H2O HELBERG KALMAR 2 OCEANICTIME “10MILES” TITANIUM Ti 5, ETA 2892 -
ABYSS BLUE.

H2O KALMAR 2 OEANICTIME 10 MILES H2O Watch of Germany and British, dedicated dive watch blog, OceanicTime celebrate a 10 year milestone with a depth defying, high water-resistance wristwatch. The H2O KALMAR 2 OEANICTIME 10 MILES has been engineered to outperform even the most waterproof experimental wristwatches as well as the deepest diving deep-sea submersibles, by miles!
KALMAR 2 The 10 MILES is based on H2O Watch’s flagship diver’s model, the second generation Kalmar, the Kalmar 2 which boasts a re-engineered case architecture, designed using advanced FEM software – as simply increasing its case-back and crystal thickness would not have been sufficient to achieve the staggering 16’093 meters of water-resistance that the 10 MILES is officially certified to.
Taking its name from the German for Giant Squid; a creature that can measure up to 13 meters long and that inhabits a dark world thousands of feet below the waves, the first generation Kalmar, released in 2011 was officially tested to 600 bar, the equivalent of 6’000 meters of water-resistance.
Its successor, the Kalmar 2 was created as a Special Edition in 2015 for the OcenicTime blog and was able to gain 2’000m on its older sibling with an incredible depth-rating of 8’000 meters!
The 10 MILES has now, more than double that with its 16’093m depth-rating, and is a good 4’000 meters more water-resistance than any famous Swiss brand’s experimental wristwatch – it is the deepest diving mechanical wristwatch ever built!

Ti GRADE 5 Grade 5 Titanium is H2O Watch's case material of choice for projects such as the 10 MILES; their engineers favor the aerospace-grade material for its increased tensile strength which makes it almost twice as strong as 316L Stainless steel yet 40% lighter.
For reference, Titanium Grade 5 has a hardness of 349 Vickers. By comparison 316L Stainless steel has a hardness of 152 while Titanium Grade 2 is 149 Vickers.
Another benefit of Titanium is that it is hypoallergenic, meaning that, it will not react with your skin to cause irritation.
SAPPHIRE The 10 MILES is fitted with a domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with a multi-layered anti-reflective treatment on its inner side. The sapphire crystal is only second to diamond in its hardness, scoring 9 out of 10 on the Mohs mineral hardness scale.
Grown synthetically in cylindrical sticks called boules, the production of a sapphire crystal is a slow, expensive and energy-intensive process.
H2O Watch select only the very highest quality crystals for their watches as even the slightest imperfection in the crystal could result in a catastrophic breach of the watch case – if you were ever to find your 10 MILES watch in such an extreme environment.
The 10 MILES is offered with a choice of 8.25mm or 10.50mm thick sapphire crystals. The choice is purely an aesthetic one as both our crystal easily surpassed the watch’s 16’093m depth-rating.

DIAL Offered in ABYSS BLUE the dial of the 10 MILES has been designed for optimum legibility; both date aperture and minute track are noticeably absent. Instead large professional-style appliqué indexes with chrome surrounds dominate the dial, an H2O Watch signature, disrupted only by the presence of a single Arabic numeral, the ‘’10’’ whose presence is more than a simple quirk.
A specific design feature, the “10” not only relates to the 10 MILES name but once again to OceanicTime’s 10 Year Anniversary which coincidentally fell on the 10th month of this year. Matching the chromed indexes are a set of chromed arrow-head hands and the H2O Watch and OCEANICTIME logos as well as the ‘’10 MILES’’ name / water-resistance text.
All hands and dial markers of the 10 MILES watch have been generously filled with Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 which emits a bright blue light.

MOVEMENT What makes the 10 MILES so extraordinary is that locked within its hermetically sealed vault-like case, it houses a Swiss made, self-winding mechanical movement. This is no oil-filled, quartz-powered, pretender!
Powering the 10 MILES is a Swiss made ETA 2892 ELABORE automatic movement with. Each watch is individually regulated by a German watchmaker for increased accuracy and precision.
Its functions include: hours, minutes and sweep and hacking seconds.
