The story behind this Emile Chouriet Challenger Deep
The Maison Emile Chouriet draws its inspiration from the exploits of humanity to forge precision instruments. The Challenger Deep model pays direct homage to the Mariana Trench, where the deepest point of the oceans lies almost 11,000 metres below the surface. Designed to withstand extreme pressure and accompany experienced divers, the Emile Chouriet Challenger Deep Green reference 08.1169.G.6.AW.E8.6 is aimed at those with a passion for underwater exploration. The design of its smoked dial is no accident, since it faithfully reproduces the visual perception of a diver plunging into the abyss with a bright central light that gradually fades away towards the murky edges. This narrative approach definitively anchors this piece in the world of technical diving.
Case, calibre and bracelet of this Challenger Deep Green
The 42.5 mm-diameter, 13 mm-thick stainless steel armour houses a captivating emerald green dial. The latter is protected by a flat sapphire crystal offering perfect legibility of the applied hour-markers and sword-shaped hands equipped with luminescent material. A notched unidirectional rotating bezel with ceramic insert crowns the ensemble. Beneath the solid caseback adorned with a marine anchor engraved in relief beats the EC9316 calibre self-winding mechanical movement. Equipped with 25 jewels and oscillating at a frequency of 4 Hz, it provides a power reserve of 38 hours. This Swiss mechanism provides a precise display of the hours, minutes, seconds and date via an aperture at 3 o'clock, and is water-resistant to 300 metres. The watch is secured to the wrist by a full-link steel bracelet with a secure folding clasp.
