Plunging into Paulin's Debut Diver Watch: The Captivating Mara
Glasgow-based Paulin is making waves with its first diver-style timepiece, the Mara, combining water defying functionality with a unique, playful aesthetic. Named after the Gaelic word for ‘sea’, the Mara seamlessly blends the brand’s signature quirkiness and refined approach to design, complete with modular cases and in-house graphic design.
Open to the demands of underwater adventure, the Mara boasts a 300-meter water resistance rating, further enhanced by an impressively legible, lumed dial. Demonstrating its readiness to compete in the demanding field of enthusiast-focused dive watches, the Mara has been released in two colorways - the Mara Blue and Mara Black. Every model is accompanied by both a textile and rubber strap, signalling the versatile potential of this exciting timepiece.
What sets the Mara apart in a crowded playground of underwater-themed watches is its delightful blend of personality and precision. The new case design showcases elegant curves, reminiscent of toys but far from trivial. Its predominant feature is a capacious and geometric display, with hour markers and hands designed for maximal legibility. As a nod to their in-house design prowess, Paulin has employed its signature ‘Wim’ font for the bezel and dial numerals.
With an eye for color adaptation and a strong potential for future variations, the Paulin Mara Diver is far from being just another watch. Instead, it’s an innovative timepiece that’s ready to dive into the horological marketplace with splashing success.
