As summer arrives, it's time to pick the watch that suits the season too. Among the collections available at our Florio Folini boutiques in Sondrio and Livigno, one model stands out for its fresh, easy-going spirit, the perfect companion for the warm months ahead: the D1 Milano Polycarbon Diver.
Italian design that turns heads
D1 Milano was founded in Milan in 2013, during Fashion Week, by a young entrepreneur, Dario Spallone, with the support of Bocconi University's business incubator. In little more than ten years, the brand has made a name for itself around the world thanks to an unmistakable style: minimalist lines, clean geometric shapes and that iconic octagonal bezel with integrated bracelet that echoes the look of luxury sports watches.
What caught our eye from the very start was the idea behind the brand: watches with real visual impact, beautifully detailed, yet accessibly priced. A younger, more direct way of thinking about watches, one that speaks to anyone who loves a contemporary style while staying rooted in the tradition of timepieces that matter.
The right watch for summer
The D1 Milano Polycarbon Diver is made for the summer months. The secret is all in the material: case and bracelet are crafted from ultralight, shock-resistant polycarbonate with a soft, velvety finish. The result is a watch you barely feel on your wrist, and one that still never fails to draw a glance.
But light doesn't mean fragile. With a 40.5 mm case, a reliable quartz movement and water resistance to 100 metres, the Polycarbon Diver is a true sports diver's watch: perfect for a dip in the pool or for something a little more adventurous.
And then, perhaps the most summery touch of all: the colours. The bright, playful shades of this collection are impossible to achieve on a metal watch, here polycarbonate reveals all its versatility, bringing a unique sense of freshness and energy to mark the finest hours of summer.
Five models in the collection
The D1 Milano Polycarbon Diver family comes in five versions, each with its own character:
- Drift Diver — understated and versatile, for every day.
- Carbon Diver — the most technical, contemporary touch.
- Lagoon Diver — shades that recall the sea.
- Steel Diver — a subtle nod to steel.
- Fire Diver — the boldest, brightest choice.
Five takes on the same idea, to suit your own style.
