The BERNY Compressor Diver Watch Collection has evolved significantly from the AM7081M launched in 2017 to the upcoming AM1970M in 2024, marking its fifth iteration. Each version has refined its features, balancing rugged durability with sophisticated design. The AM1970M promises enhanced performance and aesthetic upgrades, continuing BERNY's tradition of excellence in diving watches. This article will provide a comprehensive comparison of the models, highlighting advancements and design improvements across the collection.

AM7081M

The AM7081M watch boasts a vintage compressor design, complete with an internal bidirectional rotating bezel and dual crowns. Its anchor-shaped date display and pineapple crown subtly echo the whispers of the sea breeze.

As an ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) project, the AM7081M was developed for the company's overseas clients and is one of the most iconic compressor-style designs in the BERNY brand. The prototype of this watch first debuted around 2010, but the original design drawings have since been lost.

The AM7081M has undergone multiple meticulous refinements, gradually evolving into its current form. In 2021, we made significant upgrades to the crown structure, with both crowns now featuring a screw-down design to enhance sealing and durability. Based on consumer feedback, we also redesigned the strap, extending its length to accommodate wrist sizes ranging from 5.5 to 8 inches. Since 2022, we have also introduced a new all-steel model, the AM7081MS.

This watch stands out with its minimalist design. It features a 42mm case diameter, with large bar indices filled with super luminous material. The 6 and 12 o’clock positions are marked with Arabic numerals, and the red second hand is particularly eye-catching. With an outstanding water resistance of 20ATM, it ensures effortless performance for both daily wear and water activities. Not only offering practical day and date display functions, the watch also provides clear time visibility under any lighting conditions, thanks to the super luminous markers and hands.

The watch is available in three color options, catering to wearers with different personalities and styles: a vibrant orange dial (AM7081M-YE), a classic pure white dial (AM7081M-B), and a steady, atmospheric black dial (AM7081M-A). The AM7081M-YE, in particular, features a striking orange dial, offering the wearer a unique charm and visually conveying a sense of energy and enthusiasm. The center of the dial incorporates a square grid pattern, adding a delicate layer of texture that enhances the overall appearance, making it more refined and full of character.

The AM139M watch boasts a vintage compressor design with striking sword-shaped hands. Its rich, deep colors are complemented by a vibrant sunburst dial, symbolizing the passage of time while exuding sharp elegance. Angular hour markers further accentuate its bold and confident presence.

Since its debut in 2022, the AM139M watch has become a shining star in the BERNY Compressor Diver Watch series, captivating with its aurora-like brilliant visual effects and sunburst dial. The dial showcases enchanting gradient colors from different angles, reminiscent of the mesmerizing and unpredictable Northern Lights.

With a 41.5mm case diameter, indices and Arabic numerals coated with super luminous material, ensure clear visibility of time even in dim environments. The iconic rotating inner bezel of the BERNY Compressor Diver Watch, along with the large day and date display windows, and screw-down crowns at the 2 and 4 o'clock positions, not only enhance its aesthetic appeal but also significantly improve the watch's functionality and readability, making it more reliable during diving or exploration.

The AM139M watch offers three classic color options: the vibrant green AM139M-GRN, the deep and serene blue (AM139M-C), and the mysterious and elegant black (AM139M-A), each exuding its unique charm. Additionally, the watch comes with two types of straps—a soft and comfortable silicone strap and a sturdy and durable stainless steel strap—to meet the needs and preferences of different wearers. This watch allows the wearer to showcase their personality and taste.

AM339M

The AM339M watch, meticulously crafted in its design, officially debuted in November 2023. This watch incorporates rounded elements, such as the curved bar-shaped and dot-shaped hour markers and the arched edge treatment of the rotating inner bezel numbers, giving it a more casual and relaxed style compared to the previous two Compressors. Additionally, this model introduces a tri-color luminous coating (orange, blue, and green) for the first time, adding a rich layering effect to night-time visibility.

With a 42mm case diameter, the inner bezel features bright orange markings for the 0 to 15-minute scale, filled with orange super luminous material. The 15 to 60-minute scale uses white markings filled with white super luminous material that emits a blue glow. This clever two-tone combination creates a striking visual contrast on the rotating bezel, enhancing its visibility in low-light conditions and improving the safety of underwater activity time management.

The orange stripe decoration on the crown echoes the orange on the rotating bezel, adding a touch of vitality to the watch.

The AM339M is available in three classic colors—black, blue, and green—with an integrated, extended silicone strap, and an additional full stainless steel version is also offered.

AM439M

The AM439M was launched in March 2024, featuring a rotating inner bezel with more easily recognizable Arabic numerals. When the luminous markers are activated, it is easier to read the countdown using the Roman numerals. The watch has a 42mm case diameter, with the dial markers maintaining a balance of bar and square shapes to convey a sense of symmetry and precision in its design. Additionally, for the first time in the compressor-style watch series, four matte sandblasted dial color options are available, making it versatile for pairing with various styles.

The AM439M comes with an integrated, extended silicone strap in black, blue, and green, and a full stainless steel version is also offered.

AM1970M

The AM1970M also features an internal bi-directional rotating bezel, dual crowns, and a recessed dial. The 44mm cushion-shaped case effectively protects the crowns from impact, making it the largest and most masculine model in the current compressor-style watch lineup. The custom-extended FKM fluoroelastomer strap is designed to fit wrist sizes from 145mm to 210mm. The Seiko NH35 movement has been incorporated into the compressor-style series, with five dial color options available.

For diving watch enthusiasts, time is the lifeline. In 2024, we are proud to introduce the new BERNY AM1970M. This watch not only continues the classic compressor diving watch lineage of BERNY but also integrates the superior design concepts of the Seiko 1970 diving watch, offering divers and collectors an unprecedented visual and functional experience.
