Sold out in a heartbeat. There's a reason why.
Influenced by dive watches from the 1960s,
considered by many watch aficionados to be
the golden era of tool watches.
SOMETHING TO CHERISH
Mechanical Swiss movement.
The Méraud Bonaire watch is powered by a modified Caliber STP1-11, which boasts the precision of Swiss automatic mechanical movement.
Caliber STP1-11 operates at 28,800 beats per hour and offers a 44-hour power reserve.
The movement has a “perlage” finish, while the rotor has the “Côte de Geneve” finish and Méraud signature. It also has been modified to a no-date movement, all components releated to the date have been removed.
Upon request STP has adjusted the movements that there are only 2 crown positions, one for winding and one position to set the time.
REFINED AND AESTHETICALLY PLEASING
The dial.
The Bonaire’s "Onyx Black" is a high polished dial variant that includes the patina-like "radium" Swiss Super-LumiNova® luminescence, emphasizing classic retro aesthetics.
Meanwhile, the Bonaire’s "Graphite Grey" and "Marine Blue" dial options have a sunbirst finish and indexes are filled with C3 Super-LumiNova® luminescence.
The dial is fitted with applied and polished hour markers.
For this model we've chosen for polished flat sword hands that offers great legibility.
Each dial is protected by a domed sapphire crystal that’s reminiscent of vintage dive watches.
ELEGANTLY SHAPED
The perfect blend between old and new.
The Bonaire’s unidirectional diver’s bezel design was inspired by the Bakelite bezels from the 1950s and 1960s and is finished with a scratch-resistant sapphire to complement the active lifestyles of our time.
Staying true to the watches of that era, the elegant 316L stainless steel cases measure a perfect 39mm and a height of only 12,5mm.
In addition, the cases are finished with striking contrasts thanks to a mix of linear, circular, and high-polished brushed finishes.
Designed with a collector's mind
Details matter.
Watch collectors will be delighted to find lug holes for easy strap changes on the watch case.
In fact, each Méraud Bonaire watch comes with an extra rubber strap and NATO-style strap to accompany the selected leather strap or steel bracelet. Buyers will receive a handy strap changing tool as well.
The complete set – watch, straps, and tool – is presented in a beautifully finished wooden box.
The steel rivet bracelet is finished with true rivets and is separeately available.
