dial are designed for optimal readability in murky conditions.
Harder than steel yet 40 per cent lighter, titanium is used in the Diverscope because it is extremely resistant to corrosion, including sea water. The case’s rough and ready appearance is accomplished by sand-blasting, which also produces the dark grey colour, complementing the dial and fabric strap.
The Diverscope Titanium has two screw-down crowns: the crown at three o’clock is used to set the time and date, while the one at nine o’clock is used to adjust the internal bidirectional rotating bezel, which helps track the dive time. To prevent accidental movement caused by impacts, JeanRichard has incorporated a safety system: the settings can only be made once the crowns have been unscrewed. The new Diverscope Titanium from JeanRichard is an extremely attractive watch designed to perform in extreme situations.
