CREPAS PROFESSIONEL 1200M iconic 80s Swiss Made Diver Watch
Extreme diver watch with automatic Swiss movement, sapphire glass, 316L stainless steel, ceramic bezel and solid braceletStory
CREPAS WATCHES is proud to launch the seventh CREPAS model on Kickstarter, a product which combines PROFESSIONEL’ characteristic design, marked by refined and vigorous features. The timepiece retains the brand’s most distinctive peculiarities, introducing remarkable additional elements such as ceramic inlay bezel, sapphire lens, automatic helium valve and solid 316L stainless steel.
CREPAS WATCHES designs and manufactures technical diving watches for extreme divers since twelve years ago. All the designs are inspired by old models that are currently unattainable for most collectors, due to their scarcity or very high prices. Our clients are watch collectors, amateur and professional divers, members of watch forums and private watch groups. This is the seventh time we offer a CREPAS design opens to a collective like Kickstater after the success of the Plongeur, Engelsfisch, Megamatic, Sea Project, Magnum Opus and Batiscafo models.
CREPAS WATCHES markets its designs directly to the final client, without intermediaries. Kickstarter is perfect for us to continue maintaining contact with the customer.
All watches will be assembled and tested in Switzerland. The assembly in Switzerland consists of preinspection of each component of the watch, assembly, running test and control of watertightness.
Our main priority is making our most demanding customers proud of wearing a CREPAS PROFESSIONEL timepiece, knowing it is extremely robust and well builded. That’s why we only use the finest components and available materials.

The ETA caliber 2824-2 is perhaps one of the most well-known and most recognized movements in the watch industry. It has been in production since 1982 and was based off the original Eterna caliber 1427. The “-2” designation indicates the generation. The 2824 is considered to be a “workhorse” movement by many watch enthusiasts. Most of the notorious Swiss watch companies use it or have used it. Among the advantages of this caliber is that the 2824-2 is a movement that any watchmaker could repair, its proven quality and durability and the accessibility to spare parts. We will use the standard grade.

The PROFESSIONEL model uses a 28,00mm diameter dial. There are three colors available: black, white and orange.
We use Superluminova Old Radium as it is the most vintage look and has a perfect tonality.
The minute and hour hands are a classic diving design. These hands give to the set a strong character.
As with the dial, the Superluminova used is the Old Radium.
The PROFESSIONEL has an inclined bezel insert made of ceramic. This inlay shows a 60 minutes scale. Pointed the triangule to the minute hands a 60 minutes lapse can be recorded.
Flat sapphire lens with AR coated on inner side and beveled edge.
The PROFESSIONEL uses Swiss Superluminova Old Radium on dials, hands and bezel insert. We have achieved a perfect balance between the dial, hands and bezel strength.
