2023 echo/neutra CRISTALLO Professional Diver Blue 42mm

Here we have a 2023 echo/neutra Cristallo Professional Diver Blue 42mm (Ref. CR22-283). This watch's design draws inspiration from the rugged majesty of alpine lakes and the extreme depths of the ocean, combining a sharp Italian design language with professional-grade Swiss manufacturing. The 42mm 316L stainless steel case curves around your wrist with a contemporary, robust silhouette. A lug-to-lug length of 49mm and a case thickness of 14mm give the watch a solid, highly capable wrist presence. Polished and brushed surfaces transition with crisp lines. Down the left side at 9 o'clock, an integrated helium escape valve prepares the watch for saturation diving, while the right side features a secure, signed screw-down crown. The characteristic 120-click unidirectional rotating bezel features a black ceramic insert treated with BGW9 Swiss Super-LumiNova and marked with a specialised no-decompression scale, precisely executed to display remaining dive times at specific depths without needing decompression. The flat, 3mm-thick sapphire crystal, highly scratch-resistant, is set above a deep blue-to-black gradient dial that beautifully evokes the changing light of deep water. An outer minute track is precisely marked, complemented by modern geometric indexes filled with BGW9 Swiss Super-LumiNova that mark the hours. Horologically distinctive, the asymmetric dial features a recessed small-seconds register at 9 o'clock with a dual-ended luminescent hand and a handy power-reserve indicator at 6 o'clock. The central hour and minute hands are finished with matching BGW9 lume for absolute legibility in pitch-black marine environments. At noon, the printed echo/neutra motif sits proudly with "Cristallo" and its professional 500-metre depth rating written underneath. On the reverse, a solid, screw-down stainless steel case back features an engraved mountainous landscape logo symbolising outdoor land-and-air adventure, alongside technical specifications and markings that keep the assembly watertight to an impressive 500 metres (1,640 feet). Inside beats the Automatic Sellita Cal. SW279, an Elaboré-grade Swiss movement from the highly reliable SW200 family. Operating at 28,800 beats per hour (4Hz), this modified 26-jewel movement features a hack-seconds function, a custom-removed date-setting position for a cleaner mechanical profile, and provides a 41-hour power reserve. The watch comes paired with a matching 20mm stainless steel H-link bracelet featuring a signed folding clasp and a tool-free quick-adjust diving extension, plus a fitted rubber strap. The watch comes complete with its original echo/neutra leather watch wallet presentation case and paperwork.
