Core Diver Jungle Malachite
Formed Layer by Layer. Tested to 600 Meters.
Deep green. Wild bands. A dial that looks like the canopy from above. But the real story of malachite is older than any jungle legend.
More than 7,000 years ago, someone put a green stone in a fire and watched copper run out of it. That stone was malachite. It started the Copper Age, then the Bronze Age, and a lot of what came after. Now it sits under sapphire on a dive watch built to go deeper than you ever will.
The Core Diver Jungle Malachite has a dial cut from genuine malachite. Its surface is banded with light and dark green stripes, rings and swirls that no machine could copy. Only 100 will be made, and no two are the same.
Your Dial Is the Only One Like It
Malachite grows in layers. Copper-rich water laid down each band, one thin line at a time, over thousands of years. Every slab is cut, polished and set by hand, so the dial on your wrist is a one-off. Some show tight, even stripes. Others have bold bands or rings. Move it under sunlight, office light or a dive torch and the bands shift with it. The watch you receive will be yours alone.
Applied silver indexes, bold baton hands and Swiss C3 Super-LumiNova keep it easy to read, whether you're 30 meters down or at dinner.
Why Malachite
Malachite is the stone that got metal started. It was one of the first copper ores people learned to smelt. Copper led to bronze. Bronze led to tools, ships, trade and cities.
It's been prized ever since. Ancient Egyptians ground it into green eye paint. Renaissance painters used it as pigment. Russia's tsars lined whole rooms with it. The Malachite Room in the Winter Palace is still one of the most famous rooms in the world.
It's a soft stone, which is why you rarely see it on a tool watch without serious protection. Ours sits sealed under 4.0mm of sapphire in a case tested to 600 meters. An ancient stone with a modern shield around it.

FAQ
Will my dial look exactly like the photos?
No, and that's the point. Every dial is natural malachite, so the banding varies from piece to piece. Yours will be unique.
Is a stone dial durable enough for diving?
Yes. The dial is sealed under 4.0mm of sapphire inside a case tested to 600 meters. Water and pressure never touch it. It sees no more stress than any other dial.
Will there be more?
No. Once the 100 dials are gone, this edition is closed.
