Discover the Intricacies and Superb Craftsmanship of the Limited Edition Edox Hydro-Sub Watches

The exclusive Hydro-Sub timepieces are amongst the most sought-after releases from the Swiss brand, Edox. With six limited-edition models, each utilising the same platform but adorned with subtle cosmetic distinctions, they represent a vital part of the brand’s contemporary offerings. One particular standout piece, the Edox Hydro-Sub Date Automatic Chronometer, has already sold out, whereas another has emerged from an innovative partnership between Edox and Swiss design company, Label Noir. \ The Edox Hydro-Sub Date Automatic Chronometer is showcased in two distinct colorways; one combines blue and orange, whereas the other marries grey with orange. Several of Edox’s current models feature remarkable water-resistance capabilities, a standout amongst them being the Edox Neptunian collection. However, the Hydro-Sub holds its own, offering a modern reimagining of the original Hydro-Sub series that first debuted in 1965. \ Edox has maintained an innovative approach towards water resistance, using multiple gaskets within the crown to prevent any water intrusion. The brand is credited with developing the first double-gasket crown system compatible with a shock-resistance mechanism. Such a design offers excellent protection against both water and dust, creating a secure barrier between the movement and the user. Moreover, the modern Edox Hydro-Sub Date Automatic Chronometer watches showcase up to 300 meters of water resistance. \ The design of the Hydro-Sub is not only captivating but also practical. Despite having a 42mm wide steel case, which is a mere 12.5mm thickness, the watch’s clever design makes it seem even thinner. The broad, curved sides and bowl-like caseback, along with the protruding sapphire crystal, bestow the watch with superb wearability that doesn’t compromise its robustness. Further enhancing its aesthetic allure are polished ceramic rotating bezel inserts in black or blue, and highly legible faces, completing an offering that expertly balances boldness with subtlety.
