ZRC (Swiss) Ref. GF41163GIGN Stainless Steel Watch Limited Edition Of 50 For France’s ‘National Gendarmerie Intervention Group’

“With the contemporary appearance of the original Grands Fonds 300, this variation fitted with a metal wristband has all the attributes of a diver’s watch. With its black dial, satin-finished steel case, and metallic wristband, this model embodies the quintessence of the Deep Sea 300 diver’s watch. The Crown Protection System^TM provides a secure watertight seal. Its wristband can only be fastened if the crown at 6 o’clock is fully screwed down. Its ECS^TM system ensures optimal rinsing after a dive, enabling the removal of impurities and salt crystals lodged between the unidirectional rotating bezel fitted with a ceramic insert and the case. Its hands and date are driven by a reliable Swiss Made self-winding caliber.”

This limited edition comes in its specific-designed NATO-approved case and the watch is delivered with both metal bracelet and leather strap. It bears the limited edition number 45/50.
