Batiscafo watches in titanium, bronze and carbon

Batiscafo takes its name from the Italian for bathyscaphe, the deep-sea submersible its founder Andrei Trofimtchouk cited when he launched the bronze Quadro45 on Kickstarter in 2021. Trofimtchouk is an automotive design director with more than 27 production and concept cars to his name by the brand's own count, and the watches carry that background in heavy, sculpted cases with the hour numerals engraved into the case side. Every model has been a limited run, and the brand says no design is repeated once it is made. It names CuSn8 for its bronze, picked for the way it patinates, and the current Zero47-1000 puts its 47 mm monobloc case, rated to 1,000 m with a helium escape valve, into Grade 5 titanium and carbon as well; only the titanium version is offered with a Muonionalusta meteorite dial. Sales run through the brand's own web store, whose contact page gives a Hong Kong company, Centvm Limited.
