More than a watch: a lifestyle

*BEEP BEEP* The alarm clock echoes through the dark room.  After a couple minutes of waiting for the sleep to fade, Bausele founder and lead designer Christophe Hoppe dons his swimsuit, swim cap, goggles, and watch.  While he walks out the door and turns toward the ocean, the sun begins to rise. The sunrise turns the water into a world of endless colors – one of Christo’s favorite scenes in the world.  As the man behind “the Makers of Time”, Christo will always make the time for his morning ocean swim, regardless of what life throws his way. 

Every visual and ergonomic element present in the Sydney Diver was designed to remind wearers of a spectacular sunrise while remaining ultra-comfortable. The case features surgical grade 316L stainless steel and has been sandblasted to reduce reflection while still delivering a deep, silver color.  The case measures in at a versatile 39.5mm size, with a 47mm lug to lug measurement.  The Diver glides smoothly through the water with a thickness of  9.5mm only (exclusive of the domed crystal).  And speaking of water, the timepiece features 200 meters of water resistance. Part of Bausele’s signature style, the watch includes a transparent crown featuring grains of sand from Christo’s home beach in Manly.

Not only do the Sydney Diver timepieces look and feel amazing, but they are also made with longevity in mind. Sporting a Sellita SW200 automatic hacking movement, the Diver is equipped with 26 jewels and a 38-hour power reserve.  Bausele selected the SW200 because of its Swiss-Made precision and reliability.

Endless Sunrise allows wearers to choose an orange or yellow dial akin to the warm sunrays or the blue or white dials representative of the ocean and waves.  The color choice of the 2-layer dial is complimented by the simplicity of the hour marker and bezel design. The timepiece’s hands and markers are coated with “old-radium” style Luminova.
