The Bernhardt Cipher Diver Brings a Hidden Cipher to an Affordable Tool Watch
The Bernhardt Watch Company introduces the Cipher Diver, a limited edition watch celebrating the United States' 250th anniversary. This unique timepiece showcases a design inspired by Thomas Jefferson’s inventive spirit, featuring a rotating cipher mechanism that encodes and decodes messages using time as a reference. The watch is crafted with a color palette reflecting the American flag, a robust 300-meter dive-rated case, and incorporates a UV-reactive cipher beneath a sapphire bezel, with invisible characters that are revealed under ultraviolet light. Set for release on January 8, 2026, the Cipher Diver is limited to just 100 pieces, priced at $795, and includes a UV decoding torch and an initial cipher card. It features a 41mm stainless steel case, a Miyota 9039 automatic movement, and is hand-assembled in the United States, ensuring a high level of quality. Each watch comes with a two-year warranty, and owners will receive additional encrypted messages weekly until July 4, 2026, encouraging interaction with the watch throughout the anniversary year.
