C-Type Helium

Striking shapes, distinctive colours and successful innovative features give this extraordinary chronograph its uniqueness and its exceptional character.  Moreover, the high-quality titanium of the watch guarantees its lightness on your wrist. The Paul Picot 48mm C-Type is opening a new chapter on models functions, aiming particularly at professional divers. The brand presents the new C-Type 48mm equipped with a helium valve.

Professional divers spend days into pressurised chambers where they breathe chemical mix of gas, including helium. Helium is made of very small and lightweight atoms that can penetrate into the watches and make an overpressure. When the pressure is reduced, the helium atoms will distend and won't be able to escape the watch. The helium valve permits it and avoids damages related to overpressure.

Two models are presented and are in all-titanium (deployment buckle also), produced in limited editions of 500 pieces each. In the first version, which is entirely in the colour of titanium, only the bezel is edged with black, while, in the second version, the tips, horns and bezel are also black.
