To mark its 120th anniversary, ZRC has begun the search for the submarine Q157 PHENIX, which disappeared in Cam Rahn Bay in Vietnam on June 15, 1939, to shed light on an 85-year-old mystery. For this occasion, ZRC® is offering a limited edition of 200 pieces of its Grands Fonds MN64 1000M.

The features of the ZRC GRANDS FONDS MN64 RÉÉDITION GF42168PH Edition Limitee

Its blue dial was designed to imitate the reflections of the water on the sea and the sun's rays penetrating the depths of the sea. Like all MN64 1000M, it is equipped with the ECS® system, which ensures optimal rinsing after immersion in salt water, eliminating contaminants and salt crystals trapped between the unidirectional rotating bezel with ceramic insert and the case.

The hands are driven by the new SELLITA SW300-1 automatic movement in its Elaboré version. This 100% Swiss-made movement has an accuracy of +/- 5 seconds/day and a power reserve of 56 hours.

The Crown Protection System™ ensures a secure, waterproof closure. The bracelet can only be attached if the crown at 6 o'clock is completely screwed in.

After the first Grands Fonds 300® was officially approved in 1960, the French Navy explained to the designers that the crown at 3 o'clock was a problem , as it is too vulnerable to manipulation underwater. She asked ZRC® to find a solution to protect the crown without hindering the movement of the wrist and, above all, to ensure that it cannot open underwater. The team got to work and developed the famous crown at 6 o'clock, which is connected to the case through an exclusive system made from a cut from a single block strong>Canon exists. This makes the Grands Fonds 300® the first and only watch equipped with a 100% monoblock case. In addition, the housing is made of a special molybdenum-reinforced steel that is completely anti-magnetic (an absolute necessity for mine clearance Divers' Group).
