A symbol of Marseille

On a professional diving watch, one reads the minutes before the hours. It is the minute hand that carries the greatest informational weight underwater — the hand that moves most rapidly, the one that governs the rhythm of the dive. It is with this distinction that Jacques Bianchi designed the JB200 for the needs of professional and combat divers of the French Navy.

The Jacques Bianchi JB200 continues the traditions established by the military-issue variants of the 1980s, and features a 42mm case measuring only 12mm thick, allowing a professional diving watch to remain highly legible without interfering with other wrist-mounted diving gear. It is crafted in a 316L stainless steel case, animated by alternating brushed and polished finishes. Its automatic movement beating within, is equipped with 25 jewels and operates at 4 hertz with a 42-hour power reserve, ensures reliability and autonomy in any diving environment.
