ATLANTIC - BlackShark RED Gold


ATLANTIC - BlackShark RED Gold NEW


Equipped to perform!

Flagship of Atlantic Watch, the represents an amalgam of the Brand’s complete know-how. Guaranteed water-resistant to 300 metres, it continues in a long tradition of marine watches, combining high watchmaking quality and sturdy character, like the 316L steel from which it is made. A windfall for lovers of strong emotions.

This watch has a resolutely aquatic design and takes its name from the powerful marine animal, whose teeth appear integrated in the centre of the solid 316 L steel bracelet. Objective: determination, agility and force.

A tough watch, the Blackshark is the proud heir of the Seashark line and offers an ultimate guarantee of precision, which all men of action are entitled to expect. Equipped with the ETA 251.272 Swiss Made movement, the Blackshark is the perfect partner, to be counted on in all winds and weathers.

Screw-down crown for water-resistance, double thickness anti-reflection sapphire crystal, curved to resist pressure, hypoallergenic PVD anti-corrosion treatment on the case and bracelet, luminous Superluminova indexes and rotating bezel with 60-min scale for use by divers at depth, nothing has been left to chance.

A reflection of the expectations of the high seas, the deep black dial has finely traced waves, accentuated by the 4 "aerofoil links" of the steel bracelet, which is equipped with a double closure system. Safety first! This explains the extremely clear legibility of the dial with the date at five o’clock. An effect further accentuated by the deliberate choice of the size of the hands, including a particularly striking sweep seconds hand.

These new models will certainly attract attention too; in true BlackShark tradition!

Parmigiani - Tonda 1950 Special Edition



Parmigiani - Tonda 1950 Special Edition

Its number “1950” represents the year of Michel Parmigiani's birth. The design of its four lugs, round and ergonomic, goes back to the brand's origins. Inspired by the spiral shape, these instantly recognisable features now represent the brand's identity code. This piece was chosen for its clean lines, fine profile and the clarity of its proportions - three fundamental criteria of the Parmigiani style.


The dial reveals the beauty of the mechanics. Its concentric circular "grille" shape, made using the LIGA* technique, reveals glimpses of the gear trains.

 Parmigiani - Movement - PF701

Its Calibre PF 701 movement, manufactured entirely in-house in the brand's workshops, is currently one of the thinnest in watchmaking. With its 42-hour power reserve, a 30mm diameter (13 ¼ lignes) and a thickness of just 2.6mm, the movement has an off-centre oscillating micro-weight made from 950 platinum. The Haute Horlogerie finishes make it a prestigious calibre. The nickel silver main plate is sand-blasted, circular-grained and then rhodium-plated. The bridges are sand-blasted, rubbed-down or "Côte de Genève" decorated, and, finally, rhodium-plated.
