A long-standing commitment between Swiss watch manufacturer Carl F. Bucherer and the Manta Trust has already brought three special edition models, and the fourth has just landed. What started as a collaboration in 2013 continues into 2021 with a new version of the brand\u2019s Patravi ScubaTec dive watch. This new creation between the two entities was presented during this year\u2019s Watches & Wonders digital fair, and we\u2019ve had a chance to go hands-on with it. Here\u2019s the Carl F. Bucherer Patravi ScubaTec Maldives Edition.<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve previously seen the Patravi ScubaTec, Carl. F. Bucherer\u2019s big and bold dive watch as a platform for collaborative watches with the UK-based charity The Manta Trust. This fourth model is once again dedicated to protecting marine life from extinction, specifically the mysterious and gracious Manta Ray. A portion of each sale supports this good cause to fund a floating research station in the Maldives.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The watch measures 44.6mm across and is 13.45mm thick. The stainless steel case is mainly brushed with polished accents all around. A sturdy cool-looking screw-down crown is protected by two crown guards. On the opposite side of the case, you will find a Helium Relief Valve at the 8 o\u2019clock position. The rotatable diving bezel features a blue and white ceramic insert with a 15-minute scale in the white section and large ten-minute digits in the blue area. On the backside of the watch, you can see a decoration featuring two Manta Rays.<\/p>\n

The large case exposes an extremely legible blue dial with a distinct wave-like pattern. The distinctive applied indexes give the Patravi ScubaTec Maldives a stand-out look. The oversized hour and minutes hand are easily distinguished from one another. All markers and hands are filled with Super-LumiNova for added night-time visibility. The chunky lugs of the case angle downwards to better accommodate the strap.<\/p>\n

Powering the Carl F. Bucherer Patravi ScubaTec Maldives is the CFB 1950.1, an automatic movement based on the tried-and-tested ETA 2824-2. This movement indicates the time through the centrally mounted hands and is accompanied by a date indication, visible at 3 o\u2019clock. The movement is regulated and certified by COSC. It also features hacking seconds to allow for precision time setting. Running at a frequency of 4Hz, it stores 38 hours of power reserve. Water-resistance for this hefty diver is 500 metres.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The watch is worn on a blue rubber strap with a PET textile surface with a folding clasp, including a diving extension. As an alternative, there\u2019s also a steel bracelet with fine adjustment in the folding clasp available. The price for the Carl F. Bucherer Patravi ScubaTec Maldives is EUR 5,200<\/b>.<\/p>\n
