H2O KALMAR 2 OCEANICTIME SPECIAL EDITION
This special edition includes
- the original, orange ISOFRANE rubber strap free of charge (RSP: 100 Euro)
- The H2O bezel remover free of charge
(IMPORTANT NOTICE: We recommend to use the bezel remover with the KALMAR 2 series /
never use this tool with the H2O ORCA series as the bezel could not be removed with this tool)
The H2O KALMAR 2 OCEANICTIME will be assembled in Germany with 2-3 weeks only.
(BY TLEX)
H2O KALMAR 2 OCEANICTIME 8000M
Let’s get straight to the watch’s dimensions: The case has a diameter of 42.5mm, the bezel a diameter of 44mm while the overall-length is 53.4mm and the total thickness of the watch (including the crystal) is just 21.60mm.
One of the contributing factors that allowed H2O to engineer this watch with such a modest thickness in relation to its WR, was the use of Grade 5 Titanium, which has been used for the main case and its components.
Grade 5 Titanium consists of 6% Aluminum and 4% Vanadium and has a considerably higher strength than Titanium Grade 2 or Stainless Steel 316L. It has an excellent combination of both strength and corrosion-resistance. Titanium Grade 2 (by comparison) is more commonly used in watch-making as it is not so damaging to case-making machinery and so is easier and less expensive to work with. Titanium Grade 5, however is far more tricky and costly to produce.
Divers features include: an automatic Helium Escape Valve (9 o’clock), a Titanium Grade 5 Ti divers bezel with a black ceramic inlay or the Turbine bezel, a solid screwdown Grade 5 Ti caseback and an 8mm OT diver signed screwdown crown.
Three different bezel styles could be chosen:
- Square bezel with 15sec dive scale ceramic inlay filled with Superluminove BGW9
- Square bezel with minimalistic ceramic inlay
- Solid titanium turbine bezel with 15sec dive scale filled with Superluminova BGW9
Pressure-resistance is up to 800 bar, the equivalent of 8000 meters. Testing was conducted by a leading German research company that is the only facility of its type in Germany capable of pressure testing to 4000 bar!
Along with a 4.5mm thick Titanium Grade 5 caseback, a 8.25mm thick, slightly domed Sapphire crystal helped the watch resist the enormous pressures that were endured during testing - while giving the watch a nice clean look and offering an undistorted view of the dial, below.
The dial is in a high-gloss deep-black. While it incorporates the Kalmar’s hallmark chromed double hour markers, it has been designed to be minimal with the deletion of all minute markers, date and text. Complementing the hour markers are the H2O cresting wave logo and the OceanicTime Diver icon in chrome.
Bright gloss-orange ‘8000M’ text makes a bold statement about the watch’s incredible depth-rating while echoing the color of the prominent minute hand. All hands and markers are filled with BGW9 SLN.
We have created three wristshots to give you a better impression how the H2O Kalmar II OceanicTime Special Edition 8000M will wear on your wrist. The shown wrist size is 17cm or 6.7".
Standard accessories of the watch include:
- handmade 5mm thick black calfskin strap with white contrast stitching
- H2O CNC Grade 5 Titanium buckle
- 2x hex-screw driver
- security case
- warranty card
This special edition included additionally free of charge
- Orange ISOFRANE rubber strap (RSP: 100 Euro)
- H2O BEZEL REMOVER

H2O CNC Equipment
Yesterday a SWISS CNC milling center was added into our H2O watch company. This high end CNC with RSP of USD200.000 was added to offer my H2O friends and customers UNLIMITED new customization options in future. It will allow me to produce dials, case backs, movement holder, bezels and maybe even complete watch cases in small QTY or even on customer idea and request.
For the dial finishing we have already a SWISS tampon printing machine (RSP USD18.000) and in my workshop a automatic 4 color printing machine (RSP USD50.000).
What is on my list for future products? custom rotors, bridges and wheels, new dials, custom case backs and something I always had in my mind since years:
The H2O belt with roller buckle!
What could you think about as YOUR custom item?
Only one thing is needed now: TIME!
H2O is now only 1-2 steps away from full manufacturing of complete watches in high end quality.
