The Waterman Apex II stands as a pinnacle of Bremont’s dive watch collection. Its design and functionality are influenced by Laird Hamilton, arguably the greatest big wave surfer of all time. Hamilton's spirit of pushing boundaries and embracing the power of the ocean is imbued in every aspect of the Waterman Apex II.
Sporting a 43mm stainless steel case, the Waterman Apex II is both sturdy and stylish. The watch features Bremont’s signature Trip-Tick® case construction with a scratch-resistant DLC-treated case barrel, ensuring it withstands the toughest environments. Its black ceramic uni-directional 24-hour bezel, coupled with the automatic helium escape valve and crown protector, underscores its readiness for deep-sea exploration.

At the heart of the Waterman Apex II lies the modified Calibre 11 1/2 BE-932AV, boasting 25 jewels and a 50-hour power reserve. This movement, with its Glucydur balance wheel and Anachron balance spring, ensures precise timekeeping in the most challenging conditions.
The watch's matte black dial, decorated with a shark fin motif amongst waves, is framed by a new Harbour Blue dial flange, perfectly complementing its Harbour Blue integrated rubber strap. The use of Super-LumiNova® on the applied indexes and hands ensures optimum visibility, while vibrant orange accents add a touch of dynamic style.
The Waterman Apex II offers versatility with its strap options. Whether you choose the black integrated rubber, the Harbour Blue integrated rubber, or the stainless steel bracelet, each option provides comfort and durability, suitable for both aquatic adventures and everyday wear.

With a water resistance of 500 meters (50 ATM), the Waterman Apex II is engineered for the most demanding underwater environments. Its domed anti-reflective, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal adds to its resilience, ensuring clarity and durability.
Bremont has applied several layers of Super-LumiNova® to the hands and markers of the Waterman Apex II, enhancing its readability in poor lighting conditions. This feature is particularly vital for divers who require clear visibility underwater.
The Waterman Apex II is chronometer rated to ISO 3159 standard, a testament to its precision and reliability. This certification is a hallmark of high-quality watchmaking, assuring the wearer of the watch's accuracy.
