The new Aquascope watch released by JeanRichard enables you to go back into the 1960s, when the desire for bold personal expression drove art, fashion and design into new frontiers. With round dial and curvaceous tonneau case, the JeanRichard Aquascope model integrates new technology with the essence of 1960s design. To express the trend of that decade of mini skirts and bell bottoms, the modern Aquascope also employs the original’s monoblock case to protect dual crowns.

Specially produced in-house, the Aquascope has a stainless steel case measuring 40mm*44.5mm. The polished and satin-finished case features an external bidirectional rotating black bezel, in the design of the 1960s original as well. Moreover, the bezel serves second-duty to indicate a remaining dive time. It is conceived with notch finish to ensure accurate setting. There is a safety system designed by JeanRichard to prevent ill-timed movements from an unexpected impact. The bezel will be locked, when the crown at 9 o’clock is screwed in. The hour and minute hands, as well as the date setting, are sported with the screw-down crown at 3 o’clock. The Arabic numerals and indexes treated with luminescent graduation allows for the necessary information to be read accurately in the dark and in deep waters.

Beating inside the watch is the JeanRichard’s in-house caliber JR1000 movement, embellished with 27 jewels. It offers a 48-hour power reserve. The water-resistance is up to 300 meters.

There are several variations available for the new Aquascope timepiece: black polished or deep blue dial with black or white structured calfskin strap. The folding buckle is in polished stainless steel. Retail is SFr. 6900.
