Edox· DiverRef. 80120-3BUM-BUFNeptunian Automatic
The Neptunian Automatic, reference 80120-3BUM-BUF, is a diver's watch from Edox's Neptunian collection, 44 mm across and 15.6 mm thick in stainless steel, water resistant to 1,000 metres. It has a blue dial and comes on a stainless steel bracelet. Inside is an automatic movement Edox calls the Caliber 80, naming the Sellita SW 200 alongside it. The helium valve matters to saturation divers: helium that seeps into the case during long stays at depth can escape through it on the way up, instead of pushing the crystal out. The rotating ceramic bezel times a dive: set its zero against the minute hand and the elapsed minutes read straight off the scale. Edox gives its weight as 155 g.

Collector photographs
Taken by people who own this reference: their light, their wear, their patina. Not the maker’s photography. Where the maker hasn’t given us a photograph, one of these is shown as the main image above, always credited. A few are the Atlas’s own, and say so.
If this watch is in your collection, yours would be the first. A photograph on the wrist shows what a studio image cannot: scale, wear, and how the piece has actually aged.
