The Airain brand has a wonderful history and watch models. After the Type 20, here is their new model: the Airain Submarine watch.
A reissue I had the pleasure of working on, starting with respecting the proportions of the original piece but incorporating a La Joux-Perret G100 automatic movement and an unusual crown system, a Parmentier crown, which means you can unscrew the cap, turn it, and use it to wind the movement (it's still an automatic), ensuring water resistance to 200 meters.
My next task was to completely redesign the typography, from the bezel to the dial numerals and the "Automatic 24 Rubies" inscriptions, all the way to the entire date disc. This was done with one goal in mind: to remain as faithful as possible to the 1960s model.
Despite all the constraints associated with a reissue, I took the liberty of improving the diver's engraving on the back of the watch by redesigning three different concepts that were submitted for voting on the platform that the Airain brand has set up on their website, to share and engage their communities.
