CONCEPT

Night diving is a great way to enjoy a completely different experience of the sea from that of diving in the daytime. Many divers are fascinated by the mysterious world of the ocean at night, making this recreational activity popular around the world. Today, four special watches that evoke the underwater world at night join The Black Series. The black case expresses the darkness and silence of the night ocean, and the orange color is inspired by the lights that illuminate it.
The four models include three modern re-interpretations of landmark timepieces from 1965 and 1970 with the world view of The Black Series.
