Diver watches have been around since the 1950s and are no longer worn just for diving. It is a popular version of a watch that comes with a functional, modern look and at the same time exudes sophisticated character.
DuBois et fils has created a unique, reinterpreted version of this particularly valued watch model. The DBF007-02 is a Swiss Diver watch with many highlights.
CASE BACK WITH DUBOIS ET FILS FAMILY COAT
The DuBois et fils family coat of arms with numerous elements is engraved on the back of the Diver watch DBF007-02. Three fir trees dominate the bottom of the stainless steel case. They are not only a beautiful element, but also underline our connection to the DuBois family – a fir tree also appears in our logo and thus symbolically stand at the heart of the Swiss watchmaking industry.
GOOD GRIP AND HIGH QUALITY
The DBF007-02 is equipped with a wide, unidirectional rotating diver's bezel. The black bezel is particularly easy to use and gives good grip even underwater. In order to give the rotating ring a nicer finish and better quality, it is made of fine ceramic.
SUPERLUMINOVA
Good readability of the time or the measured minutes under water is guaranteed with this watch DBF007-02. Thanks to Superluminova, the Diver watch has excellent luminosity.

The extravagant facet of the DuBois et fils Diver watch creates special lighting effects. The sapphire crystal of the DBF007-02 isn’t cambered, but laterally ground by hand. It gives the watch its very own character.

Leather case made from skins of Swiss wild animals
Swiss wild animals get their skins stuck to stones or branches and are therefore considered unsuitable for the production of leather goods. However, DuBois et fils took the decision to use such skins from deer, chamois and roe deer — which are normally destroyed after hunting — to make leather cases. Each DBF007 is delivered in this handmade packaging. Not one piece is like another, each copy is unique.
