{"product_id":"paul-peugeot-caribbean-1000-as02269","title":"Paul Peugeot Caribbean 1000","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEstablished in 1957, Paul Peugeot (not to be confused with the car manufacturer) might now be known as a maker of fashion watches, but this diver proves that they once had some purpose-built tool watches in their arsenal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eIn the 1960s, Swiss watch manufacture Jenny created a case design that took the watch world by storm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe MONOBLOC Triple-Safe design consisted of a one-piece case with a decompression bezel that the Jenny brothers patented in 1969. Beneath the crystal, the dial was coated with Scotchlite to guarantee maximum visibility underwater.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eLike many watches of the era, these divers—dubbed Caribbean 1000 after the watch’s then-record-breaking depth rating—were offered in vibrant colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eJenny sold the watch to many different manufacturers, from Dugena to Fortis and many in between—Paul Peugeot being one of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eWhile there were a variety of case styles and dial configurations produced under the Caribbean name, they all followed a fairly simple formula: tough, professional grade watches with colorful design elements. For the dial of this diver, Paul Peugeot chose a black color that contrasts with the yellow accents of the bezel and the hour markers and hands. Whether the yellow was a technical or an aesthetic choice, we can’t be sure, but we can’t deny that the effect is striking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eWith a sharp case capped by a rotating acrylic outer bezel, it's easy to see that this timepiece's roots are anchored in classic dive watch lineages. Originally water resistant to 1000 Meters, it features a dial fashioned in the traditional DOXA style with decorative script under a warm domed acrylic crystal. Whether strapped on a colorful NATO (we recommend black and yellow) or on an old-school rubber Tropic-style strap, this watch is the perfect cure for the dive watch doldrums.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paul Peugeot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37995301185,"sku":null,"price":1800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/Paul_Peugeot_Caribbean_1000_AS02269_1.jpg?v=1506539099","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/paul-peugeot-caribbean-1000-as02269","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
