Aeronaval Instruments Manufacture 7007, Kraken & Leviatán

By TLex Introducing Aeronaval Instruments Manufacture, a Spanish based company specializing in handmade navigation instruments for the military. Their first collection of wristwatches, which includes a 12'000 meter automatic dive watch, if proven will not only smash the current depth record held by the CX20'000 Feet by 6'000 meters, but promises even to beat the Rolex Deep Sea Special's mega depth rating, which was a prototype watch built by Rolex that went some 10'916 meters into the Marianas Trench.



I should also add that at the moment I have no details of how the incredible 12'000m water-resistance was tested or achieved, but know that dive watch cases that are made up of dual parts can achieve added resistance, which comes from the compression of the dual case parts; also the enormous domed crystal will go some way to more evenly distributing pressure.



















The collection consists of three models with three depth ratings 1'000m, 5'000m and 12'000m. Anti-magnetic capabilities from 2'000, 7'000 and 15'000 Gauss. From what I gather the cases are triple construction from marine grade stainless steel (pvd also available). The crystal is available as sapphire or 15mm polycarbonate. As well as numerous dial colors their will also be a total 8 different handsets.. All watches will be fitted with automatic movements. Stay tuned for more.
