ANALISI<\/p>\n

Jenny & Cie SA, e successivamente Jenny & Caribbean Montre AG, \u00e8 stata un'importante azienda svizzera produttrice di orologi subacquei con sede a Lengnau, nel Cantone di Berna, negli anni '60 e '70. Gi\u00e0 tra il 1962 e il 1963 vennero lanciati sul mercato i primi orologi subacquei (15 modelli), chiamati \"Caribbean\", testati per essere impermeabili fino a 30 atmosfere (\"Caribbean 300\"). Nel 1964, l'azienda sperimenta nuove formule per rendere i suoi orologi ancora pi\u00f9 impermeabili, spingendoli fino a 700 metri di profondit\u00e0 (\"Caribbean 700\"). Verso la met\u00e0 degli anni Sessanta arriva il \"Caribbean 2000\", un orologio professionale per immersioni estreme che vantava numerosi brevetti, dalla cassa monoblocco impermeabile con lunetta girevole, al vetro minerale pressato tra la lunetta e il corpo della cassa, fino alla lunetta che mostrava l'indicatore di decompressione. Questi numerosi brevetti furono concessi alla fine degli anni '60 a numerosi altri produttori che si affacciavano sul mercato in continua crescita degli orologi subacquei professionali (tra cui Doxa, Philip Watch, Ollech & Wajs, Fortis, Aquadive e altri). Tuttavia, \u00e8 solo nel 1968\/1969 che Jenny & Cie SA implementa la funzione cronografica su un orologio subacqueo di massima profondit\u00e0: nasce il \"Discochron\".<\/span><\/p>\n

Questo orologio estremamente raro, datato tra il 1969 e il 1972, ha una gigantesca cassa monoblocco a forma di disco di 50 mm. Il suo profilo satinato \u00e8 interrotto solo sul lato destro, che ospita la corona originale con il logo Marlin stilizzato (un logo registrato con licenza d'uso da parte di terzi) e i pulsanti del cronografo. Il lato inferiore della cassa presenta il logo del marchio e del modello, oltre ai tre brevetti di cui questo orologio \u00e8 titolare. Sopra il monoblocco si trova la lunetta girevole, caratterizzata da quattro sporgenze all'altezza dei 15 minuti, che ne facilitano l'utilizzo anche indossando i guanti. Sopra di essa si trova un bellissimo inserto arancione e nero protetto da resina plastica (erroneamente chiamata bachelite).<\/p>\n

Il quadrante presenta uno spettacolare contatore a tre quadranti che emerge dallo sfondo arancione (uno dei colori pi\u00f9 visibili in immersione, soprattutto a grandi profondit\u00e0). La superficie \u00e8 granulosa e presenta indici a bastone riempiti di trizio su cerchi neri. Il contatore dei minuti cronografici \u00e8 molto interessante e raro e ricorda, con la sua alternanza di colori giallo, rosso e bianco, gli orologi da regata. Le lancette delle ore e dei minuti sono grandi e visibili matite nere con pasta luminescente all'interno; la lancetta del cronografo ha una sorprendente forma triangolare.<\/p>\n

Sotto il vetro e sotto il quadrante si nasconde il formidabile calibro cronografico Valjoux 72, uno dei pi\u00f9 preziosi movimenti a carica manuale esistenti. Misura 13\u2033 (29,5 mm) di larghezza, ha 17 rubini e funziona a 21.600 vph (frequenza aumentata dalla manifattura nel 1969).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Already between 1962 and 1963, the first Diver watches (15 models) were launched on the market, called "Caribbean", which were tested to be water-resistant up to 30 atmospheres ("Caribbean 300"). In 1964, the company experimented with new formulas to make its watches even more waterproof, pushing them to depths of up to 700 metres ("Caribbean 700"). Around the mid-1960s, the "Caribbean 2000" arrived, a professional watch for extreme diving that boasted numerous patents, from the water-resistant monobloc case with rotating bezel, to the mineral glass pressed between the bezel and the case body, and up to the bezel that showed the decompression indicator. These numerous patents were granted in the late 1960s to numerous other manufacturers entering the ever-growing market for professional diving watches (including Doxa, Philip Watch, Ollech & Wajs, Fortis, Aquadive, and others). However, it was only in 1968\/1969 that Jenny & Cie SA implemented the chronograph function on a maximum-depth diver's watch: the "Discochron" was born. This extremely rare watch, dating from 1969 to 1972, has a gigantic 50mm monobloc disc-shaped case. Its satin-finished profile is interrupted only on the right side, which houses the original crown with the stylized Marlin logo (a registered logo licensed for use by third parties) and the chronograph buttons. The underside of the case features the logo of the brand and the model, as well as the three patents this watch holds. Above the monobloc sits the rotating bezel, featuring four protrusions at the 15-minute mark, which allows for easy operation even while wearing gloves. Above this is a beautiful orange and black insert protected by plastic resin (mistakenly called Bakelite). The dial features a spectacular three-dial subdial that emerges from the orange background (one of the most visible colors when diving, especially at great depths). Its surface is grained and features tritium-filled baton indexes set against black circles. The chronograph minute counter subdial is very interesting and rare, reminiscent - with its alternating yellow, red, and white colors - of regatta watches. The hour and minute hands are large, visible black pencils with luminescent paste inside; the chronograph hand has a striking triangular shape. Beneath the glass and beneath the dial lies the formidable Valjoux 72 chronograph caliber, one of the most prized hand-wound movements in existence. It measures 13" (29.5mm) wide, has 17 jewels, and runs at 21,600 vph (a frequency increased by the manufacturer in 1969).\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/negozio\/jenny-caribbean\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"it_IT\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Jenny Caribbean 2000 "Discochron" Steel Case Valjoux 72 Manual-Winding Chronograph Movement From the 1970s\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"SPECIFICATIONS Rare Jenny Caribbean 2000 "Discochron" chronograph with a large steel case and a Valjoux 72 manual-winding chronograph movement, from the 1970s.

Tuttavia, \u00e8 solo nel 1968\/1969 che Jenny & Cie SA implementa la funzione cronografo su un orologio subacqueo di massima profondit\u00e0: nasce il \"Discochron\". Questo orologio estremamente raro, datato tra il 1969 e il 1972, ha una gigantesca cassa monoblocco a forma di disco di 50 mm. Il suo profilo satinato \u00e8 interrotto solo sul lato destro, che ospita la corona originale con il logo Marlin stilizzato (un logo registrato con licenza d'uso da parte di terzi) e i pulsanti del cronografo. Il lato inferiore della cassa presenta il logo del marchio e del modello, oltre ai tre brevetti di cui questo orologio \u00e8 titolare. Sopra il monoblocco si trova la lunetta girevole, caratterizzata da quattro sporgenze all'altezza dei 15 minuti, che ne facilitano l'utilizzo anche indossando i guanti. Sopra di essa si trova un bellissimo inserto arancione e nero protetto da resina plastica (erroneamente chiamata bachelite). Il quadrante presenta uno spettacolare contatore a tre quadranti che emerge dallo sfondo arancione (uno dei colori pi\u00f9 visibili in immersione, soprattutto a grandi profondit\u00e0). La superficie \u00e8 granulosa e presenta indici a bastone riempiti di trizio su cerchi neri. Il contatore dei minuti cronografici \u00e8 molto interessante e raro e ricorda, con la sua alternanza di colori giallo, rosso e bianco, gli orologi da regata. Le lancette delle ore e dei minuti sono grandi e visibili matite nere con pasta luminescente all'interno; la lancetta del cronografo ha una sorprendente forma triangolare. Sotto il vetro e sotto il quadrante si nasconde il formidabile calibro cronografico Valjoux 72, uno dei pi\u00f9 pregiati movimenti a carica manuale esistenti. Misura 13\" (29,5 mm) di larghezza, ha 17 rubini e funziona a 21.600 vph (frequenza aumentata dalla manifattura nel 1969).","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/shop\/jenny-caribbean\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"it-IT","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/shop\/jenny-caribbean\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"it-IT","@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/shop\/jenny-caribbean\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/JENNY-CARIBBEAN-2000-_DISCOCHRON__1_1.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/JENNY-CARIBBEAN-2000-_DISCOCHRON__1_1.jpg","width":2013,"height":2013},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/shop\/jenny-caribbean\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Shop","item":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/negozio\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Jenny Caribbean 2000 “Discochron” Steel Case Valjoux 72 Manual-Winding Chronograph Movement From the 1970s"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/#website","url":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/","name":"Il Vintageur","description":"La vostra collezione di orologi su misura","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"it-IT"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/#organization","name":"Il Vintageur","url":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"it-IT","@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/logo-dark.svg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/logo-dark.svg","width":392,"height":28,"caption":"The Vintageur"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/vintageur\/"]}]},"product_price_amount":"9900.00","product_price_currency":"EUR","og_availability":"instock","product_availability":"instock","product_retailer_item_id":"156","product_condition":"new"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/4326","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4326"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/4326\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":63238,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/4326\/revisions\/63238"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4326"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=4326"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=4326"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=4326"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
