Jacques Bianchi Marseille continues its tradition of celebrating Mediterranean horological and maritime heritage with the launch of its latest timepiece, the JB200 Maxi Dial. Following the success of the JB200 Marégraphe, this new model embodies the brand’s commitment to innovation, design, and exceptional craftsmanship.
Design: Bold Simplicity
The JB200 Maxi Dial stands out with its bold and minimalist design. It focuses on essential watchmaking values—functionality, elegance, and robustness. Inspired by the classic design of the Marégraphe, the Maxi Dial features an oversized, clean dial that ensures optimal readability in all conditions. Diving enthusiasts particularly favor this design for its large indices, which allow quick and precise time reading.
The watch offers two configurations: the signature “destro” version with the crown on the left and a standard version with the crown on the right. This variety caters to different preferences among collectors and enthusiasts. Additionally, the red 24-hour marking on the dial adds a distinctive touch, emphasizing the watch’s exclusivity and timeless utility.
Precision Mechanics and Robust Construction
Jacques Bianchi equips the JB200 Maxi Dial with a Swiss SoProd P024 automatic movement, known for its precision and reliability. The watch is water-resistant to 200 meters (20 bars), making it suitable for underwater exploration and water sports.
The 42mm case, made from 316L stainless steel, exudes a modern and unique personality. The brushed finish enhances its durability. The sapphire crystal and Super-Luminova-treated bezel ensure the watch remains legible and resilient in all lighting conditions. With a black dial featuring 11 luminescent indices, the display is clear and functional. The tropic-style black rubber strap, paired with a stainless steel tang buckle, adds practicality and comfort.
A Collector’s Piece with Timeless Appeal
The JB200 Maxi Dial is more than just a watch; it is a collectible piece reflecting the innovative spirit of Jacques Bianchi Marseille. Each model represents a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity, offering an exceptional experience to its wearers. Limited production and meticulous craftsmanship ensure that this watch will transcend time, becoming a lasting symbol of Jacques Bianchi’s dedication to excellence.
