The Watch
Estimate: $1,200
The JB 200 is a re-edition of a diving watch that was once used by the French Navy. Created in the 1980s, by the master craftsman Jacques Bianchi, it is a watch that is recognizable by its unique dial, featuring the silhouette of a diver in action. It is a part of the great watchmaking history of “French Skin Divers”.
The design of the destro case of the historic JB 200 evokes the spirit of diving watches of the 1970s, halfway between the finesse of the “skin divers” of the 1960s and the robustness of the divers of the 1980s. In order to equip the new model with an automatic caliber — which is necessarily thicker than a quartz movement — the proportions had to be reviewed and improved. The 42 mm off-crown diameter of the case remains unchanged, but a long adjustment process was necessary to preserve the spirit of the historical shapes and the technical requirements imposed by the integration of an automatic movement.

About
In the mid-1980s, Jacques Bianchi developed — under his own name — a diver’s watch, water-resistant up to 200 meters originally commissioned by the French navy. Four decades later the master craftsmen Jacques Bianchi relaunched the brand with the iconic JB 200 in its orignal birth place of Marseille, incorporating over 50 years of expertise in water resistance.
