Because life is adventurous and exploring the deep is exciting, ZRC offers diving watches that are ready to face the extreme conditions under the sea as well as on land. With a strong heritage - the brand supplied timepieces to the French Navy from 1964 to 1985 - ZRC designs robust and reliable timepieces in Geneva and meticulously assembles them in its workshop in Tavannes.
ZRC 1904 watches, designed and produced in Switzerland, are made from the finest materials and assembled with meticulous attention to detail.
ZRC is a Swiss brand founded in 1904 by Edmund Zuccolo and Joseph Roche. At the beginning, it specialized in the manufacture of technical bracelets for watches. In 1917, the company won the Grand Prix for Innovation of the Geneva Industry at the New Industries competition for its metal expandable watch strap. But its motto "When adventure gives life to a revolutionary product" will lead it to design and produce an exceptional product! Indeed, in 1960, the company began to develop its first watch, which quickly became famous! The ZRC Grands Fonds 300 meters. As its founders were real fans of underwater sports, it was logical to design a watch as extreme as its straps. A few years later, the ZRC diver's watch would move into another dimension. At the time, the French Navy placed its own orders for diving watches with very strict specifications. During a national call for tenders, ZRC was chosen to deliver watches. Its Grand Fond will equip the divers of the French Navy until 1982. It was even approved by NATO, confirming its resistance to any test! 50 years after the first Grands Fonds 300 watch, Georges & Charles Brunet, at the head of the family business (great-grandsons of Joseph Rochet), are studying the re-edition of the iconic model. Since then, the brand has continued to develop, offering diving watches made from the finest materials and assembled with meticulous attention to detail. Every component is designed and produced in Switzerland to the highest standards. ZRC watches are acclaimed by collectors and diving enthusiasts for the style, technicality and strong character of its pieces!
The history of ZRC 1904 began in Geneva in 1904, when Edmond Zuccolo and Joseph Rochet founded a company specialising in the manufacture of metal watch chains and bracelets. After distinguishing itself through several innovations in bracelet design, the Maison developed a professional diving watch in the late 1950s: the Grands Fonds 300. Adopted by the mine-clearance divers of the French Navy, this iconic timepiece established the technical and aesthetic foundations of ZRC's identity.
Choosing a ZRC 1904 watch means choosing a Swiss diving watch with a distinctive personality, designed to deliver robustness, legibility and reliability. The Maison's creations stand out for their technical cases, secure rotating bezels and, on Grands Fonds models, their crown positioned at 6 o'clock. This characteristic architecture protects the crown while allowing complete freedom of wrist movement, both underwater and in everyday life.
ZRC 1904's collections offer several interpretations of the diving watch. The Grands Fonds 300 Marine Nationale 1964 revisits the historic diving watch originally developed for the French Navy. The Grands Fonds 300 Heritage collection preserves its signature codes in dimensions close to the original models, while the GF 3000 Titanium pushes the limits of extreme-depth diving. The Sécuricode Diver 300 offers a more classic and versatile interpretation of ZRC's underwater heritage.
