Male watches EDOX Hydro-Sub Automatic 80128-3BUM-BUIO 1965 Limited Edition

The EDOX Hydro-Sub Automatic 80128-3BUM-BUIO Limited Edition watch is a rebirth of an iconic Edox model.

Six decades after it captivated the watchmaking industry, the Edox Hydro-Sub model returns in spectacular fashion.

The limited edition Hydro-Sub automatic chronometer is new, improved and with smart 21st-century elements – but it still contains the timelessly excellent DNA of the original Hydro-Sub model from the 1960s, which helped make Edox the “Water Champion” of the watchmaking industry. Only 500 pieces worldwide of this limited model are produced.

As with the original model, the water resistance is 300 m (30 ATM). Innovations that made the original Hydro-Sub so impressive, such as the screw-down crown with a double O-ring, have been preserved and even refined. The unidirectional rotating bezel is made of scratch-resistant ceramic.

The 2,5 mm thick sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides ensures a crystal-clear view of the dial, which is essential when diving. The unmistakable lines of the original 1965 watch are carried over into the EDOX Hydro-Sub Automatic 80128-3BUM-BUIO Limited Edition. The dial indices and the minute and hour hands are coated with Super-LumiNova, a Swiss-made luminescent material that ensures maximum visibility under water or in low light.

The design of this model is clean and practical, focusing on what is essential and removing unnecessary “clutter”.

The solid steel strap is very similar to the one on the original model. However, the steel strap has also been refined here; the matte satin links are more precisely aligned and have a smoother surface, ensuring a perfect fit on the wrist.

As with diving, the most important thing is what is "below the surface". The watch is powered by the Swiss mechanical Edox Caliber 80 movement, made by the Swiss movement manufacturer Sellita, with automatic winding. It is fitted with 26 jewels, operates at a frequency of 28 800 vibrations per hour and the power reserve is the classic 38 hours. The movement also features hacking and the option of manual winding.

The movement used in the watch has a chronometer certificate and thus meets demanding standards of accuracy and precision. Each Calibre 806 movement, which is based on the Sellita SW200 movement, meets the strict conditions set by the Swiss chronometer testing authority COSC, a non-profit body dedicated to Swiss watchmaking. Each certified chronometer movement is marked with a number engraved on the movement.

Hand-assembled EDOX Hydro-Sub Automatic 80128-3BUM-BUIO Limited Edition combines practical functionality, technical perfection and a clean, refined vintage design.

The watch is capable of handling any situation on land, in the air and at sea, and has excellent legibility even in the most extreme conditions.
