The design, quality and functionality of the DAVOSA Ternos Professional divers’ watch have produced a large following of fans in the shortest time. What more can we offer? How about a design version in a strictly limited, 500-piece edition? The hallmark of the Black Suit is its black-on-black design, flat sapphire crystal and carbon-look back.

Ternos Pro Black Suit makes a bold statement. Above water, this big black, highly precise and characterful timepiece with a proud 42 mm-diameter, surgical steel case and height of 15.5 mm goes with everything. However, in the Black Suit, the case is hidden under an even more scratch-resistant, tougher and more resilient coating than PVD: black DLC plating. The case is topped by flat sapphire crystal with an inner anti-reflective coating.

Even the screw-down back has a surprise to offer: it boasts an elaborately structured carbon design and carries a limited-edition number as an additional feature of the DAVOSA Ternos Pro Black Suit. Quite the most suitable surroundings for the high-quality Swiss DAV 3021 automatic movement, based on a Sellita SW200 movement.


Dress code: Black Suit

The Black Suit proves that black can be multifaceted: a carefully coordinated combination of different textures makes all the difference here. Indices and hands with satined surfaces and a filling of black Super-Luminova create a subtle contrast against the structured, matt black dial.

Despite their black colour, the glossy figures of the minute scale are easily readable against the circular, matted bezel inlay of high-tech ceramic. The DAVOSA Ternos Pro Black Suit is completed by a DLC-plated or pure stainless-steel case, depending on the version, and a metal strap with screwed links, safety buckle and a diving extension.


Functional without compromises

Water resistance of up to 500 metres (50 ATM) allows for longer expeditions into deeper and darker waters. On your way back to the surface, you can rely fully on your DAVOSA Ternos Pro Black Suit thanks to its automatic helium valve at 9 o’clock.

The valve regulates pressure inside the watch and ensures continual pressure equalisation while resurfacing to prevent the sapphire crystal from being lifted out of its surround. Back on land, this piece of professional divers’ equipment is transformed into a timepiece with a classic design idiom and a modern look.

The limited-edition models come with a certificate in a varnished wooden presentation case.

HAUTLENCE – Concepts d’exception VORTEX Gamma Tron


HAUTLENCE Concepts d’exception VORTEX Gamma Tron

VORTEX 
Gamma Tron

Taking its name and inspiration from Steven Lisberger’s 1982 cult film TRON, the HAUTLENCE Vortex Gamma Tron is made with a revolutionary composite material hailing from the automotive and aerospace industry: HLLightColor. Charged with ceramic nanotube particles, HLLightColor can be body tinted rather than coated with colour. It can also be made phosphorescent, something which immediately appealed to HAUTLENCE, with the brand using it to accentuate the architectural lines of the case and further underline the references to the graphic universe of science-fiction classic TRON.

This highly stylised graphic universe, which employs a range of visual effects, inspired the lines of the Vortex Gamma Tron case, composed of six 3D sapphire crystals. Playing with the contrasts of colours — white for the case and blue for its edges — and light, with the outlines of its edges glowing in the dark, HAUTLENCE pays tribute to the iconic style of TRON. The Vortex Gamma Tron undergoes a metamorphosis when the light fades, including the brand’s Möbius symbol which also glows at the centre of the dial, turning on itself with each new hour.

The retrograde minute dial, varnished white and adorned with azure numerals, offers a large window onto the HL2.0 self-winding calibre which drives the Vortex Gamma Tron. Each of the 12 articulated links in the jumping hour chain features one of 12 white numerals.

The feature at the heart of the movement, the chain turns every 60 minutes, taking 3-4 seconds to move gently, with control, to avoid any shocks or loss of energy, whilst leaving enough time to admire the beauty of the movement and its mechanisms in action. The regulating organ is integrated into the mobile bridge-type calibre, with the change in position actuated by the display improving accuracy by statistically offsetting the effects of gravity.

The calibre HL2.0 is equipped with two barrels. The second barrel, dedicated exclusively to driving the complication, is continually reset by the main barrel, so that the optimal level of energy is available each time the hour changes. This double barrel system ensures the complex mechanisms are supplied independently, without affecting the watch’s ability to keep accurate time.

For the Vortex Gamma Tron strap, HAUTLENCE has opted for a high-tech loose-knit fabric, in white with blue top-stitching to match the colour codes of this model.
