JB200 Red Octopus
The octopus, signature of the lineage
Since its first appearances on the dial, the octopus has become the most immediate visual marker of the Jacques Bianchi Marseille brand. Not a logo. Not a statement. Simply a silhouette — that of an animal deeply rooted in Marseille culture and the imagination of Mediterranean diving. The Poulpro line was born from this signature, and each edition extends it in a specific direction.
Why red
The choice of red is not merely decorative. On the matte black dial of the JB200, the red octopus creates a direct, immediate, almost graphic contrast. It's a shade that stands out against the green lume of the indices and hands, without interfering with time readability. The result is a dial that speaks two languages: that of the instrument — clean, legible, functional — and that of identity — a distinctive mark, recognizable at a glance.
Fifty coins
Fifty. This is the smallest edition of the JB200 collection to date. A series designed to remain rare—a collector's item as much as a dive watch. Each timepiece has its number engraved on the caseback.
The configuration of
Crown at 9 o'clock. This is the ergonomic signature of the JB200 - a configuration inherited from the piece's origin, designed for right-handed divers who wear their watch on their left wrist: the crown no longer digs into the back of the hand during underwater movements. A technical detail that has become a defining characteristic.

Assembly in Marseille
The JB200 Poulpro Red is assembled in Marseille, exactly 280 meters from the Old Port. Each piece passes through the hands of the company before leaving: waterproofness control, movement verification, finishing, numbering. Local, demanding production, designed to last.
Super-Luminova®: Heritage Illuminates the JB300
At Jacques Bianchi Marseille, visibility is a historical hallmark.
The JB200 Poulpro Rouge applies this heritage to a double-reading chromatic dial: the 11 indices and hands are applied with green-emitting Super-LumiNova®, consistent with the luminescent markings on the bezel. The red octopus, meanwhile, remains a daytime visual cue — a daytime signature, a nighttime companion that fades to prioritize time-telling. Two languages on the same dial.
