The Ianos Amfivios is a new addition to the Greek watch brand Ianos, marking the transition of a military model to the civilian market. The watch is based on the Ianos OYK, a model developed for the Greek Navy's Underwater Demolition Command. Ianos has retained the functional approach of the OYK, removing elements exclusive to military use. The Amfivios is designed for a wider audience, focusing on robustness, readability, and everyday comfort.
The Ianos Amfivios features a compact and resistant design, with a monobloc case made of grade 2 titanium, measuring 41mm in diameter, 49mm in length, and 14.68mm in thickness. The titanium material was chosen for its lightweight properties, corrosion resistance, and solidity in marine environments. The watch's matte and micro-beaded finish reduces glare, making it suitable for outdoor use.
The Amfivios boasts a screw-down crown, a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment, and a unidirectional rotating bezel with 120 positions. The watch is water-resistant up to 300 meters, exceeding standard recreational diving requirements. The single-piece rubber strap, paired with a micro-beaded titanium buckle, features an integrated channel system, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.
The Ianos Amfivios features a black matte dial, a first for Ianos' Diver collection. The design maintains a sober appearance, with luminous elements providing high contrast. The dial layout includes a date window at 12 o'clock and Super-LumiNova-treated hands and indices for clear readability in low-light conditions.
The watch is powered by the Swiss Sellita SW360-1 automatic movement, providing reliable long-term performance. The movement features 31 jewels, operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, and offers a 56-hour power reserve. The SW360-1 movement is known for its robustness and ease of maintenance, making it suitable for intensive use.
The Ianos Amfivios is a response to enthusiasts seeking a diving watch inspired by a military model, without the exclusive elements reserved for the Greek Navy. The watch's design prioritizes functionality over aesthetics, making it suitable for both everyday wear and professional diving.
The Ianos Amfivios is set to be available for purchase, although the official public price has not been disclosed. The watch is expected to appeal to horology enthusiasts seeking a robust and functional timepiece with a unique Greek identity and a direct link to a professional military model.
