The story

In 2021, Cuervo y Sobrinos announced a partnership with the world record holder, Francisco ‘Pipin’ Ferreras. Born in Matanzas, Cuba, Pipin acquired a passion for spearfishing at a young age, diving ever deeper and submerging for longer with each passing year. Sometimes described as a ‘human fish’, Pipin is probably best known for ‘No-Limits’ freediving, the discipline where he first came to prominence. He established the first world record for ‘No-Limits’ freediving back in November 1989, descending to a depth of 112 meters. An esoteric sport, it’s worth pausing for a moment and imagining life in this subaquatic world, an underwater universe that Pipin knows well.

After 35 years, on August 11, 2024, Pipin plans to challenge himself to achieve his own record by diving to 112 meters in the Cuban waters off the coast of Trinidad, at the age of 62 years old!

In recognition of Pipin’s many achievements, Cuervo y Sobrinos is pleased to unveil a new limited edition model in his honour, the Buceador Caribe Pipin.

Optimally designed to be legible whether underwater or on terra firma, the Buceador Caribe Pipin features a pure white dial incorporating blue and red accents, a homage to the Cuban flag. The white indices are outlined in blue while the minute hand, the most critical indication underwater, is accentuated with an bright red edge. Both the hands and indices are lined with Super-LumiNova®. 

Housed in a highly complex, 43mm steel case, featuring a container-type construction, this divers’ watch is water resistant to 200m. An ingenious pusher system, positioned at 4 o’clock, unlocks the crown at 2 o’clock. The crown, once again executed in red, is used to adjust the internal rotating bezel, allowing the wearer to monitor their dive time. A further crown, located at 9 o' clock, is used to adjust the indications as well as tension the mainspring. The Buceador Caribe Pipin is presented on a white high-gloss rubber strap and is also supplied with a blue leather strap. 

The Buceador Caribe Pipin is limited to 171 pieces, a reference to the last World Record Pipin set in the No-Limits discipline of 171 metres (560 feet) back in November 2003. This limited-edition timepiece celebrates a remarkable individual and a much loved son of Cuba. Immerse yourself in the legacy of a true legend.
