By TLex CLERC unveil a sublime new version of the Hydroscaph LE Central Chrono in STEEL at the JCK show in Vegas. The Hydroscaph has one of the if not the most complex luxury dive watch cases on the market with a total of 103 parts. Complexities aside it still remains a tough and highly efficient design that thanks to lateral reinforcement guarantees its water resistance to 500 meters.
CLERC's signature octagonal-shaped rotating bezel takes care of dive time. It is operable via a retractable flap on a dedicated crown integrated into the case. Returning the flap to its initial position securely locks the bezel, thus avoiding any risk of accidental deregulation while diving. The mobile lugs ensure a perfect fit on all wrist sizes and shapes, including over a diving suit.
The watch is available in three finishes: high-density steel, black DLC and 18K Rose Gold / black DLC Steel. Each of the three versions is fitted with a rubber or rubber-treated hornback crocodile strap with a folding clasps. The watch is issued in limited series of 500 pieces.
