Introducing the Mathey-Tissot x Massena LAB Mergulhador Skin Diver, a reincarnation of the vintage, original Merghulador dive watch, first introduced by Mathey-Tissot in the 1970s. Originally designed and produced for both military and civilian use in the Portuguese market, the Mathey-Tissot Merghulador ( Merghulador in Portuguese translates to "diver" in English) has, over the years, become a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts of vintage dive watches. The amber dial of the Mathey-Tissot x Massena LAB Mergulhador is, in fact, inspired by a watch from William Massena's personal collection and is exclusive to this collaboration. The Mathey-Tissot x Massena LAB Mergulhador features a fumé dial with orange indices and rich, white plots of lume for its hour markers, and date at three o'clock. Its rotating bezel has black minute markings, Arabic numerals, and a luminous triangle. With a thickness of only 12.8mm, a diameter of 41mm, and a water-resistance of 200m, the Mathey-Tissot x Massena LAB Mergulhador is an extremely wearable and practical watch for the summer months and beyond. The watch is powered by the self-winding Sellita caliber 200 , with 28,800 half oscillations per hour (4 Hz), 36 hours of power reserve, and 26 jewels. The Mathey-Tissot x Massena LAB Mergulhador is a limited edition of 99 pieces.
