The McQuaide Q1 Abyss is unique one-of-a-kind timepiece. No two cases share the same striking patterns.

Measuring 43.2mm wide and 15mm thick, the McQuaide Q1 Abyss balances rugged durability with refined design. A 120-click unidirectional bezel with BGW9 Super-LumiNova and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal ensure clarity in any condition.

The McQuaide Q1 Abyss is powered by a Swiss Sellita SW200-1 movement, pressure-tested to 100 ATM, and equipped with a helium escape valve, it delivers precision and reliability.

This isn’t just a watch, the McQuaide Q1 Abyss is a statement of individuality.

Dial

Brass Guilloché with Date Window    

A masterpiece of intricate craftsmanship, the Guilloché technique involves engraving repetitive patterns on the dial surface, creating texture, depth, and a dance of reflections as the watch is tilted.     

Our sweeping second hand features a distinctive 'claw' shape and a bold red tip.

BGW9 white emission Super-LumiNova is applied to the hands and indices. An elegant white in daylight, in low light it delivers a crisp blue-green luminescence for unparalleled visibility.

The Date Window is at 3H.

Bezel

Unidirectional rotating Bezel with 120 clicks

The rotating bezel enables the monitoring of elapsed time when diving. The fact it can only rotate in one direction means the remaining time thus shown can only be decreased, for safety.

BGW9 white emission Super-LumiNova is applied to the bezel. An elegant white in daylight, in low light it delivers a crisp blue-green luminescence for unparalleled visibility.

Water Resistance

Certified to 100ATM (1000 metres)

Straps

Hybrid nylon/rubber strap with contrasting stitching     

Our 22mm strap is engineered for the modern adventurer. The upper layer is hard-wearing nylon, and the contrasting stitching adds detail and style.

The underside is made of ridged rubber, providing flexibility and comfort during active pursuits, and enhancing breathability during extended wear.

I bought a watch at the Watchit event…

"I bought a watch at the Watchit event… I bought a watch at the Watchit event on the 21st June 2025, and it is now my everyday wear. I have a collection built over 50 years of around 200 and this goes into my top 5. Value for money, it is probably the top 3 and specification as well, with the big difference being the others are 5k plus. Anyone sitting on the fence should stop and buy one now. British built excellence!"

★★★★★
