INTENSE BLUE
The spirit of rebelliousness also takes the lead in the oceans with this novel creation from the brand and through the use of the SLN Blocks technology developed by Billight.
Rebellion’s first-ever dive watch shakes up the codes with its powerful stylistic personality. The brand, on a never-ending quest for breakthrough technologies, adorns the face of its Predator APNEA with three-dimensional elements which emit intense light in the dark, produced using machines which are the only one-of-their-kind in the world. The inclusion of these features in this instance results in spectacular three-dimensional scenography. In short, on the brand new honeycomb dial, luminescent material reigns supreme delivering optimal readability under any conditions of light. Here, the XXL numerals, the inserts in the indexes and the date aperture weren’t painted but molded to form blocks of blue Super Luminova®. Other colors are in the pipe to enhance the collection. The presence of a large black bezel secures dives with its ever-so clear scale. It’s but child’s play to maneuver and offers the choice to calculate elapsed dive time or time remaining.
A sturdy yet light 48 mm-diameter grade 5 titanium case coated with black DLC, waterproof to a depth of 100 meters, hosts a Swiss Made caliber beating at a frequency of 28,000 vibrations an hour. This selfwinding movement delivers at least 48 hours’ power reserve to the time data.
The Predator APNEA comes complete with a comfortable rubber strap. The existence of a folding clasp with patented buckle ensures secure wear on land and at sea.
