Triton
Mr. Jean René Parmentier (1921-1998), a former colonel of the French Air Force and watchmaking enthusiast, designed the Triton in 1962 for Spirotechnique, a firm founded in 1946 by the famous Commander Jacques Cousteau. Mr. Parmentier registered the patent for the emblematic crown protection to secure it and to help prevent deadly diving accidents.
