The first two Sherpa Models OPS and Ultradive went into production in June 2022 and can be ordered from us directly. Both watches mark the return of the true compressor dive watches, featuring a bayonet compressor case back and compressor crowns which run smoothly without being screw-down. using only finest components from Germany and Switzerland. Even the packaging is coming from the EU, featuring a double watch roll made of 100% finest leather from Italy, inside out. The brand and the watches are the result of pure passion for legendary dive watches of the 1960s. The original Ultradive was the favourite watch of Alain Delon, and nowadays Ed Sheeran can be seen with one. Falling in love with the timeless design and the ingenious compressor technology of the original vintage role models, we deep dove into archives and technical material to bring back these glorious models in the best possible form. You can see and feel the high quality result on your wrist. Something which cannot be seen but felt is the small spiritual secret that the watches contain:
The mantramatic movement. As the Sherpas are a Tibetan tribe living in Nepal, they are also Tibetan buddhists living in that tradition. They are world famous for their fearless attitude, humbleness, kindness and patience with whomever they accompany up and down the mountains. In appreciation of their excellent reputation that we use as our iconic brand name, we are giving back from each watch to two foundations in Nepal, helping in the Sherpa regions with beneficial projects. And in addition we felt the need to connect the watches to the Sherpas on a heart level. Under the guidance with a highly realised and appraised Tibetan Rinpoche (buddhist master) we developed the "Mantramatic MM01" movement. It includes two tiny wheels in the movement which act as traditional Tibetan prayer wheels and send out mantras and good vibration 30 Mio times a year. OM MANI PEME HUNG for the benefit of all beings, all the time on your wrist.
