Introducing The Bausele Elemental Collection, An Australian-Built Diver Designed Through Community Collaboration
The Bausele Elemental Collection introduces a unique approach to watchmaking, shaped by the feedback of over 400 community members, resulting in a compact 40mm automatic diver that combines Swiss mechanics with an Australian aesthetic. The watch features a layered dial that evokes the ocean floor and a practical bezel that tracks time zones while encouraging mindfulness. Engineered for durability, the Elemental includes a reliable Swiss automatic movement, shock-resistant casing, and water resistance up to 200 meters, making it suitable for diving. The design is inspired by Hoppé’s experiences swimming in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, with natural materials integrated into each crown to reflect specific Australian locations. The watch’s integrated stainless steel bracelet is both functional and stylish, featuring a micro-adjustable clasp and varying finishes for added depth. Priced at $750, the Bausele Elemental Collection distinguishes itself in the competitive market of automatic divers by emphasizing community involvement and storytelling rather than mere novelty.
