Dive watch specialist Spinnaker has introduced the Piccard, a new timepiece inspired by Jacques Piccard, who with Don Walsh, piloted the Trieste Bathyscaphe to the bottom of the Mariana Trench in 1960.
Swiss-designed and Italian-built, the deep-diving research craft reached a record depth of about 10,911 metres. It was the first crewed vessel to reach the bottom of the Challenger Deep, the deepest known seabed on Earth.
The Piccard‘s case nods in the direction of a famous bubble lensed diver timepiece that was tested aboard the Trieste. Crafted from marine grade 316L stainless steel, the super domed sapphire crystal lens mimics the characteristic silhouette of the Piccard, its Ultra Domed scratch resistant Sapphire lens benefiting from an anti-reflective coating. The caseback is engraved with a design of the Bathyscaphe.
