Unique depths by a unique watch, meet the Pita Oceana!

Pita barcelona, named after its founder, Aniceto Jiménez Pita (1947), is a Spanish watch brand and was founded in 2003. Aniceto has been a watch passionate since he was a kid, learned how to work on clocks and watches all by himself and eventually opened a repair shop in Barcelona in 1971.

Today, he is watchmaker (and member of the AHCI) and creates exceptional timepieces, using innovative solutions to problems that are already there for decades. What to think about the two patents on his latest creation, the Pita Oceana, using a water-entry free case and a time setting mechanism (Pita-TSM) that allows you to set the time without having to pull-out a crown (making it vulnerable for entry of water). There is no crown on this watch and no caseback. The modular design of the watch is absolutely water resistance, because of the absence of seals, crown, pushers and a caseback.


The Pita Oceana is considered to be the ultimate diving watch, with a WR up to 5000 meters! The special case and winding construction are the most important factors to be able to guarantee a trouble free watch at huge depths. The heavily modified ETA 2678 movement (also referred to as the Pita-003 movement), which is patented by Aniceto Jiménez Pita, allows time setting under water, as described above.

The Pita Oceana has a 9.8mm thick rounded polycarbonate crystal. There is no seal joint between crystal and steel case, which means that what's not there, can't be subject to wear and tear. Furthermore, the star-shaped second hand features a chromatic depth meter for under water use and there is this inverted bezel inside for timing functionality.

Modular case construction. Star-shaped second hand featuring a chromatic depth meter. This depth meter has a few different colors, depending on what color you'll see under water, you will be enabled to make an estimate of the depth. The bezel with 120 positions for timer function. This is perhaps the most important functionality for a diver, to be able to check if you have enough time to (gently) get to the surface. :-)

The Pita Oceana 2009 edition will be available in stainless steel, titanium, 18 ct. Gold, or Platinum 950. The watch is limited to 80 pieces only.

The buyer can choose out of a wide variety of of bezels, dials, hands, straps and buckles to have a timepiece taylored to his or her taste and wishes.

Prices start at 3275 Euro for a stainless steel Pita Oceana with a brushed finish.
