Origins in seafaring
Marine watches follow in the tradition of the marine chronometers that were used for centuries to determine longitude at sea. This is where their typical features come from: High contrast, strong luminous material and robust cases. Many models also draw on design elements of historical naval instruments, from the Roman numeral dial layout to the characteristic hand shape.
Equipped for maritime use
Screw-down crowns, high water resistance and anti-magnetic construction are standard. A power reserve indicator or hacking seconds are often added to allow precise setting. For use on board, a rubber, textile or steel strap is recommended, as it copes better with salt water than leather.
