French brand Jacques Bianchi has introduced a new collection of diving watches JB200 Aquastrike
French brand Jacques Bianchi has unveiled (via NotebookCheck) an updated collection of JB200 Aquastrike diving watches, which were first created for the French Navy in the 1980s.
The new models retain the classic design of a diver's watch, with large luminous markers, a comfortable bezel and a sporty case. However, the watches are now available in bright dial colors such as blue, yellow, orange and green.
The watch features a 42mm 316L stainless steel case with a unidirectional rotating bezel with luminescent markers. The dial features Super-LumiNova-coated hands and indexes, as well as a date window at 3:00. The sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating provides additional protection.
The watch is powered by a Swiss automatic Soprod P024 movement that beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour, has 25 jewels and a power reserve of 38 hours. The model is water resistant to 200 meters, making it ideal for diving.
The collection offers two strap options: a brushed stainless steel bracelet and a rubber strap with a steel clasp. The watch is available for pre-order on the brand's official website and costs €825 excluding VAT. Deliveries will begin in July 2025.
