The Tiburon not only boasts several aesthetically pleasing vintage design cues but also all the state-of-the-art dive-watchmaking technologies and know-how that we have come to expect from H2O Watch.
The Tiburon is characterized by its case which has its winding crown discretely nestled in the middle of a specially hinged bottom lug at 6 o’clock.
The 42mm Stainless steel case which is home to a Swiss ETA 2824-2 automatic movement is fitted with an old school coin-edge diver’s bezel and a vintage-style double domed Sapphire crystal.
The case has a water-resistance of 500 meters (300m with its Sapphire back) thanks to the use of double VITON case-back gaskets as well as H2O’s triple sealed crown-system.
H2O engineered the Tiburon to be a comfortable wrist companion. With a height between 11.00 and 12.00 mm depending on the case back this goal has been perfectly achieved.
The use of a hinged bottom lug further ensures that the Tiburon perfectly wraps around your wrist.
The case is not without its vintage charm however much of the Tiburon’s retro-liciousness is owed to its dial which features a combination of over-sized triangular markers with engraved Arabic numeral (3,6,9,12) and these massive harpoon hands.
BTW there is a simpler dial variant available with circular and baton-shaped markers, although I’m not sure why anyone in their right mind would choose that one over the lovely triangles and harpoons. ;)
As with any H2O, customization plays its part - two different dial designs with each in black or blue, five different handsets, and a choice of a closed or Sapphire display case-back should provide enough personal preferences.
The H2O Tiburon will be launched without pre-order as all parts are already in stock. As a result several parts, like dials and inlays, will only be available in limited quantities.
Starting 01.04.2019 to 30.04.2019, H2O Watch will have a special introduction package at reduced price plus an attractive strap bundle that includes:
1. Black leather strap (also incl.in the standard package)
2. Brown leather strap (only incl.free of charge during the 4-week intro)
3. Black racing leather strap (only incl.free of charge during the 4-week intro)
4. Mesh bracelet (only included free of charge during the 4-week intro)
5. Black seatbelt NATO strap (only incl.free of charge during the 4-week intro)
After the 4-week introduction period is closed the H2O Tiburon will be individually assembled and tested by H2O Watch’s watchmaker in Germany. They will start shipping by the end of May.
