History
THE SUPER COMPRESSOR
Archimèdes by Milus is the modern successor of the Super compressor of the Seventies with its dramatic proportions, as well as the 666, the original model created a decade earlier.
In the mid-to-late 50s, Swiss case manufacturer Ervin Piquerez S.A. (EPSA) filed patents and began manufacturing their latest and greates catalog component, the Super Compressor case, for different brands.
The Supper Compressor case played an important role in the history of dive watches. Its innovative design utilizes as unique “ compressor” system whereby the case becomes more watertight as the watch descends deeper.
As atmospheric pressure increases, the caseback is compressed on the gaskets creating a tighter seal. This was a major selling point back in the 1970’s and Super Compressor watches stand tall as some of the most coveted dive watches today.
