Diver
Line History
The Diver line represents the meeting point between Revue Thommen's historic instrumental vocation — born in the 1930s with the production of altimeters and cockpit instruments for Swiss aviation — and the demands of the professional diving watch, a field several Swiss watch brands with technical traditions ventured into starting in the postwar period. While not claiming the same historical depth as the Airspeed, the Diver line fits coherently within the brand's positioning as a maker of robust instrument-watches rather than simple accessories.
The line's reference model, marketed as the Diver XL, features a 42 mm steel case, a grooved unidirectional rotating bezel for timing dives, a high-contrast dial with generously luminescent indices and hands, and a stated water resistance of 300 meters — a value in line with the industry's professional standards. The automatic ETA 2824-2 movement, one of the most widespread and reliable three-hand calibers in the Swiss industry, ensures precision and ease of maintenance.
Over the years the line has been enriched with GMT-function variants, designed for those who also use the watch as a travel instrument across multiple time zones, and with dial color variations — black, blue, green, orange — that broaden the offering without affecting the basic technical layout: a steel bracelet with deployant clasp and diver's extension, a sapphire crystal with a lens over the date, and a satin-finished or PVD-coated case in the darker versions.

Main Executions
Unlike the Airspeed, which claims a direct lineage from the cockpit instruments the brand produced in the 1930s-40s, the Diver line was born in a more recent era: a sign of how Revue Thommen, while staying true to its identity as an instrument-watch, has chosen in recent decades to broaden its catalogue into technical fields beyond the purely aeronautical one that gave it its name.
