PHOTIC MKII
Four years of quiet development have resulted in a complete evolution of our debut dive watch. The Photic MKII blends advanced materials, British precision assembly, and field testing to create our most capable and technically advanced watch yet.
DETAILS THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
ENGINEERING YOU CAN FEEL
At just 9.9mm (10.5mm with crystal), the Photic MKII packs full dive capability into a profile that wears like a refined everyday watch. This class-leading thinness comes from a fully re-engineered case, custom tooling, and the precision of small-batch British assembly. The case is stepped with purpose: a 39mm bezel gives wrist presence, the 38.5mm mid-case allows subtle bezel overhang and grip, and the 37.5mm inner diameter between the lugs hides practical benefits in plain sight. Bracelet seams vanish, chunky straps clear the case, pass-through straps sit flat, and the bezel remains easy to grip even in gloves or cold conditions. Polished chamfers and a broad 26-degree underside bevel let the case curve naturally into the wrist. The Photic MKII feels slim, balanced, and remarkably comfortable - every millimetre designed for performance you can feel.
904L STEEL PRECISION BALL-BEARING BEZEL
The bezel is machined from 904L stainless steel for exceptional corrosion resistance and long-term resilience – particularly important for moving parts exposed to marine environments. The sapphire insert offers superior hardness and lasting clarity, while the 120-precision-click ball-bearing mechanism provides a crisp, consistent action which will last a lifetime, thanks to the superior mechanical properties of 904L steel.
FORM MEETS FUNCTION
A hardened surface coating protects all of the steel touch points from everyday wear, making them 5x more scratch resistant than regular steel. Meanwhile, a custom-engineered movement enclosure shields from over 25,000 A/m of magnetic fields and shock. Together, they ensure the Photic MKII stays accurate, resilient, and looking sharp – wherever you take it.
ENHANCED BRACELET
Fully articulated links, chamfered edges, a comfortable 20 to16mm taper, and an on-the-fly micro-adjust clasp. Did we mention the 2/3rd sized link – a perfect fit guaranteed.
SPECIFICATIONS
COLOURWAYS
The familiar warmth of our Munro yellow, plunged it into a dive setting - the hue of ripe mango, creatures found in shallow reefs, and golden-hour light. It’s cheerful without shouting, and effortlessly wearable day to day. Black faceted hands and markers give crisp definition, loaded with white Grade A BGW9 lume that turns a vivid blue at night. Surrounding the dial, a deep black sapphire bezel adds richness and dimensionality.
A slate grey bezel and outer dial ring, paired with a light warm grey inner dial finished with a fine frosted texture that adds subtle depth and character. Black hands and applied hour markers provide sharp contrast, ensuring clarity and legibility at a glance. Named after the silver tones of fish shoals, it’s a refreshing take on the traditional white dive watch, softening the stark look and creating something with effortless style. Shoal balances texture, tone, and contrast to create a watch that’s both sophisticated and approachable.
A layout that feels immediately purposeful, the kind of contrast typically seen on professional-grade equipment. Shifting the same warm yellow found on Nemo to the bezel and outer dial ring, creating a bold, high-visibility halo against a matt black dial. The dial printing alternates between white on the inner minute track and black on the yellow outer track, ensuring definition wherever you look. The hands take a more technical approach too - fully black, allowing the white lume to become the key point of contrast. It gives them a clean, stealthy profile while remaining highly legible at a glance. The second hand stays bright white for maximum readability. Around the edge, the yellow bezel carries sharp black markers and a black-outlined, lumed triangle at 12 - functional, clear, and easy to read in low light or underwater. Kraken has a purposeful feel, without slipping into an overly ‘tactical’ look. The warm yellow accents keep it approachable and characterful - practical, yes, but still charming on the wrist.
Photic is our namesake colourway and a direct continuation of used on original Photic Diver. Its sunray dial fades from deep ocean blue at the centre to black at the outer edges, capturing the shifting light of the top 200m of the ocean - the Photic Zone, where sunlight still reaches and marine life thrives in abundance. Hands, markers, and the printed outer track are finished in bronze-gilt, adding warmth, depth, and a touch of refined character to the dial. Against this, the deep black bezel frames the design with clarity and contrast. Photic balances natural inspiration with practical readability: luminous markers remain clear even in low light, while the warm bronze-gilt elements give the watch personality without compromising legibility. It’s a colourway built to evoke the ocean’s upper layers - bright, energetic, and full of life, yet grounded and versatile for everyday wear.
Moray features a matt black dial with crisp white printing and polished silver hands and markers. The second hand is bright white, adding contrast and a purposeful touch. Its slate grey bezel offers a subtle alternative to the ubiquitous black, adding character while keeping the look understated and refined. Named after Scotland’s Moray Firth, a rugged stretch of coastline, famed for its wildlife and dramatic storms. Moray feels precise and composed - practical in design, yet quietly characterful.
