Diving Watch Information
Diving Watches:
Diving watches are exclusively intended for underwater diving. Usually, a diver’s watch has a water resistance of about 200-300 meters; that is estimated to be 660-990 feet. There are lots of diving watches in the market today but, an original diving watch should be in accordance with the standards of ISO 6425. If your very own diving watch is marked with the word DIVER’S, then it is an authentic divers watch.
Several popular brands that produce diving watches are: Rolex, Panerai, Omega, Blancpain, IWC, Seiko, Citizen.
If you want to know more about the standards set by ISO 6425 on diving watches, check out the following:
- There should be a presence of minute markings on the face of the watch and they should easily be distinguishable
- There should also be the presence of a bezel that is unidirectional with elapsed markings every 5 minutes
- It should be readable or visible at an approximate 25cm even in complete darkness
- There should also be an indication that the watch is running even if you are in darkness. The indication is usually a second hand having a luminous or glowing tail
- The magnetic field should also be tested and carefully examined
- There should also be an occurrence of “end of life” (EOL) pointer on watches that are powered by batteries
- The chemical resistance should also be tested by means of immersing the watch in a NaCl solution within 24 hours. This is done to test the rust resistance of the watch.
- The watch should also pass the shock resistance
The case of a diving watch is very important because of protection and shielding the main components of the watch. So, it must be 100% water resistant and must also have the supreme endurance to the galvanic corrosiveness of the sea water. Shock and external magnetic forces are common underwater so, the watch case must be able to withstand these all.
So, what was the prime reason for developing these watches? Well, they were simply in response to military needs. The very first diving watch was said to come out in the market in the year 1932 when Omega created it.
The most popular model is considered to be the Rolex Submariner which was introduced in Bales in 1954. It was even chosen to be the watch for the 007 James Bond movies.
