KMU 48 limited – A giant is back!
This event has been keenly awaited and not only by collectors!

This autumn, the traditional watchmaking company GLYCINE announces the return of its "oversized" classic KMU 48.
The imposing manual watch delights with its harmonious synthesis of watch case, dial, movement and strap. With its 48 mm diameter, the KMU makes a familiar and striking impression on the watch market without straying from Glycine’s deliberately chosen path of always being one step away from the main-stream.

A special treat for watch lovers is the limited series of black PVD coated watches powered by the calibre, Unitas 6497. Glycine has devoted particular attention to the design of the dial. The dial is a wonderful construction on two levels with extra-large second display at the 9 o'clock position. Two hundred and fifty pieces of this classic contemporary watch have been made.

The origin of the KMU 48 goes back to the well-known military watches of the last century. Glycine launched the first replica of such watches as early as 1999. In the meantime, demand has grown so strong that the KMU 48 has established itself firmly as a distinct family of watches in Glycine's proud collection.

PROFESSIONAL DIVER’S WATCH
Limited edition: 200 pieces
Darkness, strange creatures, high pressure, abyss, sea caverns, words that describe the unknown deep underwater world and sound mythical and full of thrill. GRAHAM wanted to make these words become reality and create a true luxury diver’s watch for professional adventurers and watch addicts. The Chronofighter Prodive is for the first time equipped with a patented start/stop/reset mechanism which allows the watch to be used to the limits the human being can dive to. However, each watch is tested to resist and go beyond 2000 feet. Advanced manufacturing processes have been used to develop the perfect and stylish diving instrument.

Clear, colourless, odourless, water covers 70% of Earth and is essential to all living creatures. GRAHAM is devoted to the creation of timepieces which respect nature and unknown territories and also give boldness to our users to experience the GRAHAM exciting world. Equipped with an isothermal diving neoprene rubber suit and gloves, the diving experience must be a sequence of easy and successful operations. GRAHAM has developed a brand new diving chronograph, Chronofighter Prodive, which will give life and light to this incredible world of deep water and make you perfectly amphibian. The yellow-coloured Chronofighter Prodive professional shines forth from underwater and will be the diver’s watch to find your way to venture in total assurance.

The lever, famously GRAHAM and patented system, is undoubtedly the best system to activate the chronograph without fail. Placed on the left side of the case, the trigger is completely rethought to become the only control pusher of the chronograph start/stop and reset. Easy for any divers to activate the functions with thick neoprene gloves.

The unidirectional rotating bezel is adorned with a special pattern to ensure a better grip in addition to a 120-position notched wheel. And the rubber strap with the folding buckle featuring a diver’s extension will become a part of your suit.
Sea, lake, river, ocean, the GRAHAM Chronofighter Prodive is able to adapt to all types of diving and light changes. Deeper you go down weaker is the light and darker is the underwater world. A dark blue and black zone that spreads around you like ink in a glass of water. It will prevent you diving into troubled water thanks to a new generation of luminescent coatings, totally free of radiation. Two colours of luminescent indications are displayed and will be perfectly visible in great depths. The watch is perfectly readable from 25 cm in murky conditions.

GRAHAM traces its origins to London clockmaker George Graham (1673-1751) who is considered as the father of modern watch making. He is known as the father of the chronograph as he invented the start and stop device of the chronograph, the dead-beat and cylinder escapement, the mercury pendulum to compensate the influence of temperature on pendulums, to name a few. He also built the master clock for Greenwich Royal Observatory which timed most of the 18th century and lots of science instruments for astronomers and physicists. GRAHAM was revived in 1995 and is today a privately owned Swiss watch company. GRAHAM SA creates and manufactures its watches in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.
