Optimally designed for underwater use, this model invites wearers to immerse themselves in a world of extremes.
The story
In 2021, Cuervo y Sobrinos announced a partnership with the world record holder, Francisco ‘Pipin’ Ferreras. Sometimes described as a ‘human fish’, Pipin is probably best known for ‘No-Limits’ freediving, the discipline where he first came to prominence. He established the first world record for ‘No-Limits’ freediving back in November 1989, descending to a depth of 112 meters.

In recognition of Pipin’s many achievements, Cuervo y Sobrinos is pleased to unveil a new limited edition model in his honour, the Buceador Caribe Pipin.
Optimally designed to be legible whether underwater or on terra firma, the Buceador Caribe Pipin features a pure white dial incorporating blue and red accents, a homage to the Cuban flag. The white indices are outlined in blue while the minute hand, the most critical indication underwater, is accentuated with an bright red edge. Both the hands and indices are lined with Super-LumiNova®.
Housed in a highly complex, 43mm steel case, featuring a container-type construction, this divers’ watch is water resistant to 200m. An ingenious pusher system, positioned at 4 o’clock, unlocks the crown at 2 o’clock. The crown, once again executed in red, is used to adjust the internal rotating bezel, allowing the wearer to monitor their dive time. A further crown, located at 9 o' clock, is used to adjust the indications as well as tension the mainspring. The Buceador Caribe Pipin is presented on a white high-gloss rubber strap and is also supplied with a blue leather strap.
