The Swiss watch brand, CATAMARAN, was founded in 1983 in La Chaux-de-Fonds by the Swiss watch factory CONSUL, itself founded in 1900.
 
In fact, at the beginning of the 1980s, a different, fresh, wind was already blowing over the Swiss watch industry, calling for watches that with more character, in response to the demands of sporting and leisure pass-times. Accordingly, Montres CONSUL decided to create a line that harmonised aesthetics with high technology, always concerned to offer an attractive product with a timeless design in answer to the needs of the new clientele.

 

 

Automatic
Chronograph
Pro 200

 

This magnificent Pro 200 Chronograph made by Catamaran Swiss Watches, water resistant to 200M ( 660 feet) is powered by a self winding ( automatic) Swiss movement Valjoux 7750 with day and date.


 Elegant and racey, CATAMARAN watches are in the same class as the fast yachts that are out to win. The catamaran is a boat that combines lightness with extreme reliability. This sailboat, with two adjoining hulls, designed by fishermen, came into being on India's eastern coast. The Tamil terms "katta" (link) and "maram" (wood) introduced into the languages of several countries of the world as a type of small craft, which very rapidly became a legend in the records of competition sailing, whose first gold medal was won in 1976 at the Montreal Olympic Games.
 
Bearing in mind these definitions, it was quite normal that from 1983, Montres CATAMARAN should associate its image with sports and leisure.
 
All through the 80s, Montres CATAMARAN's sponsorship centred mostly on the world of sailing.
From the 90s, CATAMARAN began to build its long term personality as a watchmaker, which led quite naturally to the expansion of its sponsoring activities. At first in the world of sailing and, from 1994, in the world of motor sports (Formula 1, 24 Hours Le Mans, Rallies, Paris-Dakar, etc).

 

 

Diving
with Diamonds

 

In order to dive with style into your next social party, use the New "Pro 200" made by Catamaran Swiss Watches. Can also be used 200 meters deep into the sea.
 
From 1995, CATAMARAN added the world of sliding (skiing etc) to its sports, followed in 1998 by the extreme sports (snowboarding, wind-surfing, etc), without forgetting a technical presence, with its timekeeping.
 
Today it is only logical that Montres CATAMARAN maintains its presence in all of these activities. Thanks to the experience it has acquired in them, it is ready to take up the challenge of the 21st century.
