In the vast spectrum of watchmaking, dive watches often oscillate between two poles: the "hardcore tool" and the "urban accessory." The BERNY AMT159M is conceived to transcend this dichotomy. It does not seek a compromise but aims to forge a novel connection between the extreme environment of the deep sea and the aesthetic language of the modern metropolis. It is more than a precision instrument capable of 20 ATM water resistance; it is a metallic manifesto of exploration.
When we speak of "diving," we refer not merely to a sport, but to a lifestyle—an escape from gravity and noise. Inspired by the "Coral Sea," the AMT159M merges the primal texture of seabed topography with the cool, aerospace-grade titanium finish. The result is an all-weather companion built for professional underwater duty yet seamlessly integrated into business-casual settings. It is designed for the "urban diver" who seeks to preserve a wild intuition within the concrete jungle.
Forged to be Light, Strong, Reliable
The design philosophy of the BERNY AMT159M begins with a singular pursuit: to create a professional dive watch that offers genuine comfort on every descent. Traditional dive watches often sacrifice wearability for durability, with weights exceeding 180 grams becoming a burden over time. This led us to fundamentally rethink materials, culminating in the choice of aerospace-grade titanium for the entire case. This "metal of the future" boasts a density roughly 60% that of stainless steel while offering superior strength. Your first impression upon wearing the AMT159M will be its profound lightness—it conforms to your wrist without asserting its presence, a reliable guardian announced only when you glance to tell time.
Beyond extreme lightweight performance, two inherent qualities of titanium solidified our choice: its hypoallergenic nature and exceptional corrosion resistance. For those with sensitive skin or divers in constant contact with seawater, it prevents irritation and remains unfazed in high-salinity environments. The case is finished with a deep matte grey tone through meticulous sandblasting and hardening. This not only avoids underwater glare but also cultivates a time-honored "tool-watch aesthetic"—understated, resilient, and confident in its inherent strength.
In dimensions, we have not blindly followed the "large-diameter" trend, opting for a more restrained, classic 41.5mm watch case. This ideal size provides ample visual space for the complex dial while ensuring a secure, flush fit on most male wrists, eliminating awkward overhang. Paired with a 22mm to 20mm tapered bracelet, the weight distribution between case and band achieves perfect balance, eradicating any "top-heavy" wobble.
For operation, the AMT159M diving watch employs a classic dual-crown design (Super Compressor style). The crown at 2 o’clock rotates the internal diving elapsed-time bezel. This internal mechanism avoids risks like jamming from sand or accidental displacement common with external bezels. The crown at 4 o’clock handles precise time-setting and winding. Both crowns feature fine anti-slip texturing, enabling accurate operation even with diving gloves.
The dial is the soul of the AMT159M. Drawing inspiration from natural coral reef cross-sections, we developed a unique "coral three-dimensional texture" dial. This is not simple print but an irregular, relief-like surface created through high-pressure stamping, casting light and shadow like submerged mountains under oblique light. The handset features highly legible "broadsword" hour and minute hands, ensuring instant time reading; paired with a seconds hand tipped with a vibrant orange arrow—like a dynamic pulse indicator—injects a striking touch of vitality and a sense of speed into the dial.
Color and Luminosity: Wear the Ocean’s Spectrum On Your Wrist
The ocean is not defined by a single shade of blue. The five launch colors of the AMT159M serve as a chromatic report of marine light and depth—each hue corresponding to a distinct underwater realm and emotional resonance. Through this palette, we aim to evoke the wearer's sensory memories of a particular dive or cherished coastline.
Five Shades of Ocean Emotion
-
Abyss Gray: Evoking the mysteries beyond 200 meters—serene, profound, and symbolizing absolute calm and professionalism.
-
Lagoon Blue: Capturing the crystal-clear waters of tropical lagoons, translucent and soothing, reminiscent of getaway longings.
-
Reef Green: Inspired by lush seagrass beds and vibrant shallow reefs, representing vitality and the raw beauty of nature.
-
Safety Yellow: Drawn from the standard warning color of diving equipment, offering high visibility and a bold, avant-garde statement.
-
Coral Orange: A tribute to classic dive watch heritage, representing the last visible color spectrum underwater and ensuring maximum legibility.
Where light fades, the AMT159M reveals its other identity. We understand that for a professional dive watch, luminosity is not merely decorative—it is a critical safety feature. That is why we have generously applied premium Japanese Super-LumiNova® coating to all hour markers, hands, and the scale on the inner bezel ring.
This high-performance luminous compound absorbs light to emit an intense ice-blue glow that lasts for over 8 hours. Notably, we implemented a dual-color (multi-tone) luminous system: the dive countdown scale on the inner bezel glows green, while the hour and minute hands along with the inner hour markers emit a blue glow. The outer hour markers are treated with a segmented, multi-color luminous system. This distinct color-coded night visibility allows divers to instantly distinguish between "current time" and "remaining dive time" in complete darkness or turbid water, eliminating potential misreading risks. This is not just visual brilliance—it is a paramount commitment to safety.
Core Specifications & FAQ
As a true instrument for diving, the BERNY AMT159M's performance parameters are not just empty talk. The watch is rigorously tested to 20 ATM (200 meters) water resistance, making it fully capable for recreational scuba diving, free diving, and all aquatic sports. The sapphire crystal is treated with double-sided anti-reflective (AR) coating, ensuring dial clarity remains clear and glare-free whether under direct sunlight on deck or in the complex light-refracting shallow waters.
At its heart beats the robust and time-tested Seagull ST1612 automatic mechanical movement. While unassuming, its long-proven track record offers excellent shock resistance, reliable accuracy, and minimal maintenance—qualities paramount for a tool watch built to accompany you everywhere. The ST1612 also provides a practical dating function for daily wear.
Frequently Asked Questions
|
Q
|
A
|
|
Can I wear it in a hot shower or sauna?
|
Absolutely not. Water resistance protects against liquid water, not high-temperature vapor. Thermal expansion and contraction will compromise the sealing gaskets, and any ingress of steam can cause irreversible corrosion to the movement.
|
|
How should I care for the diving watch after contact with seawater?
|
Seawater is corrosive. Be sure to rinse your watch under lukewarm fresh water for 5-10 minutes after any sea activity and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent salt crystallisation from corroding the seals or seizing the bezel.
|
|
Does the ST1612 movement require manual winding?
|
It is automatic movement powered by the motion of your wrist. If daily wear is less than 8 hours or the watch has been stationary, we recommend manually winding the crown 20-30 turns to ensure optimal power reserve and timekeeping accuracy.
|
|
What strap options are available?
|
The launch collection offers two options: a titanium band for a refined look and a high-strength NATO nylon strap for sporty versatility, both featuring quick-release mechanisms for easy interchange.
