ArtyA ‘Aqua Carbon Divers’ Collection

For Summer 2024, ArtyA unveils a new collection of diving watches—'Aqua Divers Carbon.' This limited series consists of 99 unique pieces, each crafted to stand out.

Each of the 99 watches is COSC-certified, featuring a sleek, sporty design with high-tech materials and an exclusive automatic movement made in the cradle of Swiss watchmaking. Each is water-resistant to 300 meters (30 ATM) and they all come in vibrant summer colors.

Timepieces that are not only trendy but also robust, yet light on the wrist, suitable for both the urban environment and adventures off the beaten path, in an office high up above the concrete jungle or down deep in the current exploring underwater kelp forests.

Following the steel and AquaSaphir® sapphire crystal models introduced in 2023, the Summer 2024 collection features a pioneering design where carbon is fused with high-tech colored resin. This creates a composite that is incredibly durable, shock, and pressure-resistant. The Aqua Divers Carbon watches are designed to maintain their vibrant colors throughout their lifetime, suitable for extreme sports enthusiasts and the everyday active lifestyle.

A case where every detail has been carefully thought out

The new 'Aqua Carbon Divers' series stands out with a newly designed 43mm case, showcasing numerous carefully considered details. The unidirectional rotating bezel has a slightly asymmetrical shape, reminiscent of an ocean wave. The finely crafted screw-down crown evokes a submarine hatch. 

This case is the product of combining carbon fibers with a colored resin matrix, machined after the composite is solidified under high pressure and high temperature. The appeal of this composite material is both physical and aesthetic. Its intriguing allure is enhanced by the random arrangement of fibers, giving each watch a unique visual vibe.

Lightweight and durable, this forged carbon sourced from the Italian racing car industry delivers exceptional strength while reducing weight on the wrist. Known for its corrosion resistance, carbon is also ideally suited for marine environments. While the specifications for a diving watch typically require water resistance up to 100 meters, each of the 99 unique pieces in the 'Aqua Carbon Divers' series has been individually tested to withstand up to 30 ATM, equivalent to a depth of 300 meters.

In black or in color – a dial to suit your tastes

Each unique piece in the 'Aqua Carbon Divers' collection features a dial meticulously crafted from a composite block of forged carbon and tinted high-tech resin. Designed for exceptional legibility, these dials boast a sober, efficient, and straightforward design, enhanced by Super LumiNova BGW9 highlights on the indexes, hands, and bezel for superior visibility under all circumstances.

The watchword is reliability

With hour, minute, and central second hands, plus a date window at 3 o'clock, the new ‘Aqua Carbon Divers’ are equipped with high-quality, Swiss Made automatic movements. Holding the coveted COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres – Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute) certification, deliver accuracy and a comfortable 42-hour power with the elegance of exclusive circular graining and rhodium-plated finishes.

Reliability was the watchword in designing the movement, ensuring precision and dependability even under the most extreme conditions. Customized by our ArtyOn department, they combine remarkable timekeeping and robustness, all while showcasing ArtyA’s artistic finesse.
