Nomadic: A Modern Dive Watch Inspired by 100 Years of History
With a rich history of craftsmanship and innovation, Belfast stands as a testament to the spirit of shipbuilding strength and industrial triumph. The iconic Samson & Goliath cranes dominate the city’s skyline as a symbol of shipbuilding strength and industrial triumph. The shipyard where they stand, Harland and Wolff, is best known for its 401st ship, the RMS Titanic, and its first-class passenger tender, the SS Nomadic.

The SS Nomadic: A Lasting Legacy
Designed by Thomas Andrews, the SS Nomadic is a remarkable ship, known for being the last remaining White Star Line ship in the world. Despite being a quarter of the size of its infamous sister, the Titanic, the Nomadic has left an indelible mark on history. After faithfully ferrying passengers to the world's largest transatlantic liners and serving in both World Wars, the Nomadic found a new life as a restaurant and party venue, moored beside the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Today, meticulously restored, it has returned to its birthplace in Belfast's Hamilton Dock.
Maraí 401: Embodying the Maritime Spirit of Belfast
Inspired by the rich history of shipbuilding, the collection of dive watches was named Maraí 401. The word means 'seafarer' in Irish, while the number pays homage to the production name of the Titanic. With a 40mm case, a water resistance of 660ft, and a Swiss mechanical movement, Maraí 401 beautifully reflects the remarkable engineering achievements of Belfast. The distinctive yellow sweeping second hand serves as a modest tribute to the iconic cranes.
Nomadic: Embracing the Spirit of Progress
