Sherpa "Ultradive" with Rose Gold Sun Dial - Reference 002/01/01 (Pre-Order)

A modern take on the vintage icon, the Sherpa Ultradive has all the charm of the original with its 'double lollipop' seconds hand and robust crown guard protection. 

The 40mm diameter high polished case is faithful to the design of 1964 and wears beautifully on the wrist. The delicately domed dial with appliqué indices feature diamond cut chamfers with X1 Grade Super Super-Luminova to match the luminescent hands. 

All Sherpa models incorporate the newly developed compressor technology for the MONOFLEX crowns and EPSA-STOP case backs. These proprietary features are based on the designs of EPSA but improved by today’s materials and manufacturing capabilities. Operated by the upper crown, the internally rotating diving bezel can be adjusted in either direction for easy setting.

For this "Sun" dial, a soleil finish is applied before galvanically coating the dials with Rose Gold. This was no small task when considering the complex shape of the dial, with milled cutouts to house the applied indices, the date window, and also the sloped edges. The end result speaks for itself. 

The Ultradive carries 200M/660ft water resistance and features the unique compressor mechanism in the caseback and crowns. This watch features true "Super Compressor" crown construction that allows for the seals to further tighten as the watch experiences increased amounts of water pressure. The end result are crowns with considerable water resistance without the need to be screwed down. 

Stainless Steel case measures 40mm x 13.5mm x 49.3mm lug-to-lug. Case is ISO 2425 rated with WR to 200M/660ft.

Available for Pre-Order as shown w/ a strap (please choose between Olive, Black, Orange, Grey, or White) for $6,800.
