The Swiss automatic DAV 3021 movement in its screwed stainless steel case keeps perfect time on the way down. The scratch-resistant and anti-glare sapphire crystal guarantees a clear view of the neatly designed dial with a 15-minute scale on the bezel insert, which provides orientation in an emergency ascent. And thanks to the stainless steel strap extension with safety clasp, DAVOSA Argonautic BG Automatic can easily be worn on a wetsuit.

The state-of-the-art SuperLumiNova® BG W9 luminous pigment ensures exceptional luminous properties. This material has been applied to the figures and hands and now for the first time to the 15-minute scale and all figures on the ceramic bezel. In natural light, this best-in-class luminous pigment appears white; in the dark, it glows bright blue.

A manual helium escape valve allows for controlled pressure equalization inside the watch when surfacing. In addition, the valve at 10 o'clock has been technically optimized and is now clearly identifiable by the helium symbol on the crown face.
