In today’s world, everyone wants to look trendy, with new and upcoming fashion. Business owners are introducing new products in the markets to meet the demands of people. Among them, dive watches are one of the ongoing trendy watches.

What are Dive Watches?

• Dive watches or diving watches are mainly designed for underwater diving.
• They are water resistant and dustproof.
• Dive watches have water resistance capacity of more than 10 atm.
• Almost everyone will have a dream of diving underwater and measuring the depth of water. Not all the watches are of high cost; some of them are available at affordable prices.
• Rolex submariner, Rolex Deepsea D-Blue, Omega Seamaster 300, TAG Heuer Aquaracer, Seiko Prospex Sea, etc; are some of the examples of dive watches.

Features and unique characteristics of dive watches

Water Resistance

• The water resistant of a dive watch depends upon the advanced features included in the watch.
• The watch should be water resistant to stop the leakage of water into the watch.
• The water resistant was tested by immersing the watch in a sodium chloride solution for 24 hours and examined functionally.
• Dive watches can be water resistant at 200 meters minimum.

Robust

• The dive watch is generally made of silicon which makes the watch light, shock-resistant, and sturdy.
• For some people the design is not an important thing, but simplicity and robustness are.

Durability of strap

• Dive watches are generally made of stainless steel or rubber straps because rubber and stainless steel are more durable in water.
• Rubber and stainless steel can withstand pressure, direct sunlight, and humidity.

Dive Computer

• A dive computer generally measures the bottom time and depth.
• It generally observes the tank pressure, ascent rate, log dives and more.

Case

• The case is made to withstand salt water for long periods of time.
• Case generally protects the watch from water getting inside.

Bezel

• The bezel is used to provide information on how long you have been in underwater and also to how much depth.
• Bezel generally works by rotating it before you get into the water.
• While diving, the latter will move and provide the time and depth you have been in the water.
• It’s easy to use.

Easy to Read

• The readings such as duration of time you have been in water are easy to read in dive watches in low light or high light.
• The hour hands are luminous because of non-radioactive luminescent pigment.

Air Filled Watches

• Air filled watch cases and crystals are mainly designed for extreme depths.
• These watches are tested and concluded that they are well built to withstand any conditions.

Liquid Filled Watches

• These are filled with silicone oil or fluorinated oil exploiting the relative incompressibility of liquids.
• This works with only quartz movements because mechanical movements do not work correctly in the oil filled case.

Precautions

• Divers have to look after their watch before going for diving; they have to make sure that there are no defects present in the watch.
• Before going underwater, they should also look after that bezel is working correctly or not.
