SUB13 (website) announced the completion of their Leica M6 underwater housing, celebrating 70 years of Leica M (previously reported here):
Each unit features a fully functional film advance lever machined from solid titanium, hand-polished, and finished in bronze PVD coating. The detailed internal actuator is set behind a curved viewing window sculpted from sapphire glass, allowing owners to observe the complete motion of their film advance. The housing’s lever precisely mirrors the radius of the viewing window below, seamlessly blending form and function.
While the front port has been machined as part of the main body, it has been carefully designed and engineered to accommodate eight different M lenses, ranging from 28mm to 50mm.
Over a year of dedicated design, engineering, and prototyping preceded the final machining to achieve their exacting standards.
A single production run of only 13 units including a special build for Leica Store Bellevue with laser engraved, paint-filled detailing of a Killer Whale celebrating the state’s iconic marine mammal.
Independently certified to maximum recreational scuba depth – 130ft / 40m
