Bausele, known for its traditional military-spec timepieces, has now ventured into colorful designs with the launch of its Sydney Diver: Endless Sunrise collection. This new series of dive watches draws inspiration from the picturesque sunrise swims in the Australian oceans, offering a unique and captivating experience to watch enthusiasts.
The limited edition Sydney Diver: Endless Sunrise collection was unveiled in Geneva and features a purpose-built design. The watches are being offered through a promotional sale to celebrate the launch.
Innovative Design and Construction
The Bausele Sydney Diver: Endless Sunrise series is made from 316L stainless steel featuring a matte sandblasted finish. The watch has a purpose-built design with a 39.5 mm diameter case. The double-domed sapphire crystal not only adds a touch of elegance but also provides practical protection for the luminous two-layer sandwich-style dial. The color palette of the watch features yellow, orange, blue, and a fully luminous white dial, which reflects the vibrant hues of an Australian sunrise swim. The watch is capable of withstanding water pressure up to 200 meters. In addition, the tip of the winding crown features a unique design element – a clear capsule filled with sand particles from Bausele Founder Christophe Hopper’s home beach in Manly, Australia. This adds a personal touch to the watch and distinguishes it from other watches with a simple logo on the crown.
Diverse Dial Variations
The watch comes in four dial variations that cater to different preferences. The yellow, orange, and blue dials have luminous hour markers, while the white dial has a fully luminous display with contrasting black indexes. The design of the hands remains consistent across all models, with slight color variations to match the overall aesthetic. These different dial options allow collectors to choose a timepiece that reflects their style, whether vibrant and bold or classic and luminous.
Swiss Precision and Movement
The Sydney Diver: Endless Sunrise collection is powered by the reliable Swiss-made Sellita SW200-1automatic movement, known for its accuracy and durability. This movement operates at a frequency of 28,800vph (4 Hz) and has a power reserve of approximately 38 hours, ensuring precise timekeeping. The choice of a trusted Swiss movement, combined with the brand’s commitment to quality, contributes to the collection’s slightly higher price point, setting it apart from Bausele’s entry-level offerings.
Versatile Straps and Bracelets
Each watch in the collection is accompanied by a stainless steel Milanese mesh bracelet and an orange rubber strap, providing versatility in styling. The articulating end links on the steel bracelet offer flexibility and integration with the case, enhancing the overall look of the watch. The orange rubber strap, which features embossed text, comes with a butterfly-style stainless steel folding clasp that adds comfort and security. Both options come with integrated quick-release spring bars, making it easy and tool-free to change the strap.
Conclusion
The Sydney Diver: Endless Sunrise collection breaks away from traditional dive watches by incorporating vibrant colors into a purpose-driven design. The range is available in limited editions and is on a special promotional sale, inviting watch enthusiasts to embrace a playful approach to collecting watches. The collection reflects the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship and innovation. It is a captivating addition to the world of dive watches, inspired by a sunrise swim in the oceans that surround Australia.
