The C60 Sapphire: the difference is clear

Engineered for the deep – with a dial that aims for the stars.

You never forget the first time you see the C60 Sapphire, whether that’s the original blue version or the more recent black edition. Both carry a dial made from pure sapphire, machined to a thickness of less than a millimetre.

On the C60 Sapphire, the 0.6mm thick sapphire dial is backed by a sliver of polycarbonate to give it a seductive blue shade.

For the C60 Sapphire Black, the sapphire is exposed to both a vapour of silver and carbon graphite, and one of silicon oxide. The result is a mesmerising ‘smoked’ dial just 0.8mm thick.

Both dials let you see the workings of the Swiss automatic movement from the front – and through the transparent case back.

But sapphire isn’t just beautiful to look at. It’s also highly transparent and incredibly tough – in fact, it’s the third-strongest mineral in the world. So that when you put the C60 Sapphire through its paces, it won’t crack under pressure.

And as a professional-grade dive watch, it’s able to function at depths of 600m.

Which means whether you’re exploring the deep or just going for a stroll, you’ll be wearing a watch that’s in a league of its own – clearly.
