Once again a diver found a NIVREL watch on the sea ground. Because it was still working, Mr. Christopher Juredin decided to send it back to NIVREL – in order to find the real owner.

NIVREL automatic alarm watch (Ref. N 910.001) found in the sea of the British Virgin Islands

One day late in the year 2008 he was working under a cruise ship doing ship husbandry. He was looking for a propeller and systematically worked back and forth on a rope spool in 65 feet of wa-ter around 10 foot visibility and with around 300 feet of search line. The bottom was thick mud and turtle grass and there was lots of traffic from the charter companies’ vessels overhead. Looking at the sea ground, he noticed a watch strap sticking out of the mud. He pulled it out and had a NIVREL automatic alarm watch in his hands. His first thought was to leave it behind as he did not see it move, however he decided to keep it. When he surfaced back on the boat he wiped it off and it started to work. It worked periodically for a couple of days, then stopped.
