Bremont has partnered with Laird Hamilton to design a ‘Waterman Apex’ dive watch. The watch features a uni-directional GMT bezel, modified caliber 11 ½" BE-92-AV automatic movement within an anti-shock mount, and a 42-hour battery life. The watch was designed to raise awareness surrounding ocean conservation and protecting sea life and is referenced on the model through a pattern of ocean waves and a shark fin on the rotor.
Interested consumers can visit the Bremont website to learn more about the ‘Waterman Apex,’ which has a base price of $5,095 USD. All proceeds from the watch will be donated to the Bimini Biological Field Station Foundation, a registered non-profit organization dedicated to shark research and providing eco-tourism trips.
