LOUIS VUITTON ’ S YEAR-LONG CELEBRATION OF ITS BEDROCK Tambour case in 2022 pays homage to the design ’ s many variations on the inverted-drum shape , including its muchacclaimed dive models .
With its Diver ’ s Watch Prize from the 2021 Grand Prix d ’ Horlogerie de Genève in mind , the global fashion brand and watchmaker added two new options to its Tambour Street Diver collection in 2022 .
New within the collection are the orange-accented Tambour Street Diver Burning Rock and the Tambour Street Diver Urban Green .
The duo borrows hues from Louis Vuitton ’ s own historical designs , and in one case ( the orange model ) recalls traditional dive watch coloring devised to ensure easy legibility under water and in darkness .
Both watches are 44m steel-cased dive-inspired watches with ETA-based automatic calibers and luminescent white hands , numbers and indexes . Both offer screw-down crowns to ensure water resistance to 100 meters and each arrive with a Louis Vuitton-branded interchangeable rubber strap . Price : $ 7,805 .
