Triton diving watches are unique and reliable

We tell you who should own a diving watch

If you're looking for a dive watch, there are many options on the market. But none offer the uniqueness and reliability of Triton dive watches.

As experienced divers, we know how important it is to own a watch you can rely on. A Triton diver's watch offers you just that and much more. Not only is it extremely robust and waterproof, but it's also precise and elegant.

Robustness and water resistance

Triton dive watches are built for extreme conditions and can withstand even the most demanding diving conditions. With a Triton dive watch, you can dive to depths of 300 meters without worrying about damaging your watch.

The cases are made of high-quality stainless steel and are covered with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal to ensure that your watch still looks like new even after many dives.

Precision and elegance

Every Triton diver's watch features an automatic movement that guarantees the highest precision. The watches also feature a date display and a power reserve of up to 38 hours.

Ribbons

Triton's straps are made from the highest quality materials, whether rubber, steel, or woven NATO straps. Here you can get a glimpse of what these straps look like and how they look on the corresponding watches.

Passion

The two watch enthusiasts and friends Philippe Friedmann and Jean Sebastian Coste - both collectors of vintage watches - became aware of the watch brand early on, especially through Jean Sebastian Coste's private hobby - diving - who was looking for a reliable watch with a historical background that would nevertheless stand out from the crowd.

During a trip to Algeria, Jean-Sebastian had the opportunity to purchase an original vintage model of the Triton, which ignited the fire in the collector's hearts of both friends and laid the foundation for the new beginning of the brand.

This watch fully met the expectations of a comfortable diver's watch that, apart from the masses, combined history with character.

Triton - considered an insider tip in watch circles at the time - had a short but no less interesting history.

Triton was produced from 1963 until the 1970s and distributed by Spirotechnique.

Triton's famous advertising slogan at the time was: "It owes nothing to fashion and everything to our experience with diving." ( free translation: "It owes nothing to fashion, but everything to our experience with diving" ). This clearly showed the seriousness of the watch's intended use.

After extensive research into the history and roots of the brand, the two watch enthusiasts were able to fulfill their dream and acquire the Triton brand, which until then had still been in family hands, and begin to successfully bring the Triton brand back to life.

Combined with the complexity of the design and the desire to be as close to the original as possible, Jean-Sebastian and Philippe recruited the best experts and manufacturing technicians and invested more than two years of development time into their "idea fixe", whose efforts paid off and resulted in the fascinating tool for divers: the Triton Subphotique.

Story

	The characteristic crown guard was developed and patented in 1963 by former aviation officer and watch enthusiast Jean René Parmentier (1921-1998). The Triton Spirotechnique, powered by an automatic ETA movement, was manufactured in France. In addition to the crown, the design of the bezel was particularly striking. The first digit of the two-digit minute display, in increments of ten, is typographically larger than the second. The so-called "roulette" date also ensured the Triton's high recognition. The date display alternates between red for even days and black for odd days.
	Here's a patent drawing of the aforementioned, distinctive crown. The reason for designing the crown and crown guard in this way was to prevent injuries caused by the classic crown and to avoid diving accidents caused by accidentally operating the crown.
	Here is one of the striking advertisements associated with Jacques Cousteau's "La Spirotechnique".
	Here's an advertisement highlighting the Triton's special features. Another interesting feature at the time was the ability to select the bezels for different applications.
	Here's one of Triton's most interesting advertisements from the late 1960s. As you can clearly see, the Triton was considered a professional diving tool and ranked at the higher end of the price range, ahead of several other diving watches designed for the same purpose at the time.

Conclusion

Triton's diving watches are unique and reliable. If you're looking for a watch that performs well not only in demanding diving conditions but also in everyday life, then a Triton diving watch is the perfect choice for you.

Invest in a Triton diver's watch and you won't regret it. This watch will serve you faithfully for many years and accompany you on every dive.
