The innovative Swiss watchmaker designed its first diving timepiece after being inspired by the octopus as a symbol for conquering great depths. RJ-Romain-Jerome achieved its goal of being different both aesthetically as well as technically with its latest model from the Titanic-DNA Collection. RJ created a true horological work of art for everyday wear and also as a useful tool for divers.
The Chopard Replica Watchese Octopus is named after the ocean giant who became a powerful icon in Jules Verne’s novel Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea. This distance, which is probably unique, can be 888 feet deep (270 meters). It's not that RJ couldn't reach 900 feet, or even greater depths, but because this model is about the number 8. Why? You probably guessed it. There are eight screws with octagon heads on the 46mm case and on the back of the case which features a hand-engraved Octopus. Eight rivets decorate the two screw-locked crowns. The Octopus Edition is limited to 888 pieces.Chopard Replica Watches
There are two crowns, one at each 9 o'clock position. The first crown adjusts the time while the second controls a rotating unidirectional sapphire bezel which indicates elapsed time with its engraved 5-minute graduation. The dial has a great readability thanks to the Superluminova blue emission on hour markers and luminescent hands. The black rubber strap has a cool feature. The interior of the strap has suction cups that resemble the arms of an Octopus.
The notched bezel on the Octopus watch is made from Titanic-DNA steel, which has been oxidized and stabilised. The Octopus dial also features another RJ signature: the large X shape intersection. The self-winding RJ002-A2 movement powers the watch. It oscillates at 28,800 vibrations an hour, and has 42 hours of reserve power.
