Diving Watches: 5 Fast Facts
See The 10 Best Diving Watches on Ezvid Wiki ►►
Fact #1. Until the 1920s, any watches produced with water-resistance were done so on a customer-by-customer basis, meaning that no companies were making them as a standard piece. Divers in hard hats and diving bells would often bring their pocket watches into the deep by suspending them within or affixing them to their helmets. This allowed them to track their time spent underwater.
Fact #2. Things changed in 1926, when Rolex unveiled its Oyster series of water-resistant watches. Rolex and its sister company Tudor have since partnered with several famous dives and swims in an effort to reinforce the power of their brands. However, it was Omega who produced the first industrially made, water-resistant watches for widespread distribution back in 1932.
Fact #3. Water-resistance is a strange bit of technology. Warranties can only guard against so much, and you're at the mercy of a lot of individual company policies if you get water in your watch. It's hard to prove if you took it too deep, if it was defective from the start, or whether something happened between your acquisition and its failure. You also might get a customer service representative on a bad day. That could cost you a lot of money in out-of-warranty repairs.
Fact #4. Manufacturers have to account for any potential weak spot. That means that the rear plate, front glass, and crown all have to have water-resistance measures in place. If the watch has chronograph features, the buttons that operate those functions also needs gaskets to keep water from finding its way into the timepiece.
Fact #5. In addition to providing you with an accurate readout of the time in wet and pressurized conditions, a diving watch makes a particular statement. Anyone who recognizes the style will read a number of implications into your personality. It says that you're the type of person who isn't afraid of diving into the depths, someone who's ready for adventure at a moment's notice, and who knows a thing or two about fashion.
