or the summer of 2024, ArtyA unveils a new collection of diving watches - ’Aqua Divers Carbon’. This limited series consists of 99 unique pieces, each crafted to stand out.

These watches feature a new 43mm case that is lightweight and ergonomically designed for active lifestyles. The new asymmetrical bezel evokes the power and grace of an ocean wave, while the screw-down crown is inspired by a submarine hatch. The dial offers uncompromising presence and legibility with Super-LumiNova. Each watch is carved from a high-tech composite created by combining carbon fragments and a coloured resin matrix, resulting in a unique case and dial combination. With 11 available colours for the case and dial, there are only 99 possible unique variations.

Each of the 99 watches is COSC-certified, featuring a sleek, sporty design with high-tech materials and an exclusive automatic movement made in the cradle of Swiss watchmaking. Each is water-resistant to 300 meters (30 ATM) and they all come in vibrant summer colours.

Timepieces that are not only trendy but also robust, yet light on the wrist, suitable for both the urban environment and adventures off the beaten path, in an office high up above the concrete jungle or down deep in the current exploring underwater kelp forests.

Following the steel and AquaSaphir^® sapphire crystal models introduced in 2023, the Summer 2024 collection features a pioneering design where carbon is fused with high-tech coloured resin. This creates a composite that is incredibly durable, shock, and pressure-resistant. The Aqua Divers Carbon watches are designed to maintain their vibrant colours throughout their lifetime, suitable for extreme sports enthusiasts and the everyday active lifestyle.

The new ’Aqua Carbon Divers’ series stands out with a newly designed 43mm case, showcasing numerous carefully considered details. The unidirectional rotating bezel has a slightly asymmetrical shape, reminiscent of an ocean wave. The finely crafted screw-down crown evokes a submarine hatch.

This case is the product of combining carbon fibres with a coloured resin matrix, machined after the composite is solidified under high pressure and high temperature. The appeal of this composite material is both physical and aesthetic. Its intriguing allure is enhanced by the random arrangement of fibers, giving each watch a unique visual vibe.

Lightweight and durable, this forged carbon sourced from the Italian racing car industry delivers exceptional strength while reducing weight on the wrist. Known for its corrosion resistance, carbon is also ideally suited for marine environments. While the specifications for a diving watch typically require water resistance up to 100 meters, each of the 99 unique pieces in the ’Aqua Carbon Divers’ series has been individually tested to withstand up to 30 ATM, equivalent to a depth of 300 meters.

Each unique piece in the ’Aqua Carbon Divers’ collection features a dial meticulously crafted from a composite block of forged carbon and tinted high-tech resin. Designed for exceptional legibility, these dials boast a sober, efficient, and straightforward design, enhanced by Super LumiNova BGW9 highlights on the indexes, hands, and bezel for superior visibility under all circumstances.

With hour, minute, and central second hands, plus a date window at 3 o’clock, the new ‘Aqua Carbon Divers’ are equipped with high-quality, Swiss Made automatic movements. Holding the coveted COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres – Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute) certification, deliver accuracy and a comfortable 42-hour power with the elegance of exclusive circular graining and rhodium-plated finishes.

Reliability was the watchword in designing the movement, ensuring precision and dependability even under the most extreme conditions. Customised by the ArtyOn department, they combine remarkable timekeeping and robustness, all while showcasing ArtyA’s artistic finesse.

Here’s to summer, the sea, and wrists sparkling in the sun!
