The Oktopus II — Double Date’s innovative five-part case construction ensures absolute water resistance as well as excellent protection against seawater corrosion. “ To guarantee this we have chosen anticorrosive materials such as gold, titanium and ceramic, the last employed for the first time on our timepieces,” says Morten Linde, creative mind at Linde Werdelin.

In the last five years, Linde Werdelin has undertaken the complex development of the Reef, acquiring unequalled expertise which has been applied into the Oktopus II, both in its design and structure.

The Oktopus II represents a technological and ideological advancement of the original Oktopus which in turn was a development of the original Biformeter, Linde Werdelin’s first collection of timepieces. The result of this innovative construction is inspired by Linde Werdelin’s knowledge in crafting dive instruments.
