Available on the market today the number of models of diving watchs, and their waterproof ability, the basic number of 10 meters deep, the deepest to the 11,000 meters. Not all can be marked with a waterproof watch to go diving. Waterproof 30 meters or 50 meters diving watch, but life waterproof, which means that when it rains can wash their hands or do not take off, try to watch with this level into the pool is unwise. 100 meters above can formally known as the dive watch. Mark of 100 meters or 200 meters waterproof watch, you can wear swimming or diving in the shallow waters. In general, the tools of human nature without the aid of diving diving world record is now 162 meters, so water depth of 300 meters above the watch for scuba diving, deep sea diving is a true professional watches. Any of a waterproof watch, even if the marked water depth, are not placed in hot water - watch to water, but not against steam.
Major watch brand seems to have professional addiction, although most people do not have the opportunity to dive to 50 meters below, but the brands are still powerful in the diving depth of research and development efforts. Bvlgari Diagono Professional diving to 2000 meters expression, Panerai Luminor Submersible professional diving watch waterproof to 2,500 meters, Bo Laishi (Bell & Ross) Hydromax scuba diving, watch even 11,000 meters. Many brands have a professional diving watch, so that the water watch depth of diving far beyond the limits of human beings can descend.
Deconstruction: the crown and the shoulder
Protected by the crown cap, increasing water resistance
Diving into the water most likely location is the crown because the crown is the only part of China Unicom and the movement outside. In order to prevent water movement through the crown into the production division tried various methods, called screw the crown was designed, the crown can be tightened to the junction of the crown made of waterproof plastic rubber circle. When the crown was tightened, the water will be strictly isolated from the watch outside. Screw-down crown although reliable, but very inconvenient to use, the only problem is that threads will be worn, so that the water decreased. It is today widely used brand of dive watchs crown structure, the same design from the classic Rolex.
Other companies also developed their own unique crown: about 50 years, Mido designed a special waterproof design of the crown - Aquadura cork crown sealing system, the U.S. degrees of natural cork embedded in the watch crown to ensure water resistance. Since it is not afraid of aging cork Why? Because of special treatment makes the cork moist and elastic year, even in the crown is not exactly a tight situation, still waterproof. The only downside is, this structure does not guarantee the depth of water, only 50 meters or less waterproof. Last year, the commander of gold limited edition, is Mido from the spirit of excellence in 1959, which implements the functionality and reliability of the perfect unity, Gold watches to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the listing of the new limited edition series. Integration of the case is not the back cover, using a unique Aquadura cork sealing system, built-in waterproof device to make the crown cork to ensure waterproof performance. Although only 30 meters waterproof, but it is the highest water in daily life assurance. Panerai locking lever designed to bridge the crown structure, and obtained a patent in 1956. Principle is through the use of a crown has a lever to pressure in the case, making the watch significantly enhanced waterproof, waterproof and can withstand the 1,000 meters was verified pressure. So far, this device there is still one of the hallmarks Peinahaite, Luminor watch is also suiwatch for left hand left to the crown. Compressor Jaeger-developed crown, the use of product R & D compression screw device, by rotating the compression space, so that the crown is completely within the reach of the watertight seal pad state, and to improve water resistance. Design of red and white arrows, white arrows represent the crown has been locked, the red arrows represent the crown has been unscrew. In addition, Cartier Pasha Series crown and hamiltonian divers dive watches crown, are fitted with enhanced protection of waterproof screw-type crown, and a link to the watch buckle body, prevent accidental drop lost.

Maybe people will think that shoulder just to watch this construction decoration and design, in fact, for the dive watchs, the shoulder pad is meaningful. It can protect the crown without outside influence. Screw locking crown despite pressure than normal-in the crown more durable and waterproof, but still in use will occur due to friction force shift or damage occurred. Played a role in this protective shoulder pad, shoulder pad, there are two now, parcels and non-wrap. We generally see a non-wrapped style, the crown next to the partition function can play a crash. Another main area wrap-wrap the crown, the crown is an active device can be sealed, so that the crown can not pull out, so as to achieve collision avoidance purposes. Panerai crown shoulder pad is very well-known, large crown an external device to lock, you can either crash the crown to prevent accidental touch, this is crucial for the purposes of the wearer, especially in turbid water next. Another example is the Omega Ploprof coaxial dive watch, this is a very well-known engraved 70 professional diving left-handed version of the watch, when the French mining company had to use Comex submarine was 600 meters waterproof, the new is 1200 meters. A large crown on the left shoulder, the original design when the loose crown, lateral protection device will bounce off the square, then pull out the crown, adjusting the date can be fast in the first paragraph, second paragraph of the tuning time . If pressed into a square protective device, you can lock the crown into the case.
Deconstruction: A rotating bezel and inner ring
Rotating inner ring has been patented IWC
Divers like to back a small amount of oxygen tanks, in order to reduce the weight of water, but the amount of oxygen and oxygen bottle size, and therefore people who are familiar with diving equipment will measure the amount of oxygen with the device, dive watchs reinforce this need timely . Rotating outer ring can be said that the biggest features of diving watchs, serve as a reminder of the role of diving time. Rotating bezel to mark the scale for the 15,30,45, as most divers can only insist on the oxygen bottle 45 minutes, there is marked individual 60-minute scale. The first 15 minutes are marked with a color or special, because divers will strictly abide by the rise when the 15-minute safety stop doing in order to be absorbed from the nitrogen cylinder in the fully released. Usually as long as the rotating bezel diving, so that the bezel align the minute hand on the 0 scale, and then after watching the minute hand move corresponds to the scale on the bezel can be used to know the time diving. You can also use the countdown, the first know your dive time, rotating bezel to align the minute hand minute scale, and then went to 0 scale of the time the minute hand exactly is your dive time, ie 0 is the scale of the location of your dive Limit time.
External rotation of the bezel is designed into a single counter-clockwise, which is to ensure that only the accounting and more computing time, no account is less, to prevent misuse extended time out of danger. Scale and the number of fluorescent coating on both professional, easy to dim light in the water when a clear display. In recent years, new built-in timing bezel is no restrictions on the direction of rotation, because the control bezel crown at the water watch must be locked before. Such as the nations of the Aquatimer Cousteau, built-in protection timing bezel can be suggestive, but without additional holes on the case. Another advantage is no need to clean up after the water bezel case that the sediment within the joints. In fact, buy a dive watch 1000 may be only five people have the opportunity to dive to 50 meters of water, compared to the nominal figures, the more players who love the rotating bezel dripping when the crisp sound. Diving Ploprof Omega coaxial rotating outer case to the right side attached to the top of the orange button to control, can be either clockwise or counterclockwise rotation, which can be bi-directional rotating dive watch design of the outer ring are rare . In fact, there is nothing on the bezel can display their craft, but the Blancpain Fifty Series watch rotating bezel unique individual. Designers covered with sapphire crystal on top of the fluorescence scale (rather than ordinary high-tech ceramics), but also spent several years of effort in particular has developed a fluorescence scale adhesive material and metal bezel and sapphire bezel adhesive, and applied for a patent. PVD Rolex uses patented technology to fill rotating platinum bezel, the use of a blue light can be given a new light material, so that the triangle on the outer scale of zero indicates the deep sea can be seen at night or longer .
Deconstruction: luminous
Luminous Diving
All diving watches are equipped with eye-catching luminous pointer and scale, it is because deep-sea divers often in darkness, so dive watch pointer, scale or surface is usually coated with a fluorescent material, and deliberately enlarge the size of pointer and scale, the time to read it easier for users.
Early radium luminous material (Radiomir), because it contains too much radiation has been discontinued. Now the most commonly used luminescent materials are Super-LumiNova and tritium trachea. Super-LumiNova is a new material, which absorbs light in the gamma particles Chu, sustainable light 10-hours, but the intensity of light after a certain period will result in attenuation. Tritium in the night out (also called "gas lamp") is a large modern luminous technology leap. Trachea is the use of tritium Ball in the glorious tradition. Advantage is not only self-luminous, high brightness, and long life - life is said to be over 25 years. Principle is that the inner wall coated with phosphorescent material in the mineral tritium gas filled glass tube, B-ray excited by tritium reaction phosphor cold light, this light is not bright light and heat divergence, it will not burn and explode. B-ray tube can be cut off, as long as it is not broken tritium tube on the sound. Tritium does not need an external tracheal or external light source to provide energy reflection, can remain swatch and lasting light-emitting 10 to 20 years. Tritium watches the night out in the shell with the back cover are also mbmicrotec letters labeled 3H illumination, all the watches in the Boer pointer and scale, there are a tritium tube tomorrow night (including temperature and second hand). The only downside is that to do so, the pointer would be more heavy, especially second hand, this watch should have little impact travel time, in order to maintain a balance, watch the second hand Ball has a "long tail", or by two RR form a "tail flower." Panerai Radiomir effect is luminous dial markers and indicators by applying a layer of special coating to achieve, this coating is zinc sulphide, radium bromide and the new mixture of thorium. The invention and deployment of the Panerai is Florentine before compounds produced by the target and observation equipment is a major feature. Powerful glow makes the instrument completely dark environment in the borrowing may be the enemy without auxiliary lighting equipment found to illuminate itself.
