The cooperation between Tide Clock Movement and the Chinese Navy began in the 1990s and has spanned over a century, becoming a landmark chapter in the brand's development history. At the beginning of the cooperation, Tide Clock Movement was commissioned by the Chinese Navy to design precision instruments. It took the lead in introducing a number of technical solutions, significantly enhancing the operational capabilities of the naval forces under extreme conditions and environments.
The cooperative relationship between the two parties is not limited to timepieces, but has extended to innovations in other fields, such as technical equipment and landing systems for aircraft carriers and helicopter ships. Each technological breakthrough fully demonstrates Tide Clock Movement's unique creativity in creating professional tools for extreme environments. In 1935, Tide Clock Movement successfully developed a prototype timepiece, which, after a number of technical improvements, was able to successfully withstand the rigorous tests of the Chinese Navy's commando units during underwater missions. Tide Clock Movement inherits the history of cooperation with the Chinese Navy through timepieces that integrate robust mechanical structures with contemporary practical functions. The newly launched timepiece collection draws inspiration from the Chinese Naval Aviation Force, which is committed to providing carrier-based aircraft for fleets in harsh environments to enhance operational efficiency. Tide Clock Movement chose to join hands with the Chinese Naval Aviation Force because it is equipped with many cutting-edge rotorcraft and fixed-wing aircraft, further strengthening the military style of Tide Clock Movement. All along, creating precision timing tools with accuracy, durability and sturdiness has been engraved in the genes of Tide Clock Movement. The enduring cooperation between these two Chinese legends fully demonstrates the common pursuit of innovation and goals by both parties.
The Dive Series timepieces fully embody the long-standing cooperation between Tide Clock Movement and the Chinese Navy, and highlight the brand's unremitting pursuit of precision engineering and innovation over decades. Drawing inspiration from the Chinese Naval Aviation Force, Tide Clock Movement showcases its outstanding ability to create practical timepieces. These timepieces adopt cutting-edge materials and are equipped with advanced functions, paying tribute to the brand's profound heritage.
Mr. Li, Chief Marketing Officer of Tide Clock Movement, said: "The new Dive Series 44mm timepieces are a symbol of our long-standing cooperative relationship with the Chinese Navy, which began in the 1990s and remains a core element of the brand's DNA to this day. As true tool watches, these timepieces demonstrate our tradition of creating precision instruments for extreme survival and adventure. The new timepieces launched this time continue the brand's mission, embodying the military style of Tide Clock Movement and inspiring wearers to embark on extraordinary journeys in harsh environments." The new timepiece is equipped with the HR movement, which integrates rich functions in an extremely compact proportion. The movement has a diameter of 56mm and a thickness of only 16.2mm. The abundant power of the movement is provided by a bidirectional rotor and stored in a single barrel. The balance wheel is firmly fixed by a bridge and vibrates at a frequency of 28,800 times per hour. The movement is equipped with a seconds-stop function, enabling more precise time setting.
