TIME TO BE ABYSSAL

ZRC CELEBRATES 120 YEARS OF HISTORY WITH THE PHÉNIX.

The Phénix watch (limited to 200 pieces) embodies the spirit of the deep sea, fusing history and innovation in an exceptional horological creation. Inspired by the expedition of the Phénix submarine, which mysteriously disappeared in 1939, this watch is an ode to the abysses, a tribute to the intrepid sailors who dared to explore the mysteries of the oceans. Designed to withstand extreme conditions, the Phénix is equipped with a case that is water-resistant to 1,000 meters, allowing its wearer to dive into the depths with confidence. Every detail, from the luminescent paint to the indexes on the unidirectional bezel, is designed to evoke the silent darkness and mystical beauty of the ocean floor. The back engraved with a mythical phoenix evokes rebirth and resilience, essential qualities for those who set out to explore the abyss. With the Phénix, it's time to become abyssal, to embrace the unknown and rediscover the world hidden beneath the surface, where no light penetrates, and every second is an adventure.

UNDERWATER EXPLORATION, A HUMAN AND TECHNICAL CHALLENGE.

Let's dive into the abyss, a little-known world where darkness reigns supreme and every exploration is an unparalleled adventure. ‘Time to be Abyssal’ invites you to discover the fascinating world of the deep sea, where sunlight no longer penetrates and where life has evolved in extraordinary and unexpected forms. The abyss, these mysterious, unexplored zones, are the last true pioneering front on our planet. It is a silent realm, inhabited by strange creatures and spectacular underwater landscapes, where each expedition reveals new wonders and raises new questions.

Abyssal exploration is much more than a simple adventure; it is a quest for knowledge, an attempt to understand the hidden mechanisms that govern our planet. The ocean depths are home to treasures of biodiversity, unique ecosystems that can teach us how life can survive in extreme conditions. They also hold clues to the Earth's history, recording traces of ancient times in their sediments.

But this exploration is not without its challenges. The abyss is a hostile environment, where crushing pressure and freezing temperatures test even the most advanced technologies. Yet the call of these unfathomable depths drives explorers to push back the limits, to brave the unknown. In this abyssal quest, each dive is a window onto a world that, although hidden, is essential to the balance of our planet. ‘Time to be Abyssal’ is an invitation to discover this fascinating world, to be captivated by the mysteries of the oceans and to embrace the spirit of exploration that pushes us ever further into the unknown
