Key Points from the Discussion

The discovery of the Endurance ship, preserved for over a century in saltwater at 3km depth, is an impressive feat of natural preservation, inspiring thoughts of dedicated watches for such extreme conditions.
The ship's condition is spectacular, with varnish reportedly still intact, though refloating it would violate the Antarctic Treaty.
The featured watch is a collaboration between Chronotempvs and Habring2, designed with special oils and parts to operate down to -60°C and offering 100m water resistance, along with top second and day/night indicators.
The timing of the Endurance discovery and the author's recent acquisition of the Habring2 watch is a delightful coincidence.
The book 'Endurance' is recognized as one of the greatest stories ever told, underscoring the historical significance of the ship's saga.
Some contributors did not initially connect the Endurance ship with a Habring watch, highlighting the unique pairing presented by the author.

Heard the news today

It's in truly spectacular condition. Apparently it would be against the Antarctic Treaty to refloat and restore it, but these photos are incredible enough to see as it is.

I did as well. Did not..

Think to link the Ship with a Habring.

This one is a collaboration between Chronotempvs and Habring2. It is lubricated with special oils and parts to operate down to -60 C…WR 100 m.

Top second and day/night indicators.

It is very well preserved in its present environment. The varnish on the hull is supposedly still present! I like it that it remains there.
