Jacques Bianchi revisits Marseille's tide gauge with the 2026 JB200 Marégraphe II

Jacques Bianchi Marseille's JB200 Marégraphe II was created in collaboration with Marseille's historic sea-level observatory. Its deep-blue enamel dial has twenty layers and a wave-like pattern that plays with light, while the caseback depicts the observatory. The edition is a more ambitious successor to a limited 2024 watch that sold out almost immediately.

The 42 mm steel case has its screw-down crown at nine o'clock—the classic destro configuration. The 200-metre dive-watch specification includes a sapphire crystal, luminous hands and rotating bezel. A Swiss Soprod P024 automatic calibre drives hours, minutes, seconds and date; the watches are assembled in Marseille, near the Old Port.

Only 300 numbered examples are offered at €1,395, with a rubber strap and an additional parachute-style strap. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in mid-November 2026. That timing makes it a 2026 preorder, not a model already delivered in October.
