C-02 Bourbon Heritage

Elegance

Modern Heritage

With the C-02 Heritage Bourbon, we wanted to revive the style of 1960s diving watches. This amber dial and hand-patinated leather strap tell a story, a French know-how that we want to preserve. We also offer a steel bracelet with a technical folding clasp, because we know that everyone has their preferences and we want this watch to reflect you.

A limited edition, designed for those who love authenticity.

TECHNICAL

Assertive style

The double-domed sapphire crystal isn't just a matter of aesthetics. It's a true technical choice that adds depth to the dial and reinforces the vintage charm we love. The hand-patinated leather strap is designed to improve over time, strong and comfortable, ready to accompany you every day.

Craftsmanship

French Caliber

For this collection, we chose a France Ébauches movement made in Maîche. Supporting French watchmaking is a priority, and we wanted to offer a premium caliber that meets our standards. The "Top Finish" version, specially created for Akrone, combines careful decoration with manual adjustment carried out in our workshop in Nantes. All the passion and expertise of our team are expressed to offer you an authentic, reliable, and durable watch.

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%.

The C-02 is designed for divers and benefits from the experience gained from elite corps such as customs divers, mine clearance divers, and marines. It is equipped with a screw-down crown: to ensure water resistance, it must be pushed in and then screwed down firmly to prevent any infiltration of water or moisture. A truly operational diver's watch, made in Akrone.
