Created to mark America’s 250th year of independence, the Cipher Diver is a limited edition mechanical dive watch developed in partnership with Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello and inspired by the inventive spirit of Thomas Jefferson.
At first glance, it wears and functions as a traditional 300-meter dive watch. Hidden beneath the sapphire bezel, however, is a UV-reactive alphabet that allows messages to be encoded and decoded using time itself as the reference. The cipher remains invisible during normal wear and is revealed only when intentionally illuminated with UV light.
Each Cipher Diver includes a UV decoding torch and the first encoded cipher, with new messages released weekly throughout the 250th year. Limited to 100 individually numbered pieces, the Cipher Diver is designed to be worn daily, explored thoughtfully, and engaged with over time.
