The oversized KAVENTSMANN Triggerfish Bronze A2 wrist watch has been pressure tested to 300 bar - enough to survive under the weight of 3,000m of water pressure and survived tests carried out by U.S. special forces soldiers involving 10lbs of C4.That explosive experience, from a distance of one metre, left the case and crown intact, with just a few scratches on its crystal lens.
The exceptionally solid piece of timepiece technology is encased in CuSn8 phosphor-bronze, the strength of which is revealed by another of its uses: making the load bearing plates for bridges.
The watch also has a proprietary crown design which features quadruple redundant seals - just to eliminate that chance of a single drop of brine leaking in.
Michael Barahona Fernandez, owner of KAVENTSMANN, machines the case parts himself one at a time in his one-man workshop in Berlin, so only a few pieces go on sale each month.
The first five units will ship later this month and will set buyers back €1,600
