Diving watches are as popular today as they ever have been. The minority will be used for the purpose they were intended. The majority, however, will only ever go as deep as the bottom of a swimming pool. Why then, do these watches appeal to the more and less adventurous amongst us? Is it due to the possibility of adventure hidden within the models? Or is it a way to showcase technical prowess? We explore the allure of diving watches for divers and non-divers, alike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diver’s Watches are Resilient<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, when people spend money on a classy accessory they want to be sure that you are getting great value. Most watches are seen as a reliable investment that will need to perform and keep performing whether pushed to its limit or not. With a diving watch, the regular diver would by definition, not look anywhere else. The non-diver, on the other hand, can rest assured that wear and tear from the day-to-day living will be like water off a duck’s back. This is because diving watches are as resilient and durable as they come. They are easily suitable for swimming and sailing. In most cases, they’re able to withstand depths of 200 meters and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is easy to see, why such great levels of durability are both sought after by divers and desired by non-divers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diver’s Watches are an Engineering Marvel<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

These watches need to be capable of a lot, and many of them take a long time to develop. The deeper you go the more complicated the watch needs to be in order to carry on working. In addition, who doesn’t like cool tools and gadgets. Whether you need high levels of functionality or not, these features represent good value for money. True diver\u2019s watches also have to conform to the most stringent testing standards so quality is guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

One such example is the ORIS Divers Sixty Five Orange Dial Watch 01 733 7707 4356-07 8 20 17<\/a>. The brand is well known for its highly durable timepieces. Their diver’s watches are leaders in their field. The Oris Sixty Five as a model is inspired by a popular 60s timepiece. The watch is made of anti-corrosive steel and the dial is covered by a sapphire crystal. To accent the collectable appeal of the watch, the case and the bracelet are dial-coloured. In order to reduce glare and ensure maximum readability the crystal is domed and features an anti-reflective coating. Luminescent hands on the orange gradient dial guarantee the watch will be readable in any condition. The watch is an automatic model with up to 38 hours of power reserve and a water-resistant up to 100 meters or 10 bars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diver’s Watches are Associated with Class<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Lastly comes the looks- there is just a certain prestige associated with diving watches. Having a diver’s watch is considered stylish and high-class as it means you probably have the time and means to indulge in an expensive sport<\/a>. They also have a beauty that stems from the engineering brilliance both visible on the surface and below. Aesthetically speaking there is a nice variety that you can go for. From sporty to refined, all available watches have that sought-after, brilliantly distinguishable look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examples of this range from the classic-looking Seiko Limited Edition Prospex \u201cIsland Green\u201d SPB207J1<\/a> to the more sporty yet equally as impressive Squale 1521 1521BKBL.NT-CINTRB20<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want that one special timepiece that you can rely on in any situation, on a daily basis with looks to match- you should definitely consider a diving watch. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
