You can actually dive with a diver’s watch, and we don’t just mean the board at the local lido. The chief himself, Rolex’s Hans Wilsdorf, made a major move in water-resistant watches with the patenting of the Oyster case in 1926. Six years later, perfect replica Omega created the first commercial dive watch, dubbed the UK aaa quality replica Omega Marine, plunging 73 metres below the surface of Lake Geneva for testing. A dive watch today will bring you even closer to Poseidon, pushing from 600 to 20,000 feet.
What makes a dive copy watch daring enough to take on the open seas? A minimum water resistance of 100 metres, legibility (often through luminosity), a rotating bezel to document exactly how long you’ve been under (FINALLY, the watch triumphs over the iPhone’s timekeeping abilities here) and for the pros amongst us who love to scuba dive beyond swimming with the turtles near the shore, a helium valve to conquer even further depths. King of the Diver’s watch – Bond, James Bond himself – Daniel Craig sports 1:1 super clone Omega’s iconic Seamaster model both on and off screen. That makes it surely justifiable enough to ask for diving lessons this Christmas. And maybe a diver’s watch too, then.
