Features
Modern Heritage
The C-02 Héritage Bourbon adopts the codes of 1960s diving watches with a more contemporary interpretation, true to our vision of watchmaking. Its amber dial enhances the character of this automatic diving watch and highlights a true commitment to finishing. A steel bracelet with a deployant buckle is also available for those seeking a sportier and more technical alternative.
Assertive style
The C-02 Héritage Bourbon 41 mm stands out with its double-domed sapphire crystal, a technical choice that adds depth to the dial and reinforces the spirit of great vintage diving watches. Its hand-patinated leather strap combines comfort, durability, and character, with a patina designed to evolve naturally over time. A combination conceived to give this automatic watch a strong presence and an assertive style.
French Caliber
For the C-02 Héritagecollection, we chose a France Ébauches automatic movement, developed and manufactured in Maîche, France, in line with our commitment to actively support French watchmaking. This Top finish version, specially made for Akrone, combines meticulous decoration with manual adjustment carried out in our workshop in Nantes.

TELESCOPE
Unidirectional sapphire bezel
120 clicks
Super-Luminova® old radium
DIAL
Sunburst bourbon dial
Index applied with Super-Luminova® old radium.
The rendering of Super-LumiNova varies depending on its color.
Lighter shades allow for faster charging and provide intense, long-lasting luminosity. Darker shades, on the other hand, produce a more subtle effect with a more moderate light intensity. Proper light exposure is essential to fully activate the luminescence.
The choice of color also responds to aesthetic considerations: it is often a question of finding the right balance between luminous performance and visual harmony. For watches whose specifications require maximum nighttime readability, white Super-LumiNova is generally preferred.
In this case, if we compare the intensity of the Luminova C-03, currently the most powerful on the market and therefore equivalent to 100% according to the LumiNova classification, the Luminova Old radium used for this version offers a luminous efficiency of approximately 75%.

WATERPROOFING
300m (30ATM) with a solid bottom and 100m (10ATM) with a perforated bottom
The C-02 is designed for divers and benefits from experience gained working with elite units such as customs divers, mine clearance divers, and marines. It features a screw-down crown: to ensure water resistance, it must be pushed in and then screwed down firmly to prevent any water or moisture from entering. A true operational diving watch, made in Akrone.
Warning: you must under no circumstances change the watch face or open the watch yourself.
Any modification or intervention carried out outside of our workshop will void the warranty.
Please note that a screw-on base cannot be aligned: this is inherent to this type of construction.
Do not attempt to reposition it, this could compromise the seal by altering the compression of the gasket.
No custom engraving options are available on this background.
BRACELETS
The watch comes standard with a black Tropic FKM strap.

VAT, as well as a selection of straps available in the “Straps and Accessories” section.
