LAND, AIR & SEA
When designing the Morar 310 we were inspired not only by the dive world, but also by the surrounding environments of Search and Rescue (SAR) and Lifeboats. It seemed right and proper to celebrate the incredibly brave, selfless and skilful souls extracting people from danger, saving lives and doing so with a humility possessed by all emergency service operatives.
THE ETHOS
The dive watch industry is flooded with look-alike designs, all building upon the popularity of watches made famous in the '50s and '60s. The Morar 310 is built differently, designed to look like it belongs in these nautical worlds whilst being professionally functional and strong. Marine instruments and chandlery quite often feature polished chrome finishes, rounded surfaces to shed water and are sturdy, well-designed and robustly manufactured for decades of flawless operation.
It is these principles that drive the Morar 310 design. The case is completely mirror polished and comprises 3 parts - the main case chassis, the case back and the uni-directional bezel. Bolted to the main case chassis are several features - tough crown guards protecting a screw-down crown, a helium release valve for saturation divers, a soft iron anti-magnetic inner cage and powerful tubular-style lugs.
The main case chassis is 41.9mm in diameter and exhibits a silhouette that feels very slim on the wrist despite its not insignificant 12.05mm assembled thickness (excluding the crystal). The Morar doesn’t feature an homage case design, nor does it bend to the demands for cheaper versions of expensive icons. The Morar 310 is unique.
A DIVE WATCH AFTER ALL
On the dial, you’ll see big, deep polished frames filled with Superluminova compound, complemented by large polished hands filled with the same glowing paint - we wanted this to be a lume monster like the original, and so we’ve increased the area of luminous fill to boost the brightness and longevity of lume.
The original Morar had moulded crown guards, but we wanted to design sacrificial guards in the event of a mishap - the Morar 310 proudly sports these new guards for exactly this reason, whilst giving a bit more protection for the screw-down crown between them.
Finally, we have a helium release valve (HRV) between the lugs at 12 o’clock - discreetly placed to keep the 9 o’clock location clean. This is a one-way valve that will allow passage of the tiny helium gas bubbles that are generated during the transition period between breathing our regular atmosphere and the helium-rich oxygen mix. When would we do such a thing? Well, only when saturation diving. Very few of us will, but some might. This is a dive watch after all.
