The success of the initial Freediver launch means we can take the second iteration to another level: Water resistance doubles to 200 meters. The case sides, hands, and applied indices are redesigned. We swap out the sapphire crystal bezel inserts to ceramic for a more durable wearing experience.

Great strides in legibility bring the Freediver to its fourth iteration: Maxi-style applied markers make the dial sharper, fully graduated hash markers allow for elapsed time to be read with greater precision, and the new handset seamlessly blends the trapezoidal and circular design elements of the dial and bezel together.

With the passing of another year, we simply couldn’t resist adding a couple of small but high-impact refinements to our first and most venerable model. In addition to adding a new colorway, the Freediver’s ceramic bezel insert has been redesigned with an all-new font for easy reading in any setting — we’re calling it ‘TRASKA Type.’ Last year, we raised the bar by re-engineering the internal mechanism for the rotating bezel. This year, we re-engineered it again. Hidden beneath the bezel insert lie the ceramic ball bearings responsible for our best bezel action yet. Resonant clicks that are heard and felt simultaneously mean turning the bezel is now satisfying beyond belief. Moving from the tactile to the visual, close observers will notice the applied indices have been amplified. While the lume plots retain the same proportions, the surrounds now feature chamfered edges that tease and delight the eye when viewed from all angles. Refined end links as well as our new quick-adjust clasp top off the improvements.
