The 37.09 Bluefin is MING's latest interpretation of a dive watch, their first with an internally rotating dial and in keeping with their current design language.
It turned out that by tweaks to the curvature of the front and rear crystals, prototypes achieved a crush depth of 900m after 24 hours of saturation more than three times their initial target. The 37.09 Bluefin is conservatively rated at 600 meters of water resistance.
The 37.09 Bluefin has its own unique internal construction for two reasons: pressure resistance, and to support the timer scale required of a diver. Instead of using the traditional rotating bezel, we moved this internally onto a SuperLumiNova filled sapphire dial. A sealed crown at 4 'o clock rotates the entire sapphire dial via a 60-click, unidirectional mechanism secured by sprung bearings. The crown does not pull out or screw down, has luminous fill to be easily located, and may be operated underwater.
Technical Specifications: The case, in polished and brushed stainless steel, measures 38mm x 44.5mm x 12.8mm. It has a domed AR-coated sapphire crystal, a sapphire display back, and it is water resistant to 600 meters. Internal 60-click timer scale on unidirectional rotating dial, via crown at 4 o'clock.
Movement is the Swiss automatic Sellita for MING caliber SW300.M1 with 25 jewels, 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 50 hours. It features anthracite skeletonized bridges and rotor with contrast circular brushing. Functions are: hours, minutes and central seconds.
Rotating sapphire dial with Hyceram lume hour indices on the underside of the top crystal. The dial uses a new sapphire process: a deep blue colored metallization that compliments the scales and handset. Hands with SuperLuminova.
It comes on a 20mm moulded FKM rubber strap and a 'flying blade' buckle with micro adjustment.
