THE PROJECT

After one year of development and following the recommendations of the Sea Rescuers, MATWATCHES is delighted to present a new edition of its Compressor watch which strengthens its partnership signed in 2019 with the SNSM.

Respecting the strict technical specifications of the Sea Rescuers, the «SNSM Compressor Black Edition» signs a return to its roots for MATWATCHES which has become well known -15 years ago- with watch creations exclusively designed in black PVD. In that respect, the «SNSM Black Edition» is a true collector.

  • SINCE 1967

    The SNSM (the Société Nationale de Sauvetage en Mer - the National Company of Sea Rescuers) is a non-profit association under the French law of 1901, created in 1967 through the merger of the Société Centrale de Sauvetage des Naufragés (SCSN - the Central Company for Sea Rescue), founded by Admiral Rigault de Genouilly in 1865, and the Société des Hospitaliers Sauveteurs Bretons (HSB - the Society of Sea Rescuers of Brittany), created by Henri Nadault de Buffon In 1873, two centuryold associations born of an age-old maritime tradition: that of volunteers rescuing people at sea, free of charge. The SNSM was recognized to be of public utility by the decree of April 30th, 1970.

TRUST BY SEA RESCUE WORKERS

The Compressor case is equipped with 2 screwdown crowns integrated in the body to ensure it is water-proof and to provide maximum durability. The 4H winding mechanism means the watch can be regulated while the 2H crown activates the internal rotating bezel. This watch comes in a black PVD satin-brushed execution and a black sunburst dial distinguished by fine touches of orange for optimum readability. Waterproof to 200 metres, with a Swiss automatic movement, a domed sapphire glass and reinforced spring bars, this useful watch is both technically sophisticated and elegant. With a diameter of 42.5mm, this aquatic watch is equipped with a rubber strap with a deployant buckle, as well as a black canvas strap. The two are easy to swap using the tool provided. Its highly-resistant case is made of recycled black leather, an orange zipper and bears the emblem of the SNSM, and you can take it with you wherever you go.
