PRODUCT DETAILS
The Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Skeleton carries heritage-inspired character from the 1962 Captain Cook into a plasma high-tech ceramic construction.
Engineered from pure zirconium oxide, the monobloc case and bracelet undergo a plasma treatment that transforms the material at a molecular level to produce a distinctive metallic look.
A grey-tinted sapphire crystal dial reveals the skeletonized 25-jewel calibre R808 movement, featuring horizontal brushing and a rose gold-coloured centre wheel bridge.

WATER RESISTANCE
Please check the marking on the back of your watch case and refer to the following table to confirm the degree of water resistance of your watch and the preferable conditions of use. A watch’s water resistance is not permanently guaranteed. It is affected by the ageing of gaskets or deformation of watch parts due to accidental shock. To preserve a watch’s water resistance as long as possible, please follow the precautions below:
- Wipe off moisture, sweat or dirt with a soft dry cloth after removing it from the wrist in order to increase the durability of the case back, gaskets and band.
- After using a water resistant watch in ocean water, wash it in fresh water and dry it with a soft cloth.
- Do not wash a water resistant watch while the crown is pulled out.
- Do not operate the crown or press a button when the watch is wet.
- A periodic overhaul service is recommended to check the water resistance of the watch regularly to ensure it’s functionality.
