C11MAKAIRA PRO 500
CONQUER THE DEEP
THE NAME “MAKAIRA” HAS ITS ORIGINS IN THE GREEK WORD FOR “SWORD” AND IT IS NO SURPRISE, THEREFORE, THAT IT IS ALSO THE GENUS FOR SEVERAL TYPES OF MARLIN, INCLUDING THE ATLANTIC BLUE, BLACK AND INDO-PACIFIC BLUE.
I
t is also no surprise either, therefore, that CW’s newest dive watch takes the name of some of the strongest, fastest fish in the oceans as the C11 Makaira Pro 500 is a very, very special watch. From the superbly constructed satin-brushed marine grade stainless steel case to the precise and reliable Sellita automatic movement it protects, and on to the beautifully engineered internal countdown bezel, the Makaira exudes the sort of quality a professional diver would expect from a timepiece on which his life could depend.
Most of us will never put the 735 pounds of force per square inch capability of the Makaira to the test. But the fact that it is capable of resisting such pressure 500 metres beneath the waves provides a certain reassurance if you forget to remove your watch in the shower! The Makaira Pro 500 comes in 3 colours, black with white indexes as shown, and also black with blue indexes and black with Orange indexes. Rubber dive strap versions are £499, and the steel bracelet versions with divers extension are £560.
