Louis Vuitton welcomes the Street Diver watch into its Tambour range

OVER THE past 19 years, the Louis Vuitton Tambour has become an instantly recognisable watch, taking on various forms from masterful high jewellery creations to the acclaimed Tambour Horizon connected watch.

This year, the Tambour has been reimagined in the form of the Street Diver, a dynamic horological masterpiece designed for effortless daily wear, from the gym to the office.

Representing the craftsmanship, multi-functionality and creative ingenuity synonymous with the House, the new Tambour Street Diver perfectly encapsulates the energy of city life without compromising on its sporty credentials.

Water-resistant up to 100m, the timepiece boasts unrivalled functionality with protective screw-down crowns and a Super-LumiNova coating on its dial and inner rotating bezel.

A tapered case ensures the watch is suitable for all wrist sizes, while an ingenious quick-change strap system – perfected by Louis Vuitton over the past three years – further enhances the watch’s capability to morph from casual to formalwear.

Crafted from a single block of metal, the Tambour Street Diver is available in four ultra-luxe styles – three automatic models in 44mm and one quartz version in 39.5mm – each their own unique interpretation of sports-chic.

“Robust and edgy with a decidedly sporty outlook, the Tambour Street Diver brings together all the requirements of a traditional dive watch while retaining the colourful, creative and unconventional style elements that have always been central to the House,” said Louis Vuitton.

“It continues the House’s horological journey into the unexpected, one that began in 2002 with the launch of Louis Vuitton’s very first watch.”
