Timeless Style

WATCHMAKING HERITAGE

The Karmin C-02 Heritage revives the style of 1960s dive watches, because we love that era and its unique aesthetic. The hand-patinated leather strap comes from a French workshop, maintaining a connection to craftsmanship and authenticity. We also offer a steel bracelet, so everyone can find the one that truly suits them.

New for 2025 — Limited editions.

TECHNICAL

Our requirement

The double-domed sapphire crystal and sapphire bezel were chosen because they give the watch depth and a real presence. This crystal is more complicated to manufacture, but it's worth it: it gives that vintage charm we were looking for. The red Karmin strap is hand-patinated, sturdy, and designed to last a long time.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

MADE IN FRANCE

We selected a movement developed and assembled in Maîche, France, because we want to support our local industry. The "Top Finish" version, specially made for Akrone, is hand-set in our workshop in Nantes. This is our way of guaranteeing you a reliable watch, built with passion and expertise.

The watch comes standard with a solid case back ensuring 300m water resistance.
You can opt for an exhibition case back (+€25): in this case, water resistance is 100m.
If you choose this option, both case backs are provided (the exhibition case back mounted and the solid case back unmounted).

Important:
The case back cannot be changed by you. Any external intervention voids the water resistance warranty.
Any modification after receipt must be carried out in our workshop.

TELESCOPE

Unidirectional sapphire bezel

120 clicks

Super-Luminova® BGW9

DIAL

Smoked and lacquered red dial

Index applied with Super-Luminova® BGW9.

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%.

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 FKM Tropic strap. A leather strap, made in France and hand-patinated, is also included in the package. Please note: leather straps are not suitable for swimming.

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

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

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