The ZRC Grands Fonds 300 MN64 Osmium Satin (GF41118) is a modern tribute to the iconic 1964 French Navy diver, combining historic “tool-watch” DNA with advanced Swiss horology. Designed “by divers for divers,” this timepiece features a highly distinctive 41.5mm hexagonal monobloc case machined from non-magnetic 316L stainless steel with a sophisticated satin finish.
Key Technical Innovations
- Crown Protection System™: Located at the 6 o’clock position to prevent crown damage and wrist interference. This safety feature ensures the strap can only be fastened if the crown is fully screwed down, guaranteeing 100% water resistance before you dive.
- Easy Clean System (ECS™): A patented system (N°1462496) that allows fresh water to circulate behind the bezel, diluting and evacuating sea salt crystals to prevent the unidirectional bezel from seizing.
- Professional Performance: While guaranteed for 300 meters, each case is proof-tested to 1,000 meters to ensure structural integrity under extreme pressure.
Design & Aesthetics
The Osmium Blue sunray dial captures the shifting hues of the ocean, complemented by white dotted arrow hour markers and Super-Luminova® X1 for exceptional legibility in low-light conditions. The dial is protected by a 3mm-thick, anti-reflective domed sapphire crystal, while the unidirectional 60-click bezel features a scratchproof ceramic insert.
