Clemence Unveils Photic MKII: Depths of the Ocean Refined into Watch Artistry

Published: 01 Dec 2025
Exploring the latest evolution of the versatile, compact, and stylishly refined Clemence Photic MKII dive watch.

Clemence - a small UK watch brand - delves into the depths of the ocean for its latest creation, the Photic MKII. Drawing inspiration from the photic zone, the light-penetrated surface layer of the seas that teems with marine life, the Photic MKII mirrors this richness of life in its detailed, refined features.

The depth rating of dive watches is often seen as a race to the extreme, but Clemence takes a different approach with the Photic MKII. The 200-meter depth rating matches the upper limit of the photic zone, a depth more than sufficient for any diver, highlighting a focus on practicality and comfort. It moves away from the often overly robust and chunky designs needed to survive the deeper abyss, resulting in a more wearable, versatile piece.

In the world of dive watches, quality is often judged by a few crucial elements. Part of this is style and design, along with functionality and reliability. Clemence’s Photic MKII has meticulously crafted each aspect to meet these needs, striking a perfect balance between elegance, comfort, and practicality. All this makes the Photic MKII a remarkable example of bringing the bewildering depth of the ocean to the wrist.
