With the new Diverscope JR1000 Goldwaters, the Manufacture JeanRichard has chosen to launch a watch combining a traditional and precious metal with a modern material.

The crowns are in pink gold, whilst both case and bezel are in stainless steel coated with vulcanised rubber. The last fifteen minutes of the diving time can be checked on the golden part of the internal rotating bezel.

Vulcanised rubber is one kind of rubber developed initially by the automobile industry to increase the resistance of car tyres to major temperature variations. It has since been used to design high-tech equipment like professional diving masks. Vulcanised rubber properties give tremendous stability to any kind of shape made from it. It does not scratch and is highly resistant to abrasion and UV rays. Thanks
to the density of the rubber and the use of components in titanium, more than 10% is saved on the weight of the watch.

JeanRichard demonstrates its attention to detail by enhancing the beauty of the Diverscope JR1000 Goldwaters with a sandblasted finishing. This final step towards ultimate refinement produces a perfectly uniform rubber surface for both case and bezel, resulting in a soft and satin finish.

Like all the other watches of the brand, the Diverscope JR1000 Goldwaters is equipped with JeanRichard's in-house manufactured calibre, entirely developed and produced in its own workshops. Designed as much for diving enthusiasts as for individuals who like casual but distinctive design at the same time, the Diverscope JR1000 Goldwaters is water-resistant to 300 metres. This performance is made possible thanks to the use of special components, such as screwed crowns or its sapphire crystal which is two and a half times thicker than standard. Each watch is tested extensively.

With this new model, JeanRichard has paid attention to the finest details, both in terms of technique and design. In the dark as in deep waters, luminescent indexes and Arabic numerals illuminate the dial to make it more legible.

The two pink gold crowns have clear and distinct functions. The crown at 3 o'clock activates the hour and minute as well as the date setting; the crown at 9 o'clock is linked intrinsically to diving, as it controls the positioning of the bidirectional bezel - adjusting this ring on the case records the remaining diving time. The crowns are screwed for safety reasons.

Each watch comes with two straps, one in rubber and one in rubber-coated alligator.

About JeanRichard

Based in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, JeanRichard benefits from a wide creative and technical independence, which results in the development of innovative in house manufactured movements and cases. JeanRichard is one of the few Swiss watch brands which entirely produce their own mechanical movements within their Manufacture. With roots dating back to the watch genious Daniel JeanRichard in 1681 –he is known as a founder of this industry in the region– the brand was acquired by the Sowind group at the end of the 20th century.

Since then, JeanRichard successfully reinterprets time, expressing it in a contemporary and energetic way inspired by a tradition of pioneering spirit. Diverscope  JR1000, 2TimeZones, Paramount, Bressel, Chronoscope, sport models created for its partner MV Agusta: each JeanRichard watch asserts a strong identity. All its collections share an exceptional know-how and passion for new horizons.

JeanRichard currently retails in more than 200 outlets in over 35 countries.
