Innovation never stops in the halls of Cressi Elettronica and, in 2019, this prestigious Italian brand has decided to surprise us again with a new diving computer. Inheriting the success of a six products’ dynasty – including the Leonardo, Giotto and Newton – both divers and swimmers from many disciplines will be talking about a single name: Neon. Bearing the Cressi Specialized standard seal, Neon displays a more sporty, modern appearance than previous computers of the brand while maintaining a tendency to be less heavy and more hydrodynamic. With a extra-flat profile of just 14 millimeters and 70 grams, the Neon will never be an underwater nuisance. However, its low profile has not made it lose any quality in safety and protection: its anti-scratch mineral glass has the additional barrier of a Crystal silicone protector to further reduce the risk of breakage and accidents. On a technical level, the User-Friendly Display System (UFDS) screen, now measuring 38 mm in diameter, comes with the addition of a high intensity back lighting that produces up to 4000 MLux, which doubles the lighting power of previous computers and produces a clearer view on deep dives. Two buttons on the Neon’s right side allow its user to easily manage four immersion modes: the classic Air, Nitrox (EAN) and Gauge are joined by a powerful Apnea special mode for free-lung dives. Finally, a low-consumption processor further extends battery life and makes the Neon more fluid in its use. After the successful Leonardo, Giotto, Newton, Drake, Goa and Cartesio, NEON is the seventh project designed, developed and produced in Italy 100% by Cressi Elettronica. It´s a computer with watch design and completely modular construction, extremely robust and reliable. Cressi has all the quality control of this product due to the fact that it’s entirely prepared and made in Cressi Elettronica, referring to either the Software programming or its production and manufacture, quality control and after sales service. Under its latest and attractive watch appearance is hiding thorough software which highlights its versatility. It’s perfect for advanced divers or technical diving and for apnea or snorkelling, but surprisingly simple for medium diver because of the clear and easy information supply only with two buttons.
