Description

Uncompromising robustness of a modern tool watch in an elegant, classic design, the Photic diver by Clemence Watches is ready to go from sea to summit and everything in between. Designed and assembled in Britain, we've taken cues from the golden age of watches, the 60's and 70's, to create our vision of the ultimate go anywhere, do anything dive watch - capable of surviving the photic zone and everyday life alike.

To get the Photic Diver out in the wild we need the help of the community. We're excited to be launching on Kickstarter in Summer 2021! In the meantime, sign-up to keep updated or follow us on Instagram.

Climate Positive

The legacy of every Photic diver will be rooted in helping reforest Scotland.

For every watch that is sold, we will plant a UK native tree, to providing ecological benefits to local biodiversity and our global environment.

In addition to planting trees, we will off-set at least 2x the carbon footprint of each watch. By removing carbon from the atmosphere we'll help to protect our habitats on land and sea.

Our climate-positive approach is important to us and will be funded through donating a proportion of our profit, not inflated watch prices.

This is our commitment, helping to protect the wild places we love to explore.

The Domes

The domed dial, sapphire front crystal and sapphire bezel create depth and contrasting light.

Light Play

The domed edges of our dials, sunburst finishes and contrasting use of polished and brushed steel give each watch its own personality.

Our gradient dial is a chameleon, bronze gilt accents emit warmth, domed dial edges swoop into shadow and polished case bevels discreetly slim the watch toward the wrist.

Function Meets Form

Drilled lugs make strap changes a breeze, although we love our supplied options, there's no denying the Photic would look great on leather or a Nato.

On the Wrist

Our steel bracelet comes with a diver extension for on-the-fly adjustment and three holes of micro-adjust so you can tune in the perfect sizing.

Alternatively, the tropic style strap is made from hardwearing yet supple FKM rubber, providing supreme comfort in all conditions.

Beating Heart

A true workhorse, the Miyota 9039 is Japan's answer to a high-end swiss automatic movement. In our opinion, it's the ideal balance between quality, reliability and value.

Engraved with a depiction of the photic zone, the movement beats over 500,000 times a day, driving a smooth sweeping second hand.
