About the Archimede UA8068BMP-A3.1
Archimede belongs to Ickler, the family company Karl Ickler founded in Pforzheim in 1924, and every Archimede case is developed and made in-house there. The 1950 is built around a curved dial and curved hands, with the date at 3 o'clock. Archimede's current 1950-2 runs on the SW 200-2 automatic in its Power+ form, with a 65-hour power reserve, behind a domed sapphire crystal, and is water resistant to 5 ATM; a hand-wound SW 215 is offered as an upgrade.
The 1950-2 UA8068BMP-A1.1 is the same watch on mesh with a silver dial, while the UA8068P references put the 40 mm case on black or brown leather. The 1950-1 (UA8069) is the 39 mm version of the design at the same 9.8 mm thickness, with the Citizen automatic calibre 9015 and 3 ATM water resistance; the black-dial UA8069BM-A2.1 is its mesh-bracelet equivalent.
