Jacques Bianchi – JB 200 – Pink version
A reprint of the diving watch used by the French Navy. JB 200 was created by master craftsman Jacques Bianchi in the 1980s. It can be recognized by its unique dial, which is engraved with the silhouette of the diver in action. It is part of the great watchmaking history of "French Skin Divers". The design of the historic JB 200's destroy case is reminiscent of a diving watch in the 1970s at first glance, between the skills of the "skin diver" of the 1960s and the sturdiness of the divers of the 1980s. In order to equip a new model with an automatic movement—necessarily thicker than a quartz movement—the proportions must be re-examined and improved. The 42 mm crown diameter of the case remains the same, but a lengthy adjustment process is required to preserve the spirit of the historical shape and the technical requirements imposed by the integration of the automatic movement.

The weaving inspiration is kept simple in this piece, with five rivets from the Renault FT tank placed on the shoulder strap. The time is set to 7:22 (or 19:22) of the year the Tank Louis Cartier was first released.

The skeleton movement made by Roger Dubuis in Geneva is the essence of the extraordinary performance of the Excalibur series. Excalibur watches comply with Poinçon de Genève, one of the most respected certifications of Haute Horlogerie, and are designed to resemble contemporary art. Every part is finished by hand, and the watch is a symbol of passion. The works of highly skilled craftsmen are at the forefront of each watch and have a direct understanding of the creative mechanisms that make these works more vivid than ever.
Durability and legibility of the 41 mm diameter size, and comfortable to wear: you will find these characteristics in the U50 S pink dial. From a visual point of view, this dive watch is eye-catching with its distinctive pink dial design and the display focusing on essentials. When talking about its characteristics, we always pay attention to the typical SINN characteristics. Therefore, the case and crown are made of high-strength, seawater-resistant German submarine steel with a black hard coating. This type of steel is not only noticeable because of its extremely high strength and excellent non-magnetic properties, but also because of its particularly high seawater resistance. We designed the rotating bezel to fix it in the case. Since it may be subjected to a lot of pressure during use, we also use TEGIMENT technology to harden the surface to make it particularly scratch-resistant.
