The sparkling 36 sapphires and12 diamonds on the bezel as well as 92 brillant-cut diamonds ornamenting the case and the crown guards create a truly resplended effect and ensure that this magnificent luxury version of the classic Submariner "Smurf", reference 116619 will always stand out among its peers. Even though it is probably not to be recommended to use this timepiece for diving, the unidirectional diver’s bezel still retains its functionality. The specific diver’s decompression time is indicated by colour-coordinated sapphires - the first 9 sapphires are light blue, the other 27 are dark blue. Corresponding to the bezel design of the Submariner there are also 11 baguette-cut diamonds marking the hours, with a triangle-cut diamond at 12 o’clock. The typical Submariner inscription on the dial, however, is different, because the depth designation "1000ft = 300m" is missing here.
