Since the first dive watches in the 1950s, there have been hundreds of dive watch case shapes and styles, but through the years, there’s only been one case that is known by its brand name, the MONNIN case.

MONNIN came to fame in the mid-1970s, when HEUER decided to venture in the diver watch market. With no previous experience in diver watches, production was outsourced to a French company named Georges Monnin. Sales took off and production was moved back in-house. The rest is history.

The MONNIN design and case was then used by several watchmakers throughout the seventies and eighties, including SINN, BREITLING, AQUADIVE and HGP to name a few.

Today, the MONNIN case is back to dive again.

The VH31 Seiko movement offers to the Diver 200M Mecaquartz Commando the best of both worlds: the look and feel of a mechanical diving watch - with a sweeping second hand marking the ¼ of second - and the prefect accuracy of the quartz technology.

The result is a perfect grab-and-go or back-up dive watch that can follow you on any mission.

For the highest possible afterglow performance, all HGP diving watches including - the Diver 200M Mecaquartz Commando - are using Swiss made Super-LumiNova® pigments:

• Seven layers of Super-LumiNova® pigments are applied on the dials.
• All Hands are skeletonized and filled with Super-LumiNova® pigments
• The bezel's triangle-shaped marker at 12 o’clock is filled with Super-LumiNova® pigment, as well as the 50, 40, 30, 20, and 10 minute/second markers.
• « Old Radium » Super-LumiNova® pigments
