REF. 5303 PLD
PLONGEURS DÉMINEURS

INSTRUMENT OF THE FRENCH NAVY EOD DIVERS

Developed in collaboration with the French Navy’s EOD Divers Association, the Ref. 5303 is evolving to meet the specific needs of these underwater operations experts.

READABILITY, PRECISION
AND RELIABILITY

Like the original SERICA Diving Chronometer, the ref. 5303 PLD offers outstanding readability. Its 39 mm 316L steel case is water-resistant to 30 Bars of pressure and houses the SoProd M100 automatic mechanical caliber, in its most elegant finishing and finest adjustment: the COSC Chronometer Certification standards.

The finest materials used in its manufacture - ceramic, enamel and sapphire - as well as its refined and compact dimensions, make it just as relevant on land as it is underwater.

'DT MAX' SCALE

The new 'DT MAX' graduated ceramic bezel features a twin-scale (meters and minutes) to display the Maximum 'Working Time' at each given depth, enabling continuous ascent without decompression stops.

A specific work scale, deeply rooted in the habits and history of French EOD Divers.

ABYSSAL BLUE

A new shade of dark blue ceramic, nuanced with hints of gray and green. The color of France, of course, in a most elegant shade, and crafted in a material that offers endless reflections.

 

'AMAGNETIC CHRONOMETER'

A new marking on the dial, for enhanced safety.
Indeed, the magnetic signature of a battery, a magnet, or a printed circuit board can trigger the detonation of a munition which is why diving with a mechanical watch is far from trivial for EOD Divers.

 

'FAT LOLLIPOP'

The Ref. 5303 PLD features, for the first time, a large 'Fat Lollipop' second hand with an enlarged luminous marker.

An even more legible running indicator, developed at the request of the EOD Divers.indicator, developed at the request of the EOD Divers.

 

NEW 'SERICA PLD' STRAPS

Inspired by the design, materials, and historic color of handmade straps used by French divers in the 70s, the SERICA ‘PLD’ straps now feature newly signed, redesigned buckles with polished-satin finishes.

A historic French signature offering exceptional comfort.
