Vintage DNA

OUR VISION

The C-02 Heritage Decompression watch revives the design codes of 1960s and 70s dive watches: style, robustness, and a genuine decompression table just like in the old days. Meticulously crafted in a limited series, a few pieces are still available to order for those who appreciate distinctive, well-made watches without compromise.

Limited edition 2024 — Last pieces available.

Bezel function

A WRIST DECOMPRESSION TABLE

The C-02 Héritage Décompression features a true decompression table engraved on its bezel, directly inspired by 1960s dive watches. More than an aesthetic detail, this feature provides a useful reference for divers to easily monitor their decompression stops. This technical and historical choice reinforces the identity of this automatic dive watch with its distinctive vintage style.

Made in France

Swiss Made alternative

The C-02 Heritage features a France Ébauche Top finition movement. Designed, machined, decorated for Akrone and adjusted in our workshop in Nantes. Genuine watchmaking work, made in France, that has nothing to envy of Swiss Made.

Super-Luminova® BGW9

DIAL

Glossy black finish

Index applied with Super-Luminova®.

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 BG W9 used for this version offers a luminous efficiency of approximately 95%.

MOVEMENT

France-Ebauches automatic movement - Designed / Machined / Assembled / Adjusted in France. With special decorations for Akrone: Personalized weight, rhodium-plated rose gold, Côtes de Genève on the bridges, blued screws, snailing.

44 hours of power reserve

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 is equipped with a soft and particularly resistant FKM rubber strap.

Optionally, a steel bracelet with an adjustable deployant clasp is available at the preferential price of €85 including VAT (instead of €130 including VAT if ordered separately), as well as a selection of bracelets available in the “Bracelets and accessories” section.

A video tutorial is provided for adjusting the steel bracelet. No remote adjustments are made.

Please note that our bracelets are only available in one size, suitable for wrist circumferences from 16 to 19.5 cm.
