DEPTHMASTER BRONZE
$1,845.00
The Depthmaster Bronze is a horological marvel that melds purpose, strength, and sophistication. Launched in 1965, the original Depthmaster was the first dive watch rated for 1,000 meters, a testament to Nivada Grenchen’s innovative spirit. Crafted from CuAl8 copper-aluminum bronze, this watch evolves uniquely over time, influenced by the wearer’s environment and skin chemistry. Its patina, a hallmark of individuality, can be restored to its original luster, symbolizing renewal.
Featuring a 39mm cushion case, black ceramic bezel, and iconic 'Art Deco' numerals, the Depthmaster Bronze combines ruggedness with sport-chic elegance. With versatile strap options and a reliable SOPROD P024 automatic movement, this watch is water-resistant to 1,000 meters, making it an ideal companion for any adventure. The Depthmaster Bronze is not just a timepiece but a reflection of personal journeys and timeless elegance.
For its latest release, Nivada Grenchen has developed a bronze version of the Depthmaster, still waterproof to 1,000 meters but with a ceramic bezel, not only content with the deep sea but also enjoying urban diving. Versatile, it transitions from sea to land and adorns the wrist elegantly. Playing with a wide choice of straps, it transforms itself; during the day in sport mode ready to dive with a Rubber Tropic strap and in the evening in a dressed-up mode with a leather strap. There are no less than 7 interchangeable straps offered to match your desires.

The Depthmaster Bronze draws its spirit from the golden era of tool watches when timepieces weren’t just accessories but vital instruments for adventurers and divers. This reinterpretation pays tribute to the original 1960s Depthmaster, famed for its legendary 1,000-meter depth rating, while introducing a raw, elemental material into the equation: bronze.
Chosen for its historic connection to nautical exploration, the CuAl8 bronze alloy evokes old-world diving helmets and marine instruments. As it patinates over time, it tells a personal story reacting to the wearer’s environment, lifestyle, and the air they breathe. The cushion-shaped case, bold dial layout, and oversized markers are all hallmarks of mid-century dive watch design, updated here with modern materials and refined execution.
