Our Icon, perfected
The 1972 Sicura Diver Compressor Super waterproof 400 has defined our identity for years. Inspired by vintage watchmaking, it was built without compromise—combining striking design with real-world performance on land and at sea.
Designed with Intention
After three years of relentless refinement, the Super Compressor 400 arrives. Reworked from the ground up, every detail has been elevated to create a more advanced, more desirable, and more capable version of our iconic watch.
It honors the original—while pushing it further than ever before.
