Airain Sous-Marine 'Deep Blue' 524.422
The Airain Sous-Marine “Deep Blue” 524.422 delivers a bold yet refined take on the brand’s vintage-inspired dive watch formula, anchored by its rich, ocean-toned blue dial. Housed in a stainless steel case, the watch stays true to mid-century design cues with clean lines, balanced proportions, and a highly legible layout. The deep blue dial adds a modern edge, contrasted by luminous markers and classic handset styling that ensure clarity in all conditions. Paired with a unidirectional bezel and a domed crystal, it captures the essence of traditional dive watches while offering the reliability of a contemporary automatic movement.
What makes the “Deep Blue” stand out is its versatility—it leans sporty but carries enough refinement to work beyond just casual settings. The dial shifts subtly with light, giving it depth and personality without feeling overdone. Combined with solid construction and thoughtful finishing, this reference hits that sweet spot between heritage and modern wearability. For collectors looking for a clean, ocean-inspired diver with authentic roots and everyday usability, the Sous-Marine “Deep Blue” is an easy win.
The Movement:
The movement inside the Airain Sous-Marine is the Swiss-Made AM5 automatic calibre, based on the La Joux-Perret G100. It features a 68-hour power reserve, a tungsten rotor for smooth rotation and weight distribution, and is regulated to four positions for accuracy. The movement is decorated with Geneva stripes and blue polished screws, ensuring both performance and aesthetic appeal.
Parmentier Crown:
The case features a so-called Parmentier crown that adds even more character. The Parmentier construction consists of a small winding crown and a large screw-on cap to cover it. This helps make the Sous-Marine water resistant to 200 meters. The screw-on cap features a notched recess on the outside so you can operate the small crown underneath. A practical thing to keep in mind is that the cap comes off the watch as a separate element.
