What makes Bausele’s watches different? Bausele actively produces watches made up of game-changing innovative materials. We like to think outside the box, whether than be for added performance, environmentally conscious reasons or to provide exciting new features!
The distinctive black treated rock (underneath the ‘clamp’ design) on the Terra Australis watch is made of Bauselite, is a material specially created and manufactured for Bausele by their partners at the Flinders University Centre for NanoScale Science & Technology. Bauselite is the result of three years of intensive research and development between Bausele and Flinders University’s Centre for NanoScale Science & Technology, resulting in the creation of a jointly-owned company to produce the material for commercial use. It is the first time that world-class watch components have been manufactured in Australia. Bauselite is a lightweight material that is similar to ceramic, but it enables more accurate modelling and suffers less shrinkage than common ceramics used in watch manufacture. The manufacturing process is also more environmentally friendly because it yields less wastage.
Some “pieces of Australia” included in our watch crowns:
Sydney Opera House crushed tile in The Sydney Opera House Watch
Sand from Point Cook 1st RAAF Base- Aviator 1st and 2nd gen models
Red earth near Uluru in Paxton Oceanmoon IV and Terra Australis
Sand from Famous Australian Beaches - Oceanmoon IV range, Chrono S models
We also feature a piece of a retired aircraft in the case of these watches:
Aviator (1st Gen)
Aviator Mark II
Fokker
Bausele’s Faraday cages are featured on the casebacks of our high-end watches and shield the movements from static electric fields which can cause a watch to become “magnetized” and run abnormally fast when exposed. An electric field is a force field surrounding a charged particle. Faraday cages take electrostatic charges, or particular types of electromagnetic radiation, and distribute them around the exterior of the cage, which cancels out electric charges or radiation within the cage's interior. Electromagnetic radiation is all around us, whether it's in visible and ultraviolet light, microwaves or the FM and AM radio waves. But sometimes, this radiation is disruptive. That's where the innovative Anti-magnetic Faraday cage comes in. Yet as amazing as they are, Faraday cages are not perfect. They do not provide 100% insulation from electromagnetic waves. A prime example of this is microwave ovens, where not all radiation is blocked from the device.
In partnership with strap manufacturer #Tide, Bausele has created up-cycled ocean plastic transformed into premium eco-friendly watch straps. All our straps use this technology to give plastic waste a new purpose, contribute to sustainability and reducing pollution in our oceans. #Tide collects different kinds of plastic: Polyethylene terephthalate plastics (PET), Polypropylene (PP) and Polyethylene (PE). Using Swiss precision and know-how, powered by renewable energy, the plastic waste threatening our oceans is upcycled into a versatile granular material.
Super-LumiNova® creates non-radioactive and nontoxic photoluminescent or afterglow pigments for illuminating markings on watch dials. Which is a super important feature for night-time visibility. A handy tip: ensure to get a bit of sunlight on the watch dial during the day as it will glow brighter at night. Charging the lume with a UV light is also an effective option.
What makes Super-LumiNova® different?
100% Swiss Made quality
Non-radioactive
REACH compatible
Highly temperature resistant
Resistant to environmental influences
It works like a light storage battery, where light charges the battery and afterwards the light is continuously emitted
An full night legibility can be achieved according to ISO 3157
Our RAAF Watches: Airfield and Aviator, as well as Oceanmoon IV range have this lume feature.
We use the beautiful sun-ray dial, also known as a “sunburst” dial on our Oceanmoon IV range watches. This style is defined by ultra-thin, almost imperceptible lines emanating from the dial's centre. Like their namesake sun rays, these lines add a subtle texture and appear to change depending on the light. This pattern is achieved by running the dial on a wire wheel, before anodizing the dial blank to achieve its final colour. This gives the watches beautiful transitioning colors as the dials are hit by the sun. A burst of color, hence the name.
Our Oceanmoon III watch features this innovative nano-ceramic glass which has many innovative properties:
Impact Resistance, high hardness- According to their website, NANOCERAM™ glass is scientifically proven to have a “30% higher hardness and showed more than 10 times higher impact resistance in steel ball drop impact test.”
Good processability- Although it has the properties of hard ceramics, the cutting, polishing and 'mould-able' realized workability comparable to that of glass.
High Transmittance- Since crystal grains of glass ceramics are large, it is difficult to transmit light and therefore is never used for optical applications. However, high transparency has been realized by Ohara's nanocrystallization technology (particle diameter about 6 mm) which has a high track record in the space and astronomy fields.
The Oceanmoon III is no longer available (SOLD OUT). But we still use the extremely durable sapphire crystal on all our current watches which cannot be scratched.
