Bombproof Watch Really !!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're looking for a watch that is actually, literally bombproof, then look no further.

The hip hop-esquely oversized KAVENTSMANN Triggerfish Bronze A2 has been pressure tested to 300 bar - enough to survive under the weight of 3,000m of water pressure.

Bombproof... literally: The KAVENTSMANN Triggerfish Bronze A2 has been pressure tested to 300 bar - and blown up with 10lbs of C4 explosive

However, it also subsequently survived another, rather more violent test carried out by U.S. special forces soldiers involving 10lbs of C4.

That explosive experience, from a distance of one metre, left the case and crown intact, with just a few scratches on its crystal lens.

 

The movement was shocked by the blast, but the watch's maker told MailOnline he has developed a new holder for the mechanism that would survive future tests.

Of course, if you are caught in a mishap involving a similarly sized quantity of high explosive, the fact that your watch survived unscathed may be a small consolation.

Explosive test: U.S. special forces soldiers set up their C4 explosive just three feet from the Triggerfish watch

A bit scratched: The watch after the test - it lost half its strap

But more or less intact: Of course, if you are caught in a similar mishap, you might not be so lucky

The exceptionally solid piece of timepiece technology is encased in CuSn8 phosphor-bronze, the strength of which is revealed by another of its uses: making the load bearing plates for bridges.

The watch also has a proprietary crown design which features quadruple redundant seals - just to eliminate that chance of a single drop of brine leaking in.

Michael Barahona Fernandez, owner of KAVENTSMANN, machines the case parts himself one at a time in his one-man workshop in Berlin, so only a few pieces go on sale each month.

Limited run: Only 30 of the Triggerfish Bronze A2 watches will be made. The first five will ship later this month

The Triggerfish Bronze A2 is restricted to a limited run of just 30, so if you want one you better get your name on the waiting list now.

The first five units will ship later this month and will set buyers back €1,600
