FINDEISEN F-1253 Prussian blue stainless steel bracelet Diver watch as WATCHDAVID Special Bundle

FINDEISEN is now enriching the world of fine modern diving watches with the model F-1253, which was designed according to the strict DIN 8306 standard. With this watch, FINDEISEN relies on a particularly unique design and the implementation of innovative ideas.

Swiss Super-LumiNova®

For example, the hour markers are filled with Swiss Super-LumiNova® using the high-precision Lumicast® process, which ensures their radiance over a long period of time in the dark. The elements relevant to diving, such as the bezel luminous dot and the hands, shine extra brightly, while the indices on the dial appear 40% more subtle. This, in combination with the green glowing minute hand, makes it easier to read quickly in the dark. The date window is at 3 o'clock.

one-piece dial

The dial of the Memel F-1253 is made in one piece with the 12 hour markers. Unlike conventional dials, where the indices are subsequently placed on the dial and the hold is ensured by gluing and riveting, FINDEISEN uses the punching process for the F-1253.

The dial initially has the height of the highest index, then everything else is punched out, so that at the end the dial remains with the shapes of the 12 indices. Replacing an index is therefore impossible and underlines this once again Production according to DIN 8306 of the F-1253 diving watch.

Striking 41.5mm case FINDEISEN F-1253 Prussian blue stainless steel bracelet diving watch

Particularly hard, stainless AISI 316L 1.4435 steel is used for the striking 41.5 mm case and the unidirectional rotating bezel with the FINDEISEN turbine cut. It is hypoallergenic, extremely corrosion-resistant and is therefore ideal for direct skin contact. All stainless steel elements of the watch are finely pearl-blasted and therefore even more resistant to scratches and damage. The particularly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, which has triple anti-reflective treatment on both sides, perfectly completes the visual appeal of this watch.

Another special feature of the FINDEISEN F-1253 is the extendable FINDEISEN S.V.F. clasp. This allows the band circumference to be increased quickly and easily up to 26 mm. Perfect for easy donning over a diving wetsuit.

Movement FW4251, base: Damasko A26.2 manufacture caliber

The heart of the F-1253 was created in collaboration with the German watch manufacturer DAMASKO. The in-house caliber FW 4251 has a power reserve of 42 hours and is regulated in 5 positions for perfect accuracy.

The FINDEISEN F-1253 is shockproof according to DIN 8308 and non-magnetic according to DIN 8309. Both DIN standards are achieved through the use of a 3-part magnetic shield inside as well as through the use of ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (EPDM) for the movement holder far exceeded.

The FINDEISEN F-1253 is waterproof up to 20 bar. The caseback is adorned with the delicate coat of arms of the historic port city of Memel, which is now known as Klaipeda.
