New Models First in Japan, Ahead of the World

Compact Size, Perfect Presence

Bucherer's models have predominantly featured large sizes exceeding 40mm, and the brand's iconic square cushion case model, the "Patravi EvoTec," was no exception.

However, due to requests from the Japanese market for a smaller model, a model under 40mm has finally arrived. This "Patravi EvoTec Big Date" streamlines functions, featuring a big date display with two discs at the 11 o'clock position, to achieve its compact size.

While retaining its impactful design, it adopts dimensions of 38.54mm vertically and 39.25mm horizontally, suited for the Japanese physique. This ensures a natural fit even on relatively slender wrists.

Retaining the in-house movement with the world's first peripheral rotor, announced in 2008, it has become an easily selectable model, especially in terms of its perfect size.

The specification, particularly with the dial, bezel, crown, and strap in blue, is refreshing and casual. It's also a trendy color and is poised to become very popular. In Japan, it has been on sale since April 25th, marking the first release worldwide.

Variations Steadily Expanding

The "Patravi ScubaTec" is Bucherer's first diver's watch, introduced in 2014.

With a water resistance of 500m, it supports saturation diving for professional divers. It features a dedicated helium escape valve for automatic release of helium gas, demonstrating Bucherer's high level of technical expertise.

The brand supports the Manta Trust's activities, which focus on academic research of manta rays, the world's largest rays, and marine life conservation. The case back is engraved with the figures of two manta rays.

Externally, the unidirectional rotating bezel, filled with liquid ceramic, is particularly striking. It is scratch-resistant, making the metal indices stand out, and the bright blue serves as a design accent.

In 2015, variations expanded with the introduction of rose gold cases and white dials. The photo shows a white dial with a stainless steel case. Both offer an elegant appearance and are practical designs for both business and leisure.

Upgraded on the 10th Anniversary of the Model's Debut

The "Patravi TravelTec" is a large travel chronograph with a highly legible GMT function. Introduced in 2005, it celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. To commemorate this, the new "Patravi TravelTec II" has been announced.

Its feature is the ability to display three time zones simultaneously. Local time (first time zone) is shown by the regular time display. Home time (second time zone) is indicated by the 24-hour index on the bezel and the 24-hour hand. A third time zone can be tracked by adjusting the inner 24-hour index on the dial according to the time difference.

The third time zone adjustment is made by pressing the push-button at 10 o'clock, which moves the inner ring of the dial in one-hour increments. It also includes a selector to indicate whether the adjustment is for eastward or westward travel.

Furthermore, with this watch, the date display can be adjusted backward. It is a travel watch that combines high operability with functionality.
