1 6 5 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I Bucherer says: “I am delighted to bring our 130- year-old brand to London. This city represents heritage like no other, yet at the same time it is at the centre of so many exciting new ideas that spread to the wider world. London is the perfect place to begin this fresh chapter of my family’s business.” Lucerne is where the magic takes place and the Patravi ScubaTec is a fine example of the Manufacture’s formidable craftsmanship and technological know-how. The diving watch’s colour combination reflects the city of Lucerne – the distinctive blue of the dial evokes Lake Lucerne as well as referencing the principal colour on Lucerne’s municipal coat. The gold can be linked to Lucerne’s obvious Baroque influences. Cases made from precious gold are a characteristic specialty for Carl F. Bucherer. This is also true for sporty timepieces like this Patravi ScubaTec diving watch, first showcased in 2015. It is water resistant to a massive 500 metres and features an automatic helium outlet valve and crown protection in blackened titanium. At the heart of the watch is the CFB 1950.1 automatic movement, which is chronometer-certified. Mounted on a rubber strap with an integrated diving extension on the adjustable folding clasp, the Patravi ScubaTec is a stylish and dependable companion whether in the depths of the ocean or the midst of the city.
