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.

RJ-Romain Jerome - DeLorean-DNA















RJ-Romain Jerome - DeLorean-DNA Limited Edition NEW

JOURNEY IN TIME WITH RJ AND ITS DELOREAN-DNA!

What happens when the greatest movie automobile legend merges its DNA with an avant-garde watchmaking Maison? What should one expect from the marriage of time and speed, technical virtuosity and the magic of cinema? In collaboration with the DeLorean Motor Company, RJ-Romain Jerome unveils a new timepiece in tribute to an iconic Eighties legend – the DeLorean automobile. This science-fiction spiked meeting is giving birth to a limited edition featuring details strongly reminiscent of the spectacular aesthetic of the legendary car. 













 




As the central hero of one of the most memorable trilogies in the history of cinema, the DeLorean and its amazing design have fascinated generations of viewers. With its long-lasting materials and reinforced safety measures, the DeLorean car was already ahead of its time when it came out in 1981. With its rear engine, gull-wing doors and brushed stainless steel bodywork, its legendary allure made a huge impression to an entire era.

It was RJ-Romain Jerome’s wish that its DeLorean-DNA remains true to the car’s inimitable aesthetic appeal. Entirely made of brushed stainless steel, this chronograph uses the same materials as the original bodywork of the DeLorean car, of which certain elements have been melted together with the steel of the bezel. The dial is engraved with cross-strut traverses picking up the iconic X-shaped design that has become a RJ-Romain Jerome brand signature. The ring surrounding the minute counter at 3 o’clock evokes the original design of the wheel rims, while the hands are inspired by automobile dashboards.

The small seconds dial has the same colours and look as the car’s tail-lights. A medallion engraved with a DeLorean adorns the case-back, along with the number of the watch, which is limited to 81 – a reference to the year the car was manufactured. In a final nod to the original model, the strap made of upholstery leather features anthracite grey stitching similar to the interior of the DeLorean car.

The DeLorean has remained engraved on collective memory due to its visionary concept and avant-garde design. There are only 6,500 left in the world and a very active community of fans and owners’ clubs has been built up around this famous car. Today, this tribe is joining that of watchmaking collectors for a watch that pays tribute to one of the major legends in the automative industry.
Are you ready for a journey of a lifetime with RJ-Romain Jerome?
