In a season dominated by water sports, sunny getaways and spectacular accessories that are displayed on tanned wrists, Girard-Perregaux and Bamford Watch Department are back in force with a collector’s item that transcends time: Deep Diver, a faithful reinterpretation of an iconic model from 1969, reissued for the summer of 2025.
Part of the Legacy Editions collection, this watch is available in a limited edition of only 350 pieces – a tribute to the elegance of marine sport and engineering perfection.
Originally released as the 9108, the Deep Diver was the Maison’s response to the growing desire for rugged watches designed for modern explorers. The red dial, the cushion case with 14-faceted bezel and the revolutionary Gyromatic movement redefined the concept of innovation in watchmaking at the time.
DOXA brings back a classic: the new SUB 250T GMT
Deep Diver in version 2025
The 2025 version brings back that vintage spirit, in a contemporary form, with a titanium case resistant to a depth of 200 meters. The updated dimensions – 40.30 mm x 38.00 mm, with a thickness of 13.91 mm – keep the iconic silhouette. Two fluted crowns, located at 2 and 4 o’clock, allow the inner bezel to be operated and the clock to be set.
The dial – vibrant, graphic and unmistakable – is inspired by the 1971 design, with a trapezoidal date window at 3 o’clock and bold accents of blue, orange and white. In low light, markings and tongues treated with luminescent emit an electric blue, suggesting the depth of night waters.
At the heart of the piece pulsates the GP03300 calibre, an automatic movement manufactured entirely in-house, at Girard-Perregaux, in La Chaux-de-Fonds. With a 46-hour power reserve and finishes of perfect beauty – circular Côtes de Genève, linear decoration on the bridges, polished edges and golden engravings – the mechanism can be admired through the metallic blue sapphire cover, decorated with a trident: a tribute to Neptune, the Roman god of the seas.
The Deep Diver comes with a sporty blue rubber strap and a second option, in a vibrant shade of orange – for bold contrast and impeccable adaptability to summer style. MSRP: $15,100 (excl. VAT).
