The Locman Teseo Tesei is not just a simple watch: it is a tribute to the history of Italian military diving and to one of its most iconic figures, Teseo Tesei. A timepiece that combines imposing design, technical spirit, and a mechanical movement directly recalling the great tradition of watchmaking.

A design created to tell a story

The aesthetics of the Teseo Tesei are immediately recognizable. The prominent 47 mm case, made of steel with a titanium case back, conveys solidity and presence on the wrist. The engraved case back depicts a diver, a direct symbol of the Italian Navy's underwater missions and a homage to the historical legacy of the model.

Available with a black dial, this watch expresses a decisive, technical, and strongly identifiable character.

Water resistance up to 30 ATM (300 meters) makes it a true professional diver, designed not only for style but also for functionality.

The mechanical heart: ETA 6497, an iconic soul

The real star is the movement: the famous ETA 6497, a hand-wound caliber of Swiss origin.

Born in the 1950s as a pocket watch movement, this caliber has become over time a benchmark for robustness, reliability, and mechanical appeal. It is no coincidence that it was also used by iconic brands like Panerai in its first modern productions, becoming an integral part of the "military" and oversized aesthetic.

In the Locman Teseo Tesei, we find precisely this philosophy:

• Lépine architecture with small seconds at 9 o'clock
• 17 jewels
• Frequency of 18,000 vibrations/hour
• Power reserve of approximately 46-50 hours

A slow, visual, almost "living" movement, which prioritizes mechanical pleasure over pure chronometric precision.

An authentic experience, not just a watch

This model focuses not only on technology but also on the experience. The connection with the figure of Teseo Tesei is reinforced by unique details, such as the dedicated volume included with the watch (while stocks last), transforming the purchase into something closer to collecting than to simple everyday use.

An Italian alternative to Panerai style

The reference to Panerai is inevitable, but it is not a simple alternative: the Teseo Tesei has its own identity.

If Panerai represents the reinterpretation of historical military instruments, Locman offers a more modern and accessible vision, while maintaining:

• significant dimensions
• iconic manual movement
• strong connection with the Italian Navy

The result is an authentic watch, less "mainstream" and more distinctive.
