elcome to the world of underwater caves and caverns – a unique seascape filled with extraordinary rock formations, stalactites and stalagmites. While cave diving is thrilling, it also comes with risks. This demanding activity requires specially designed equipment, such as a powerful primary light, a backplate for the buoyancy vest, markers, guidelines, safety reels and, of course, a reliable and easily readable watch.

The right dive watch is crucial. Cave divers sometimes go for up to 9 hours submerged, and returning to the surface is not as simple as ‘going back up’. It often requires navigation and planning, which means that time management is essential where depth and air supply considerations are concerned.

With its slightly lighter heft, revised attachments for the band (either the iconic stainless-steel “beads of rice” bracelet or a softer, more supple FKM rubber strap), 20 ATM (200 metres or approx. 650 feet) water-resistance rating, and a power reserve of up to 56 hours, the Sub 200 C-Graph II is poised to become an indispensable companion for divers seeking a reliable, high-performance watch for their most extreme underwater adventures. At the same time, its sporty-chic appearance makes it an elegant and contemporary accessory in urban settings.

The Sub 200 C-Graph II was meticulously developed to serve as a tool watch on high-risk dives. Boasting a more contemporary 42 mm diameter and a reduced thickness of 15.85 mm, it offers the same functionality and features as its larger 45 mm sibling, introduced in 2020. The Sub 200 C-Graph II is also crafted from the highest quality 316L stainless steel.

The mechanical automatic chronograph (28,800 vph, 4.0 Hz, 27 jewels) is a Tri-Compax model with three counters for tracking dive times and a unidirectional rotating steel bezel with minute indications highlighted in white Super-LumiNova™.

Beneath the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment, the dial’s stunning new finish echoes the collection’s vintage spirit. A luminous sunburst effect imparts a subtle, distinctive elegance to each of the collection’s six dial colours.
