Both inspired by the dark blue changing colours of the North Sea’s deep waters, the black/blue fumé dials on these two mirror image pieces feature varied gradations of blue and black; the dial surrounded by a sandblasted, highly anti corrosive, titanium grade 2 case.
 
Each piece can be paired with a range of straps, including our natural rubber strap, all now consisting of 30% recycled rubber and representing our continuous move towards using the most sustainable materials we can source.

Oktopus Nord

Powered by the modified Dubois Dépraz double date movement, this series introduces Linde Werdelin’s first Oktopus series with a full titanium grade 2 case (all previously manufactured Oktopus of this generation have a ceramic bezel).
 
A highly technical watch made for diving and continuously tested by Linde Werdelin’s divers it is able to submerge to great depths and resist any corrosion normally associated with submersion in salt water.
 
The case construction is inspired by diving bells. A central piece containing the movement symbolises protection of life while the outer case parts serves functionality with strap. A two layer dial comprises an upper layer dial laser-cut in stencil technique with both layers individually handcrafted to create the gradations in blue and black. The  hands are in stainless steel with satin finish and ultramarine luminova.
 
The Oktopus Nord is a limited edition of 88 numbered pieces.

SpidoLite Nord 

The SpidoLite family is focused on extreme weight-reduction invented in 2008 and inspired by an expedition to Mount Everest in 2007. The family is designed to balance strength with lightness and optimise performance, particularly in high altitude pursuits.
 
The SpidoLite Nord is powered by a customised movement developed with the Jacquet’s family owned factory Concepto. It includes ceramic bearings as well as a strengthened balance wheel to maximise reliability.
 
It is entirely crafted in titanium grade 2, with a sandblasted finish on the case, and constructed of 19 components. It features a two-part skeletonised Nord fume dial and see-through sapphire crystal backcase.
 
The SpidoLite Nord is a limited edition of 75 numbered pieces.

 

The Oktopus and SpidoLite Nords, as with all our watches, can be purchased with a range of interchangeable straps of varied colours and textures. We recommend a midnight blue, pitch black or snow white rubber strap. The Linde Werdelin interchangeable strap system comes as a further benefit to our customer.
