Marine Royale Alarm
Torpedo Historiador Semanal
Prime Time Egos Chronograph Day & Date
Breguet’s Marine Royale 5847 comes with an alarm device that can only delight both amateur divers and aficionados of exceptional complications. Underwater tests confirm that sound travels better through water than through air.
With the new Torpedo Historiador Semanal (“Weekly Historian Torpedo”), Cuervo y Sobrinos brings to life again one of their most emblematic historic models. This watch is a revival on a modern note of the Cuervo y Sobrinos dating back to the 40s. The original mechanism was created and subsequently patented in 1944 by a Fontainemelon manufacturer of Swiss movements. Cuervo y Sobrinos was using this original movement during many years between 1945 and 1955. The Swiss Watch manufacturer decided to reproduce this calibre, creating their own module to enhance the original product. Two years’ research was devoted to developing this model and the result was well worth the effort.
Steel back with dodecagonal case in CENTURY black sapphire with 12 facets cut and polished by hand. Black dial with red oversized 8. Self-winding mechanical movement, COSC-certified chronometer. Black canvas strap with deployment clasp.
Sound waves require material support and their speed increases with the density of the environment. Sound travels about four times faster under than above water. Furthermore, as the underwater milieu is generally far less noisy than the aerial one, the alarm’s sound is perceived with greater clarity underwater.
Al2O3 The signature CENTURY sapphire is a jewel of eternal beauty whose facets have been hand cut and polished by our master craftsmen.
