sotope has just announced the launch of its Hydrium™ X timepiece in a new colour scheme rarely seen in watchmaking: blue and pink - a combination that the independent brand calls ’Blink.’

“By combining these two colours, which are traditionally used to designate each sex, you get a watch for everybody,” states the brand. “While it shares the familiar design of the now sold-out Isotope Hydrium™ X Will Return, the blue and pink add a new dimension. Despite being meant to be worn casually, the Isotope Hydrium™ X Blink is a competent diving watch featuring a 40mm large case made from 316L stainless steel with a micro-blasted finish, double-domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal, unidirectional sapphire bezel with 120 clicks, and a screw-down crown.”

The exhibition case-back shows the cecorated Swiss made Landeron calibre, whilst ensuring water resistance up to 30 ATM/300 meters. Like the Isotope Hydrium™ X Will Return, the Isotope Hydrium™ X Blink will be offered as a limited edition (of 100 pieces). It is offered exclusively online at £617 (ex VAT).
