Dive Watches Revolution Overtime

Diving as a sport has risen in a few years, giving a steep rise in the modernization of tools that are used for diving. Divers benefit from the devices equipped with features that make their work easy. Now divers go diving with a single tool with all the features. Several tools are required for diving, but the watch got modified and got a new look in recent years. The diver’s watch has become a fashion accessory and tool for divers.

Initial look of dive watches

Initially, the diver’s watch came with a single water resistance feature and analog timer. Several companies used to design and make diving watches, of which Rolex Hermetic was the leading. The initial look of the watch was with features meant only for diving, but as the industry advanced, the companies started adding the features. The watch, which can provide perfect readability in the darkness, came with a case that was water resistant for a minimum level of 330ft or more than that. Now the watches in the market come with a water resistance of up to 990ft or more. Modern technology has made it easier for companies to combine more than one feature.

The modern look of the dive watches

Some companies are into dive watches but are known less, such as Aegir Instruments, Aquadive, Germano & Walter, and many more. These companies offer you modern as well as vintage-style dive watches. Some styles and particular designs have revolutionized the diving watch industry. Here’s a list of some watch models that changed the industry.

• The Rolex Submariner has a rugged design and is versatile. Lots of brands have been trying to imitate this evergreen design.
• Ulysse Nardin has a case that showed the time according to the movement.
• Breguet No. 169 was the first tourbillon that came with high complications. But now the tourbillion has advanced and improvised itself, and every other person wishes to have a tourbillon in their collection.
• Chronograph was considered a controversial choice. The brands that made chronographs included are Breitling, Seiko, and Heuer. But today, all three consortiums have gone out of production, but the chronograph by El Primero is still in production by Zenith.
