Notes
Ref. ST 166.0068
was launched in 1969, and was created especially with the needs of professional divers in mind. The twotone
bezel allows divers to instantly see when less than 20 minutes of dive time remain. In the case of the
present watch, a high-visibility yellow dial permits easy reckoning of the hours and minutes.
The present watch was delivered to the French Service hydrographique et océanographique, a branch of
the French Marine Corps, responsible for deep-sea exploration and demolition.
