AV86 1956 Marine — Navy & Off White

The AV86 1956 Marine — a vintage-inspired dive watch honoring the French Navy's Marine Nationale, the first military divers to be issued purpose-built dive watches in 1956. Navy and off-white wave dial, acrylic bezel, 200m water resistance.

Colin's Take
This is the sleeper of the collection. 200m water resistance, double-domed sapphire, individually numbered case, and an acrylic bezel that gives it real vintage warmth instead of the cold shine of ceramic. The TMI VH31 quartz has a sweeping seconds hand, so it reads like an automatic on the wrist without the maintenance. Designed in Copenhagen. One available.
