PLONGEUR 530, a watch from a remarkable era.
The Plongeur 530 was not simply designed to evoke the world of diving: it tells part of its story.
It brings back an era when underwater exploration was constantly pushing the boundaries when France, driven by Henri-Germain Delauze, founder of COMEX, was the world leader, and when every meter gained represented a human and technical challenge.
The 530 pays tribute to Patrick Raude, a legend of deep diving and the holder of the greatest number of world records in open-water saturation diving.
It also celebrates our meeting and the friendship that grew from it. Together, we revived the spirit of those professional instruments: robustness, legibility, simplicity and efficiency, without ever falling into the nostalgic reproduction of a vintage watch.
The Plongeur 530 is resolutely operational. Its proportions, finishing and architecture bear the signature of H by Bohen: a strong, instantly recognisable identity, and a design in which every detail serves a purpose.
For the movement, we chose the Swiss Soprod P24 automatic movement, a proven architecture selected in particular for its reliability and its ability to be reworked to withstand pressure equivalent to 53 times atmospheric pressure.
The H Plongeur 530 pays tribute to those men who descended where no one had reached before.
