The story behind this Emile Chouriet Challenger Deep
Ocean exploration has always fascinated the designers at Emile Chouriet. The Challenger Deep model draws its identity from the abysses of the Mariana Trench to offer a genuine technical diving instrument. The Emile Chouriet Challenger Deep Black watch reference 08.1169.G.6.AW.58.6 is part of this rich heritage with a timeless and radical aesthetic approach. Unlike coloured versions, its pitch-black dial pays direct homage to the aphotic zone of the ocean, that extreme depth where sunlight never penetrates. The choice of integrating a black ceramic insert on the bezel reinforces this stealthy identity while guaranteeing scratch resistance that is totally indispensable for sporting and professional use.
Case, calibre and strap of this Challenger Deep
Cut from a block of stainless steel measuring 42.5 mm in diameter and 13 mm thick, the case has sporty, reassuring lines. The deep black dial offers a striking contrast with the applied hour-markers and large sword-shaped hands, all copiously coated with white luminescent material to ensure lightning-quick legibility in the dark. A flat sapphire crystal protects this high-precision display, while a notched unidirectional rotating bezel makes it easy to keep track of immersion times. The solid screw-down caseback, engraved with a marine anchor, protects the calibre EC9316 self-winding mechanical movement. This 25-jewel Swiss engine oscillates at a frequency of 4 Hz and delivers a power reserve of 38 hours to drive the hours, minutes, running seconds and date window at 3 o'clock. Certified water-resistant to 300 metres, it is secured by a robust screw-down crown. A solid steel bracelet fitted with a secure folding clasp completes this aquatic armour.
