Testudo - Ancora Diver 300M Tyrrhenian Blue Steel Bracelet - TST-ANC-BLU-A - Men - 2026

TESTUDO ANCORA - Tyrrhenian Blue - steel bracelet
Brand-new and unworn - full set - 24-month warranty

A deep, saturated blue, the colour of the Tyrrhenian Sea a few metres below the surface on a clear morning.

In the 1960s and '70s dive watches took on a very precise shape: cushion cases, broad shoulders guarding the crown, rotating bezels you could read in the dark. They were tools before they were collectibles. The ANCORA takes that shape and builds it with today's materials: 316L steel, anti-reflective sapphire, a screw-down crown and 300 metres of water resistance.

In Italian its name has two souls: stressed on the first syllable, ancora is the anchor that holds you steady when the sea moves; stressed on the second, it means "once more". Like the sea turtles that always return to the beach they started from, the idea behind TESTUDO, Latin for tortoise.
