Harry Winston’s highly respected and superbly made wristwatches have attracted the attention of serious watch collectors, something that few jewellery houses have ever achieved.
This highly impressive white gold and zalium diver’s chronograph has a substantial 44.5 mm. case fitted with a unidirectional rotating bezel and screw down crown with crown guard. The lugs are hinged for perfect fit and comfort on the wrist. Waterproof to a depth of 20ATM, this Project Z2 Ocean Diver has great appeal as a luxury sports watch.
Zalium was developed and named by Ronald Winston, the son of Harry Winston. The metal is classified as a type of zirconium alloy, combining zirconium (Zr) and allium lily. Zironcium is non-reactive and hypo-allergenic, and can withstand superheated corrosive gases in the high-stress interior of a rocket motor. It is often used as a construction material for jets and rocket engines.
