Introducing the 20th Anniversary Diver
Twenty Years. Twenty Watches.
This year marks a milestone for Bernhardt Watch Company, celebrating twenty years of independent watchmaking, craftsmanship, and community. To honor that achievement, we have created our most exclusive release yet, the 20th Anniversary Diver, limited to just 20 pieces worldwide.
Since our founding, Bernhardt has built watches defined by purpose, durability, and value. The 20th Anniversary Diver builds on that legacy, representing two decades of continuous refinement and craftsmanship. Each piece is assembled, tested, and regulated in the USA, and will begin shipping Friday, November 14.
A Nod to Anniversary Tradition
Milestone anniversaries are often marked by meaningful materials, and we felt it fitting to do the same. The 20th Anniversary Diver features a dual-layer enamel sandwich dial, chosen for its depth, luminosity, and permanence.
Each dial is carefully crafted to create a rich surface that catches the light differently at every angle, a subtle reminder of the patience and precision that define true craftsmanship.
The use of enamel also carries symbolic weight. In traditional 20th-anniversary gifts, porcelain and enamel represent strength through refinement, a perfect reflection of what Bernhardt has built over two decades. It is both a nod to time-honored techniques and a step forward in material artistry for our brand.
Return to Swiss Automatic Heritage
At the heart of the 20th Anniversary Diver is the Swiss-made Sellita SW300, a movement celebrated for its reliability, accuracy, and refinement. Its inclusion marks a meaningful return to our beginnings, honoring the Swiss automatic roots that defined Bernhardt’s earliest models.
Each movement is assembled, tested, and hand-regulated in the USA to ensure precision that meets our own standards of excellence.
Visible through the exhibition case back, the movement features a custom 20th Anniversary rotor engraved with the original shark design from the first Binnacle Diver, a tribute to the watch that started it all. This detail connects the past and present, symbolizing twenty years of independent watchmaking and community.
Designed for Depth and Detail
Encased in a refined 41 mm stainless-steel case, the 20th Anniversary Diver reflects the strength, precision, and balance that define Bernhardt’s modern design language. Brushed surfaces and polished accents catch the light with quiet refinement, the result of two decades of watchmaking experience The sapphire crystal ensures lasting clarity, while the 120-click sapphire bezel delivers smooth, precise action for timing both dives and daily moments.
With 300 meters of water resistance, the case remains true to Bernhardt’s reputation for reliability and purpose-driven design.
The diver is paired with a stainless-steel bracelet featuring an on-the-go micro-adjustment clasp for quick, tool-free sizing.
Every detail, from the beveled lugs to the solid end links, reflects thoughtful craftsmanship and enduring utility.

A Tribute to Fred Amos
The 20th Anniversary Diver is dedicated to our founder, Fred Amos, whose belief that everyone deserves a quality timepiece continues to guide Bernhardt today. His vision was simple and enduring: build watches with integrity, value, and genuine care for the customer. Two decades later, that promise still defines our work. Every design decision, from the enamel dial to the engraved shark rotor, reflects Fred’s spirit of craftsmanship and connection, values that remain at the heart of Bernhardt Watch Company.
