Jewelry & Watches: The CHANEL Collection of J12 fashion watches has quickly become the most popular watch offering from the celebrated fashion house. To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the watch's launch, CHANEL has introduced the elegant J12 Marine Watch.
An authentic diving watch, the J12 Marine is taking the aesthetic appeal of
the J12 Watch Collection one step further into the depths of the sea.
Cleverly incorporated into the aquatic theme, the official J12 website
places the watch in its natural habitat, complete with a deep blue sea
background and oxygen bubble accents. Even the type flows as smoothly as
the waves of the watery deep, giving viewers an interactive underwater
experience.
The newly celebrated J12 Marine is inspired by maritime symbols, becoming a
necessary nautical instrument in itself. It is available in two sizes and
three versions in classic CHANEL colors: black, white and blue. Like the
other watches in the J12 Collection, the J12 Marine is elegant ceramic,
making it a welcome addition to the stylish J12 family.
Like all of the CHANEL Watch Collections, the J12 Marine is carefully
crafted with special attention given to each detail and facet of the
timepiece?s design. Each piece features a sand-blasted, high-tech ceramic
and steel case with engraved decoration.
The steel bezel rotates unidirectionally. It is notched for a graduated
60-minute read and marked by a luminescent marker at 12 o'clock. The
crystal is sapphire with a blue anti-reflective coating on the internal and
external faces.
Water-resistant up to a depth of 300 meters, the black lacquered dial
offers luminous visibility even in the depths of the sea. The self-winding,
mechanical Swiss movement has a 42-hour power reserve and is capable of
giving an hour, minute and second hand reading time and date on the bezel.
For comfort, the matte rubber strap has openings to allow water to pass
through, and the composite material makes the J12 Marine highly resistant
to water, shocks, scratches and ultraviolet rays. The elegant finishing
touches: an ardillon buckle in polished and satin-finish steel, engraved
with CHANEL and a caseback with an engraved decoration celebrating the
J12 Marine.
Learn about the J12 Marine by watching the film created to celebrate the
magnificently designed luxury watch, and all the exacting components that
make it uniquely CHANEL.
