Sportster 46 mm SAGUARO Self-winding Chronograph, Water-resistant to 1,000 metres
This new Sportster chronograph has been independently tested and certified by Chronofiable as water-resistant to 100 atmospheres. Which means it will survive the massive pressures one kilometre under water.

Nobody need go that deep, but they can be confident that this watch will, if necessary, endure every imaginable water-sport from barefoot waterskiing to cliff-diving. Nor need they worry about the calf-leather strap. It's rubberized and waterproof. In addition, the chronograph is functional up to a 100 meters under water.
This hyperbathic water-resistance is achieved by the remarkable design of the Sportster case, which packs no less than 140 grams of red gold 5N. The addition of a screw-down crown and chronograph buttons as well as a 5mm-thick glass multiplied the water-resistance by 10. The SAGUARO is the only diving watch to show off its movement through a 4mm-thick sapphire glass on its back. The crown and buttons are topped by rubber pads.
The chronograph is BOVET's classic Sportster configuration of three subdials: hours and minutes counters with running seconds. The large date, Art Deco numerals, the tachometer and pulsometer scales demonstrate that functionality need not compromise stylishness.
