Description
The Tennet Argonaut is a daring reinterpretation of the classic diver’s watch - boldly original, beautifully balanced, and designed with a meticulous eye for detail. Conceived and designed in Singapore, the Argonaut reflects Tennet’s distinctive design language with a fresh, uncompromising take on one of watchmaking’s most iconic genres.
At its core beats a Swiss automatic Sellita movement, selected for its proven reliability and precision. Protected within is a fearsome octopus engraved onto the closed caseback, a powerful tribute to the deep sea -symbolising strength, wisdom, and the enduring mystery of the ocean’s depths.
The mazarine blue dial is nothing short of mesmerising. With its sunray finish that shimmers with light, it offers a dynamic contrast to the dial’s depth and complexity. Tennet’s signature sculptural teardrop hands make a bold return, now more expressive than ever, accompanied by rounded pips at the minute markers and soft mauve Superluminova for optimal legibility in the dark. A lollipop second hand adds a touch of whimsical refinement.
The 40mm stainless steel case is both sporty and sophisticated, with Tennet’s trademark horned lugs - pinched, sandblasted, and curved for an ergonomic wrist-hugging fit. The addition of a matte blue aluminium bezel gives the Argonaut a dynamic silhouette and a patina-ready finish. Its 120-click unidirectional action provides precise, satisfying tactile feedback, with luminous indices and numerals for low-light functionality.
Crowning the case is a double-domed sapphire crystal with inner anti-reflective coating - delivering the charming distortion of vintage divers with the resilience of modern materials. The screw-down crown, featuring protective crown guards and Tennet’s distinct “Domino” dimples, is finished with a red dot - subtle yet proud homage to Singapore, the Little Red Dot.
The Argonaut doesn’t just look the part; it performs. With a 300-meter water resistance rating, this is a dive watch built for true exploration, whether navigating ocean depths or urban terrain.
Completing the design is a bespoke three-piece stainless steel bracelet, fully matte-finished and created specifically for the Argonaut. Equipped with quick-release ends and micro-adjustment capability, it delivers both form and function in equal measure.
The Tennet Argonaut is more than a diver’s watch. It is a confident, contemporary expression of strength, elegance, and originality—ready for wherever your journey leads.
