Finnish dive computer pioneer Suunto has officially announced the release of two new and long-awaited dive computers – Suunto Nautical and Suunto Nautic S.
The manufacturer emphasizes that both products, which are both designed and manufactured in Finland, mark the beginning of a completely new series of dive computers. It is created to meet the ever-increasing demands of both recreational and technical divers.
Historical heritage
Computer names are derived from the Latin word nautical, which means “ship and sailor.” It is a direct tribute to Suunto’s historical roots in navigation and the first precision compass that brought the company worldwide fame in the 1930s.
“The Nautic series builds on this heritage, combining Suunto’s proven reliability with modern features designed for today’s diving adventures,” says Lena Bergendahl, Suunto’s diving category manager. “It marks the next chapter in Suunto’s long story of exploration above and below the water.”
Suunto Nautic – the next generation of oversized computer
Suunto Nautical is the flagship of the series, equipped with 3.26 inch AMOLED display – the largest screen of its kind on the market. With a resolution of 720 x 382 pixels, it ensures optimal readability in all diving conditions.
The adaptive user interface ensures that critical dive data is always clearly visible. Despite the large and bright screen, Suunto promises impressive battery life:
- Until 120 hours in diving mode (medium brightness);
- 90 hours in night conditions;
- 80 hours at maximum brightness.
