劳力士水鬼三兄弟在自然风光中闪耀和古迹手表并肩作战
自诞生至今,劳力士蚝式恒动潜航者日历型腕表不断提升防水技术,从最初的100米深度到达今日的300米,展现了劳力士在防水领域的卓越。他们是潜水腕表中的典范,自1953年诞生以来,不仅征服海底世界,也赢得陆地上的尊重。作为专业潜水员的伙伴,或探索陆地,它都是精湛与勇往直前的体现,因此受到了深具远见者的喜爱。劳力士表迷称其为“劳力士水鬼”,指的是蚝式恒动潜航者型(Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner)系列。
这个家族包括绿、黑、蓝、红色“水鬼”,以及被誉为“鬼王”的Comex系列。“每个‘鬼王’Comex都以真正下海而著称,而绿色和黑色的‘水鬼’尤其畅销,其中绿色版一出市即被抢购一空。”
Submariner 潜航者及“鬼王”的诞生
上世纪四五十年代,当人们开发海底资源时,劳力士便推出了具有良好辨认性的潜航者系列,这些表具备高对比率黑面、大夜光针、良好的防磁、防水和冲撞结构,以及耐腐蚀性和抗剧烈温差,使潜航更便利。在1954年的巴塞尔展出,其首次展示全球第一只能防水超过100米的机械腕表。
随着潜航者的问世,劳力士在潜水领域展现顶尖水平,并获得优质资源。1963年,与世界一流公司Comex合作,为Comex提供测试用表,而Comex则为Laboratory of Applied Biomechanics(LAB)提供真实环境性能分析数据。这批用于深海测试的试验用表中就包括了Submariner型号,所以每只标有Comex印记的是真正下过海的Tablet。这些特供给Comex公司使用的小量生产版本,即我们常说的"Water Ghost"与"Ghost King"。
可以说,在同Coaxial系统合作后的Submariner已达到一个新的高度。
Laborie Green Water Ghost
Laborie Submarine Calendar Series 116610LV, also known as the "Green Water Ghost", was first launched in 2010. The watch features a PVD-coated "green gold" dial and a secret ratio of green gold material. This bold design is an innovation for the brand that has traditionally adhered to its classic style, making it one of the most popular products from Laborie. Since this model only produced one batch, with a similar black version replacing it later, it has become highly valuable for collectors.
It uses the classic mechanical movement from Laborie - Caliber 3135. The case is made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel (904L), while the crystal glass lens is made of durable blue sapphire glass. In addition to displaying small windows and calendar displays on both sides, it allows users to clearly observe dates during diving or sports activities.
The single-turn bezel on this model marks precise scales clockwise rotation and aligns three triangular markers with hour hands using scales to calculate time when returning ashore.
Laborie Black Water Ghost
The Black Water Ghost was introduced as a replacement for the Green Water Ghost in response to market demand for another color option.
The success of Laborie's Deep Dive Watch owes much to several groundbreaking technological innovations, including Laborie's proprietary ring-lock system that ensures watches can withstand immense pressure underwater even at great depths. It was specifically designed for professional divers who require extreme performance under water conditions.
Three other exceptional components contribute significantly to achieving this watch's outstanding performance: A high-performance stainless steel ring placed between blue crystal glass and the case back provides easy passage through heavy water pressure; Blue Crystal Glass exhibits slight curvature compared with traditional models' curved shape but offers twice enhanced anti-pressure capability; Case backs are crafted from titanium alloy material known for excellent durability and resistance; And finally, Performance-optimized Stainless Steel Rings provide additional security by locking down securely around these two elements against all external forces generated during deep-sea dives.
In summary, laborious research into perfecting materials science over many years enabled us today enjoy such remarkable feats like waterproof up-to-300-meter depth watches which set new standards globally!
