The Bühlmann Decompression 02 emerges as an infallible mechanical guardian. Designed for technical and recreational divers, this Swiss watch incorporates Professor Albert A. Bühlmann’s ZH-L16B algorithm, recognized as the global standard for decompression calculators. It offers an analog display of stops for 17 profiles in the « Golden Zone » (18-39 meters), complemented by a manual Fly/No-Fly indicator post-dive. Ideal as a backup to a failing digital BCD, it accurately times total dive duration and mandatory stops, enhancing safety without relying on batteries.

Inclined Case, Armor at 575 Meters

Imagine diving beyond 500 meters, where pressure crushes everything: the Bühlmann Decompression 02 withstands up to 575 meters (57.5 ATM), in tribute to Bühlmann’s hyperbaric record. Its 48.5 mm diameter 316L stainless steel case, inclined at 5° for optimal readability underwater, measures 58.5 mm from lug to lug and 17.2 mm thick. The multi-layer architecture with reinforced seals and helium valve on the left crown evacuates inert gases during deep dives, preventing narcosis. The anti-reflective sapphire glass and the engraved screw-down back with 8 screws ensure absolute watertightness, even in aggressive saline environments.

Twin Safety Bezel: Double Safety for Your Stops

At the heart of this innovation is the Twin Safety Bezel®, a patented dual counter-rotating bezel: counterclockwise inner for total dive time (with integrated safety lock) and clockwise outer for decompression stops. Select a profile via the right crown on the Twin Decompression Dial®, visible at 6 o’clock: stops at 9 m, 6 m, and 3 m are displayed precisely. The XXL minute hand, luminescent Super-LumiNova® X1 (up to 60% brighter after two hours, ISO 3157 standard), ensures instinctive reading in low visibility. Its Swiss automatic movement Sellita SW300 (25 jewels, 28,800 vibrations/hour, 56-hour reserve) avoids electronic failures and positions the watch as a reliable companion for trimix or nitrox.
