Edox: the spirit of the Grand Ocean lives on

The independent Swiss brand presents two new models in its Grand Ocean line, the Chronograph Automatic and the Power Reserve Automatic. True to its heritage, the collection retains its iconic Triple Horn case design, a mark of Edox’s engineering expertise. The sophisticated multi-component construction reflects the complexity of the sea - layered, powerful, and ever-changing.

ver the decades Edox has forged a reputation as the“ water champion” of the watch world, creating world-leading divers’ watches. The Swiss brand has always embodied the spirit of the ocean. Today, Edox is known for its highly water-resistant timepieces, complex hand-polished watch cases and traditional hand assembling (read our detailed article on the brand’s history here).

The ocean is a world of contrasts - graceful yet untamed, serene yet immensely powerful. It demands respect, precision, and the ability to navigate the unexpected. For decades, the Grand Ocean collection has embodied this duality, uniting refined elegance with unwavering strength. Today, it returns with the same uncompromising spirit, designed for those who chart their own course.

Grand Ocean Chronograph Automatic

At 43mm, the Grand Ocean Chronograph is engineered for those who thrive on precision. Powered by the SW 500 BV b movement, it features a vertical bicompax chronograph layout with a date function, ensuring both symmetry and readability. Its robust construction includes a screw-down crown and 300m water resistance, ready to withstand the elements.

Yet, beyond its striking exterior, the Grand Ocean Chronograph is built for endurance, a true companion for those who push boundaries.

Grand Ocean Power Reserve Automatic

Refined yet resolute, the 40mm Grand Ocean Power Reserve seamlessly blends craftsmanship and functionality. Driven by the SW 279-1 movement, it features a power reserve indicator at 6 o’clock and a small seconds counter at 9 o’clock, ensuring optimal balance. The dial’s velvety texture, encircled by a delicate circular striage, mirrors the rhythm of the tides.
