Unlike my girlfriend and much to her pleasure I still don’t have my PADI diving license. Despite that I wear a 500m waterproof diving watch. Why…? Well 1. I like my watches to be 100% waterproof since I almost never take them off. 2. They are often more resilient and durable (don’t think I have to explain my preference for that). 3. The diving ring is very useful as a timer for cooking…really!
It will be no surpise that on my website I show you the ultimate waterproof diving watch.
In 2003 Frank M. Bürgin tackled the daunting task of developing the most water resistant mechanical diver’s watch known to man – the 12000 FEET, under the brand name of CX SWISS MILITARY WATCH™.
