Expressing the jet-black world and the deep sea 1,000m (Japan limited specification)
An all-black specification limited to Japan with the image of a deep sea of 1,000 meters where sunlight reaches only about 1/100 trillion of the sea surface. The case made of grade 2 titanium (pure titanium), which is particularly excellent in the characteristics of titanium (high corrosion resistance to seawater, high strength, light weight, resistance to metal allergies, etc.), is coated with black PVD and painted black with less gloss. The black dial, dark grey hands, and silver indexes are also finished in a matte texture for a gentlemanly and calm dark tone. On the other hand, the three in-dials are glossy with a Mr./Ms. finish that radiates from the center like a sunbeam, creating a contrast to the matte dial.
Powerboat Racing World View (Japan Limited Edition)
With a diameter of 45 mm and a thickness of 15.5 mm, the case is made of grade 2 titanium with high strength, light weight, and sporty wear. The index is an iconic design with only the champion number “1” displayed in large Arabic numerals. As a Japan exclusive specification, the champion number “1” is set with a black diamond, which is said to be a symbol of strength. The back cover is engraved with the propeller, which is the propulsion device of the powerboat. The unevenness created by the engraving prevents the back cover from adhering to the arm and allows for comfortable wearing.
High-Spec Divers
With a special case structure, screw-down crown, and a 3mm thick sapphire crystal windshield, it is water resistant to 100 bar / 1,000 meters, which is worthy of the brand concept “THE WATER CHAMPION”.
Auto Helium Escape Valve
Equipped with an auto helium escape valve at 9 o’clock in the case. Helium gas that has entered the watch during saturation diving is automatically discharged, and plays a role in preventing the watch from rupturing due to the difference in pressure between inside and outside. It is a detail that allows you to visually enjoy the charm of a diver’s watch.
strap
The edgy, sharp lugs are connected to a soft, comfortable and durable silicone rubber strap. The studded pattern on the rubber surface is a unique accent to the unified coloring. The strap is attached downwards rather than laterally so that the strap has a rounded silhouette along the arm when worn.
About the Chrono Offshore 1 Collection
This is the flagship collection of Edox, which projects the dynamic and luxurious world view of powerboat racing, which is also known as Formula 1 of the sea, with a maximum speed of over 200 km/h. Equipped with a heavy high-tech ceramic bezel and 300~1,000m water resistance as standard specifications, it achieves both toughness and elegance by pursuing aesthetics without compromising on materials and finishes.

About Edox
THE WATER CHAMPION
◆THE WATER CHAMPION
A pocket watch designed and made by the excellent watchmaker Christian Ljufli = Fleury himself to celebrate his wife’s birthday. Moved by the beauty of this gift, his wife encouraged him to start a watch brand, and in 1884 he founded Edox in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland. What began as a love story continues uninterrupted to this day, celebrating its 140th anniversary in 2024.
At the time of its founding, the company made a name for itself with pocket watches, but shifted to manufacturing wristwatches in the 1950s. We have developed the world’s first patented waterproof mechanism, and have pursued the creation of high-performance watches that can maintain timekeeping functions even in harsh environments. From the launch of the brand’s first waterproof watch, the Delfine, in 1961, to the current flagship collection “Chrono Offshore 1” and the latest series “Neptunian” in the shape of the god of the sea, we have been at the forefront of diver’s watch development for more than 50 years.
We have a number of partnerships with the sports scene, including serving as the official timekeeper of international luxury sports competitions. With its toughness, such as shock resistance and water resistance, Edox watches are highly trusted by elite athletes.
