The JB200 meets Olympique de Marseille football club, with football details worked into its dial and bezel.
French brand Jacques Bianchi comes from a military diving background dating back to the 1980s and 1990s, with its watches promising superior legibility and a practical design. The JB200 Diver was initially developed for the French Navy’s diving units, and that case has since become the foundation for the brand’s modern dive watches. The watch returned in 2021 as an automatic re-edition, and the JB200 has since appeared in versions such as the JB200 Poulpro and the Fratello x Jacques Bianchi JB200 Poulpro “Night Diver”. Now, the same JB200 has been reworked for a new collaboration with Olympique de Marseille, the famous football club that shares its home city with the brand. Meet the Jacques Bianchi x Olympique de Marseille OM200.
The watch comes in a brushed-steel 42mm case, and the caseback shows the Olympique de Marseille logo. It is also water-resistant to 200m. Its bezel is where the football connection gets clever. It has 60 clicks and a blue insert with a 45-minute scale, while the section from 45 to 60 minutes is marked separately to represent additional time at the end of a football half. A luminous triangle at 12 finishes off the football-inspired timing scale.
The Jacques Bianchi x Olympique de Marseille OM200 gets a deep-blue dial in the club’s colour, made using a 20-layer enamel-like process. The Olympique de Marseille logo is embossed into the centre, then sunray-brushed and enamelled, while the applied indexes and hands are filled with Super-LumiNova BGW9. There is also a fun football detail on the lollipop seconds hand, whose counterweight is shaped like a football.
Inside the Jacques Bianchi x Olympique de Marseille OM200 is the Swiss Soprod P024 automatic movement, COSC-certified as a chronometer. There is no date, and the movement is rated to run within -4/+6 seconds per day. It is an alternative to the ETA 2824, with at least 38 hours of power reserve and a frequency of 28,800 vibrations/hour.
The Jacques Bianchi x Olympique de Marseille OM200 comes with two straps, a blue FKM rubber strap and a blue military-style elastic strap with a central white stripe. It is a limited edition, with pre-orders opening on September 3, 2026, and running until September 24, followed by deliveries starting in December 2026. It is priced at EUR 995 in France, with taxes.
