Beuchat is a dive equipment company founded in Marseille in 1934. In the 1990s, however, they were commissioned to produce watches for the French Navy, and the result was this ultimate diving machine. The watch means business, boasting an impressive 1000 m depth rating. The case design is robust and practical, as is the dial, with high-contrast markers, hands, and layout for maximum legibility. Despite its 42 mm case, the lug-to-lug is only 45 mm, making it a joy to wear even on smaller wrists.
