The Circula SuperSport Petrol (€1,099) isn’t just another dive watch; it’s a testament to the power of community-driven design and the enduring appeal of classic horology. Born from the collective input of over 4,500 watch enthusiasts worldwide, this timepiece embodies a unique blend of thoughtful design, high-quality materials, and genuine super compressor functionality. It’s a watch that’s as ready for underwater adventures as it is for everyday wear, a symbol of shared passion and horological excellence.
The SuperSport Petrol Watch impresses from the first glance. Its unique design, a product of collaborative creativity, is both distinctive and timeless. The hand-brushed stainless steel case, meticulously finished with polished bevels, exudes a sense of understated elegance. The scratch-resistant, slightly curved sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective coating on the inside ensures exceptional clarity and durability.
The watch’s true dive watch credentials are evident in its genuine super compressor function. This ingenious mechanism, developed in collaboration with the watch community, enhances the watch’s water resistance as pressure increases, making it a reliable companion for deep-sea exploration. The 120-click unidirectional inner rotating bezel, with luminous indices made from Swiss Super-LumiNova C3 X1, allows for precise timing underwater. The lumed screw-down crown at 4 o’clock further enhances the watch’s water resistance, ensuring it can withstand depths of up to 300 meters (30 ATM).
The multi-layered dial adds depth and visual interest, while the hands and indices, filled with Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9, provide excellent readability in all lighting conditions. The sandwich construction of the dial, with submerged indices, further enhances its three-dimensionality.
At the heart of the SuperSport beats the precise Swiss automatic movement, Caliber Sellita SW 200-1 Elabore. This robust and reliable movement, fine-adjusted in Pforzheim, offers a power reserve of at least 38 hours, typically 41 hours. It’s a testament to Circula’s commitment to quality and precision.
The SuperSport is available with a choice of straps: a tropical rubber strap for a sporty and functional look, or a solid H-link steel strap with a quick-change system and safety clasp for a more classic and refined aesthetic. The 40mm diameter case, with a 46.5mm lug-to-lug measurement and 12mm height, sits comfortably on the wrist, making it suitable for a variety of wrist sizes.
The Circula SuperSport is more than just a dive watch; it’s a reflection of shared passion, a product of community input, and a testament to Circula’s dedication to quality and innovation. It’s a watch that embodies the spirit of exploration, ready to accompany you on any adventure, whether it’s beneath the waves or on dry land. It’s a timepiece that’s both functional and beautiful, a symbol of horological excellence and a celebration of the power of collaboration. The SuperSport isn’t just a watch; it’s a dive into a new era of community-driven watchmaking.
