JB200 Maxi Dial
a tribute to the octopus and the spirit of marseille
The highly anticipated new creation from the watchmaking house Jacques Bianchi Marseille has finally been unveiled. Now powered by a Swiss automatic movement, the JB200 POULPRO features an octopus on its dial, replacing the historical diver of the first models launched in 2021, which enjoyed immense success. This new version, available in “Encre de Seiche” black and “Mediterranean” blue, pays homage to one of the most enigmatic and intelligent marine creatures. An animal of raw beauty that has always been part of the cultural, maritime, and gastronomic history of Marseille.

Two years after the resounding success of its relaunch, the JB200 is back in the spotlight. Paying homage to its ancestor, which was once issued to the French Navy in the 1980s, the new JB200 retains the attributes that shaped its personality: left-sided crown, water resistance up to 200 meters, 42 mm diameter case, and unmatched “tool watch” look.

Over time, the octopus has become a subject of inquiry for scientists worldwide, fueling the collective imagination around this enigmatic creature, which is both real and dreamlike.
Beyond its marine symbolism, the octopus also holds a significant presence in Marseille’s art, culture, fashion, and gastronomy. It is depicted in contemporary artworks, sculptures, and murals that adorn the city’s streets. In old Provençal, a octopus was called a “póulpro,” which was later named “póurpre” due to Spanish and Italian linguistic influences.
