A dependable tool watch designed for functional use in and around the water. Whether exploring a remote beach or tying a palomar knot in the pouring rain, this automatic watch is prepared to resist water intrusion down to 200 meters below surface. with a grip-able Uni-directional bezel, oversized crown, and luminous hands & indexes, rest assured you will be able to utilize this watch in the harshest conditions. This model follows the heritage of divers’ watches of the mid-twentieth century in its dimensions, function, and style.
Chronometer Certification
Typsim 200M-C watches are chronometers bearing the Tête de Vipère, tested and certified in the historical watchmaking capital of France, Besançon, at the Observatoire de Besançon. While Observatoire de Besançon has been testing timepieces since 1885, only several hundred watches are accepted each year making this an exclusive honor. Historically, the Observatoire de Besaçon used a Lunette Meridienne instrument to measure elapsed time through precise observation of solar bodies passing through the meridian. This one axis instrument sits on a dedicated, three-story, solid foundation – as do the reference piers outside the building – to maintain instrument stability. Comparing the elapsed time on the watch with the movement of solar bodies allowed the observatory to calculate the rate to the tenth of a second. Today, Observatoire de Besaçon uses three interrelated atomic clocks located in a thermally and seismically isolated room to synchronize the various clocks throughout the laboratory. These clocks are a part of the French national and international atomic clock organizations, setting the most precise time around the world.
régulariser
Each complete watch is rigorously tested and adjusted in our Seattle workshop for over 21-days before it is delivered to the Observatoire de Besançon for 15-days of testing in 5-positions at 3-temperatures in accordance with ISO 3159-2009. The test is difficult to say the least with, on average, only 70% of the watches submitted passing. Typsim watches have achieved a 95% success rate. Upon completion successful watch movements receive the Tête de Vipère hallmark.
Swiss Chronometer Movement
Fundamental to the longevity of a watch is a dependable, serviceable, and precise movement. The chronometer grade Sellita SW300-1 meets the highest standards of timekeeping and is built to exceptional tolerances. It is an automatic movement beating at 28,800 beat/hour (or 4hz), provides a 42-hour power reserve, and robust anti-shock system.
200 Meters Water Resistance
Made for the water, the Typsim 200M achieves 20 ATM (200 meters) of water resistance, the rating required for high-diving, high-impact water sports, and scuba diving. Unlike water resistant technology of the 60’s, this modern use of an optical acrylic crystal, triple gasketed screw down crown, and screw down case back is rigorously engineered and tested to current standards so you can rest assured to wear your watch in the water.
True Gilt Dial
Nothing captures craftsmanship like a negative-relief, galvanically-coated, gilt dial. This laborious, multistep process exposes the polished dial plate for subtle depth and a dynamic play of light.
Optical Acrylic Crystal
Clarity and legibility are achieved with a domed, optical acrylic crystal. Otherwise known as Hesalite or Plexiglas, this material offers superior characteristics – highly impact resistant, unclouded edge-to-edge clarity, and material stability for water resistance. Acrylic crystals tell the stories of ownership and are a charming element of luxury, vintage watches.
Exclusive Luminescence Compound
In stark contrast to an industry of immutable materials, Typsim celebrates the story watches tell through intentional material selection. Working with RC Tritec, the maker of Swiss SuperLuminova, Typsim has created an exclusive luminescence compound that will naturally patina with time. Starting out the slightest shade of off-white, the luminous plots will develop a creamy-to-yellow hue depending on wear. Don’t worry, we’re not using radioactive materials.
Drilled and Chamfered Lugs
Design details matter. Typsim’s 200M has drilled and chamfered lugs which offer bracelet security, easy strap changes, and reduction of bulk on the wrist. Vintage inspiration, modern engineering – ultimate wearability.
5-Link Riveted Bracelet
Form, durability, and comfort intersect in the design of the Typsim bracelet. The tapered form focuses attention on the watch head while reducing its overall weight and presence. With 5-links riveted together the textural composition of the bracelet compliments the texture of the bezel and modern, minimalism of the dial all while wearing silky smooth on your wrist.
