Airain Mer

Collection profile · 1962

Airain’s sea-going collection is the Sous-Marine family, a faithful modern continuation of the brand’s 1962 skindiver with Parmentier crown heritage, community-shaped variants, and a strong vintage-to-modern re-edition narrative.

Why it matters

The collection gives Airain a credible non-aviation pillar beyond the Type 20, reviving an archival 1962 dive watch with historically specific design details such as the Parmentier crown and period-correct handsets while extending the line through CoLAB-led limited editions.
