Watches for divers - what to look for when choosing a diver
For both the professional diver and the diving enthusiast, proper preparation for activity, e.g. swimming, freediving or diving and the choice of reliable equipment, such as a wetsuit, fins and mask are of paramount importance. A durable dive computer or a reliable dive watch should also be part of your equipment when diving, in order to be able to measure your time underwater and safely return to the surface without decompression stops.
However, the most important thing for a dive watch is its water resistance rating. The higher the water resistance is, the more resistant the device will be to leaking and pressure changes. For this reason, a diver's watch should have a minimum water resistance of up to 200 metres (20 ATM) to allow for safe underwater immersion. For deep-sea diving, on the other hand, you should have a device with a water resistance rating of 30 ATM or more (even up to 150 ATM).
When choosing a professional diver's watch, it is also worth considering its construction, materials and functions. What do premium dive watches have to offer? Be sure to read the descriptions below!
Swiss watch for divers from Tissot
Tissot, the Swiss manufacturer, is passionate about creating precise and innovative watches for a diverse range of people, including athletes. The brand's rich offer includes models inspired by motoring, team sports and water sports. The latter group is represented by diving watches with specially enhanced water resistance, which allows lovers of water activities to explore the underwater world. The Tissot Seastar 1000 Quartz Chronograph T120.417.17.051.02 men's watch belongs to this group. The model has a water resistance to a depth of 1,000 feet, or 300 metres (30 bar/ATM). This will make the watch an irreplaceable companion for all water-related activities such as swimming, snorkelling and freediving. Additional protection is provided by the screw-down crown and caseback.
For this type of sport, the equipment will certainly be a considerable convenience. The model has a chronograph and an aluminium bezel rotating in one direction, allowing divers to time their dives. Readability in all conditions is ensured by hands and indices coated with Super-LumiNova (making it easier to read the time in the dark) and an anti-reflective coating applied to both sides of the convex sapphire glass (allowing the time to be read in bright sunlight). Another advantage is undoubtedly the black synthetic rubber strap, which provides comfort of wearing. It feels very comfortable on the wrist and on a diving suit.
Spinnaker – diver for special tasks
Deep-sea diving brings new challenges, but also risks and dangers associated with being at great depths. Above all, it is a sport that is reserved for professional divers and those training under the guidance of an experienced team. For those for whom passion has become a way of life, the Spinnaker brand has produced the Spinnaker Tesei Mille Metri Ebony Limited Edition SP-5090-33 watch. This unique diver's watch, which pays tribute to Italian naval officer Teseo Tesei and his contributions, has everything that any professional requires from a specialised piece of equipment - its parts are made of high-quality materials, its water resistance is 100 ATM (or 1,000 metres), it has a screw-down crown and caseback as well as a unidirectional rotating bezel for measuring time underwater.
For any diver, readability in the deep sea and accurate timekeeping are very important. That is why the Spinnaker SP-5090-33 watch has large indices, thick hands covered with a highly luminescent substance and a magnified date display. On top of this, the model is powered by the Sellita SW-200 automatic movement with a 38-hour power reserve. Men who prefer flexible straps when diving can quickly swap the steel bracelet for a silicone black strap, which comes with a special tool to easily change it.
