CLERC Hydroscaph Steel GMT

By TLex Introducing the latest iteration of the CLERC Hydroscaph Steel GMT, accented with eye catching blue GMT pointer and power-reserve indicator. We first saw the Hydroscaph Steel GMT in June 201O; then again as a revised version in February of this year after a bit of a face-lift and a new GMT dial highlighted with yellow pointer and power-reserve indicator. The Hydroscaph Steel GMT is part of the Hydroscaph family, which includes the Hydroscaph Titanium GMT, reviewed here last year, and the new Hydroscaph LE Central Chrono, which was featured earlier this year.



From CLERC When high-tech mechanical luxury meets sport… As one of the most sophisticated dive watches around, the new Hydroscaph Steel GMT, water-resistant to 1,000 metres, reinvents underwater sport. In steel, with or without a gold bezel or all in black, its ruggedness and energy will seduce modern-day adventurers in search of space and movement. With its new material, new colours and new dials, Hydroscaph Steel stands out as the flagship collection for Clerc Genève, while highlighting the features behind its success: a distinctive octagonal case and extreme legibility, even in the darkness of the deep.

It would make sense for BLANCPAIN to release a mechanical depth gauge to head up their diving series as have Jaeger-LeCoultre with their Master Compressor DIVING Pro Geographic or IWC with the DEEP TWO. Whatever the X Fathoms may be, it's quite a departure from the classic Fifty Fathoms, but one that promises to deliver something truly exceptional.
