Goutte d'Eau Compressor Diver

The “water drop” inspiration and concept

The new Goutte d’Eau is classic. But dive deeper into its design ethic, and you’ll see that looks aren’t everything.

Designed to endure the hardest Finnish winter and to dive under the ice with the Ice Freediving World Champion, Johanna Nordblad, the Goutte d’Eau endures the toughest challenges either above or underwater.

Stainless Steel, sapphire crystal, screw-down crowns... the perfect combination for a tool watch with the looks of a classic, fluid design.

The Goutte d'Eau Inspiration

Two criteria drive the creation of the Goutte d'Eau:

To be beautiful, and to be beautifully engineered. 

Inspiration was also drawn from the flowing teardrop lines of the 1937 Talbot-Lago T150-C SS Coupé, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful cars ever built: Because its beauty flowed effortlessly from its engineering.

The Isotope Goutte d’Eau was designed to live under and above water and has two design options: Nordblad "Special edition" and Orange.

Our first diver watch stands out with its unique inner bezel featuring two crowns for superior security and water resistance.

The watch head design has a classic and timeless approach, featuring our unique teardrop dial. Our Rider Jumping Hour introduced this design concept, which is now incorporated into all our watch models.

The Isotope Goutte d’Eau features a bespoke and exclusive stainless steel bracelet with a discreet extension clasp mechanism that allows you to quickly change the bracelet size to wear over a diving suit.

The new Nordblad, Orange, Yellow, Green and Red versions are animated by Japan made Seiko NH38  or Swiss-made Sellita SW200 offering the reliability that every Isotope watch demands.

Every Goutte d’Eau has an etched serial number and comes with two years of Limited Warranty.

The Johanna Nordblad "special edition"

The Nordblad Special Edition is a homage to Johanna Nordblad, World Champion of Ice Diving whose incredible story of resilience and braveness inspires us all and we proudly welcome a true Champion to the Isotope team.

Johanna Nordblad’s Bio:

In 1997, I started scuba diving lessons and later became a divemaster. I then took the teacher’s course. In 2000, I tried freediving for the first time and fell in love with it. That same year I went to the World Championships in France. In 2004, I set a world record in Dynamic Apnea. In 2010, I suffered a serious leg injury while downhill biking, which caused me a lot of pain for several years. During this time, I began using cold water treatment for my leg, which helped me manage the pain and also introduced me to the idea of freediving in cold water. In 2015, I broke the Women’s World Record for diving under ice wearing only a swimsuit, with a distance of fifty meters. I am constantly discovering new, unexpected aspects of freediving and learning more about myself. It's an amazing journey. You can find more about my experiences on johannanordblad.com.
