And their confidence is justified with water resistance to the depth of up to 1000 meters, depending on the model. Sealed inside these high-tech diving watches are design and performance features that equip the wearer for any adventure, above or below sea level. Three different versions, varying in size and movement type, are guaranteed to make waves - even on dry land.

Seamlessly merging top quality tactile materials, the robust 42 mm BeLOWZERO Auto 2824 and the 46 mm BeLOWZERO Auto Chrono mirror the diving theme and also have easily visible digits, plus an elongated zero at the 12 o’clock position. Taking after their ‘deeper’ sibling, they have Superluminova numbers and hands, plus an easy-toread date.
