A Story Preserved Under Pressure
61°12′N · 2°17′E
The Bruvik Black Gold First Oil Johan Sverdrup is part of the opening chapter of FIELD SERIES — a collection inspired by defining discoveries beneath the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
At its core lies the Hydracapsule® — a sealed sapphire capsule embedded in the caseback, containing a microdrop of genuine oil from the Johan Sverdrup field, carefully prepared and blended with an organic carrier fluid. A moving air bubble creates a constantly changing composition with every movement of the wrist. Nothing is programmed. Nothing is repeated. Only gravity, movement and physics.
Johan Sverdrup was discovered in 2010, with first oil on 5 October 2019. The Hydracapsule caseback displays the field name, coordinates, year of discovery and date of first oil, creating a physical connection between the watch and the discovery it represents.
Crafted in DLC-coated 316L stainless steel with warm rose gold-coloured details, the 41 mm timepiece is powered by the Sellita SW300 Swiss automatic movement with a 56-hour power reserve. It is supplied with a pull-up leather strap with orange stitching and an additional black FKM rubber strap.

A GENUINE CONNECTION
Authenticity cannot be manufactured. It has to be real.
Every BLACK GOLD FIRST OIL contains a genuine microdrop of oil from the specific field it represents. Before being integrated into the Hydracapsule®, the oil is carefully prepared and combined with an organic carrier fluid. Together they create the depth, movement and visual expression that define BLACK GOLD.
The amount of genuine oil contained within each watch is microscopic, yet its significance is far greater than its size. It creates an authentic physical connection between the watch and the discovery it represents.
Crafted with Purpose, Built to Evolve
Why Hydracapsule®
For a long time, I believed BLACK GOLD was waiting for a better design. Looking back, I realise I was asking the wrong question. The design had never been the problem. The story was.
Hydracapsule became the answer because it transformed an idea into something physical. A sealed sapphire capsule, a specially developed fluid containing a microdrop of genuine oil, and a single moving air bubble allow every movement of the wrist to create a new composition.
Nothing is programmed. Nothing is repeated. Only gravity. Only movement. Only physics.
The technology didn't create the idea. It simply allowed the idea to become real.
58°50′N · 2°43′E - JOHAN SVERDRUP
A NEW CHAPTER BENEATH THE NORTH SEA
Discovered in 2010, Johan Sverdrup proved that remarkable discoveries beneath the Norwegian Continental Shelf were not confined to the past. First oil was produced on 5 October 2019.
The BLACK GOLD FIRST OIL Johan Sverdrup contains a genuine microdrop of oil from the field — connecting the watch to one of the defining Norwegian discoveries of a new generation.
EVERY DETAIL BELONGS
I've never believed details exist to impress. They exist to explain.
Every component of BLACK GOLD contributes to the same idea. The layered dial reflects the geological formations beneath the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The warm rose gold details represent the value eventually brought to the surface. The oil drop recalls what remained hidden beneath layers of rock for millions of years.
When every detail has a reason to exist, nothing needs to shout. Everything simply belongs.
