Jacques Bianchi Watches presents the JB200 Headmark, a limited edition of 100 individually numbered timepieces.
JB200 HEADMARK
The watchmaking house of Jacques Bianchi Marseille is proud to unveil its latest creation: the JB200 Headmark. Produced in a limited series of 100 individually numbered timepieces, this model extends the JB200 collection in a more assertive direction, where function governs every aesthetic decision. A true professional diving watch, conceived for those who genuinely dive — or who might once have done so.
The Quiet Authority of Orange
On a professional diving watch, one reads the minutes before the hours. It is the minute hand that carries the greatest informational weight underwater — the hand that moves most rapidly, the one that governs the rhythm of the dive.
Rendering it entirely in orange ensures it remains impossible to overlook, even in diminished visibility or through the distortion of a diving mask. A functional decision which, by fortune or by design, also proves to be an aesthetically exact one.
The Pilot’s Marker
The JB200 Headmark takes its name from the lexicon of navigational instruments: the fixed visual reference that allows a pilot to determine his position at a glance.
Simo Tber, co-founder of the maison, reflects on the inspiration behind the project: “We wanted a watch that inspires confidence — a stable point of reference on the wrist, capable of conveying information without superfluity, whether forty metres beneath cold water or in the faint light of dawn during a scuba dive. That is precisely what this dial accomplishes: it orients.”
This timepiece embodies restraint.
Three Hands, One Cohesive Purpose
The JB200 Headmark features a 42 mm case with a thickness of 12.5 mm — proportions that allow a professional diving watch to remain highly legible without becoming ostentatious. Crafted from 316L stainless steel, the case is treated with a full black PVD coating, animated by alternating brushed and polished finishes.
Its automatic movement, equipped with 25 jewels and operating at 4 Hz with a 42-hour power reserve, ensures proven reliability. The handset — ivory-lumed hour hand, vivid orange minute hand, and bi-colour central seconds hand — enables the eye to grasp the hierarchy of information instantly, without conscious effort or adaptation.
The JB200, Rich in History
JB200 HEADMARK: THE PILOT’S MARKER.
super-luminova®
At Jacques Bianchi Marseille, legibility remains a fundamental promise.
The JB200 Headmark advances this heritage even further: its Maxi Dial combines applied Super-LumiNova® hour markers with a green-emission minute hand, perfectly harmonised with the luminous insert of the bezel.
Set against a matte black dial, each element illuminates with absolute precision — where technology meets instinct, in a timepiece engineered for prolonged exploration and uncompromising performance.
LEADER IN THE FRENCH DIVE WATCH INDUSTRY
A leader in the French watchmaking industry, Jacques Bianchi Marseille continues to push the boundaries of innovation with the JB300. An heir to the military diving watches of the 1990s, the JB300 Profonde flawlessly combines rugged spirit with the modernity of contemporary lines. True to its heritage, it preserves the soul of professional diving watches with its oversized bezel and ultra-readable dial. The JB300 Profonde honours its military legacy, appealing to both diving enthusiasts and watch collectors alike.

Marseille as the Point of Departure
The JB200 Headmark is not merely a watch, but a deliberate extension of the maison’s identity. There are houses that manufacture watches, and there are houses that tell the story of the sea.
JACQUES BIANCHI MARSEILLE belongs to both categories at once — with that distinctly Mediterranean manner of never needing to choose between them. The Headmark is the most assertive expression of the JB200 collection to date: less nostalgia, greater clarity. It does not disown its predecessors; rather, it carries them forward in a more deliberate and uncompromising direction.
Craftsmanship in the Details
The unidirectional rotating bezel deserves particular attention. Its indices are filled with Super-LumiNova®, applied by hand in Switzerland — a detail of execution that speaks volumes about the maison’s exacting standards.
At this level of refinement, one moves beyond mere production and into the realm of measured craftsmanship. The bezel action is firm and precise, delivering the tactile feedback that confirms each position and prevents handling errors during immersion. The interplay between the matte finish of the case flanks and the polished upper surfaces, set against a deep black backdrop, lends the case a visual density that untreated steel alone could never achieve.
