What makes a professional diving watch?
Diving watches are currently quite popular among men, with well-known brands such as Rolex, Omega, and Blancpain all launching highly sought-after dive timepieces. However, not every water-resistant watch is classed as a dive watch; it must meet certain international standards to be considered a proper professional diving watch. Today, let us discuss the standards required for professional dive watches.
Swiss International Standards for Dive Watches
1. Safety device for controlling dive time
NIHS standards stipulate that dive watches must be equipped with a safety device to control dive time. Furthermore, to prevent reading errors, this device must also feature a design that prevents accidental rotation. It is best for the watch to be fitted with a rotating inner bezel for timing dives with detailed minute graduations, and the mechanism controlling the rotating bezel should also feature a corresponding safety start design.
2. Clarity and legibility
The time, rotating inner bezel dive timing, movement operation status, and other indicators must be clearly legible even in the dim environment of the deep sea. This distance (the straight-line distance between the watch and the eyes) is usually set at 25 cm. Among these, luminescent treatment is the most commonly used solution by major watchmakers.
3. Water resistance and resistance to seawater salt corrosion
To ensure that the core components and strap of the watch do not change when immersed in salt water, case components such as the waterproof gaskets, case back, and crystal of the dive watch should be suitably adjusted, with a common approach being increased thickness. NIHS standards specify that the case of a dive watch should achieve a water resistance depth of over 100 metres.
4. Magnetic resistance, shock resistance, and temperature variation resistance
Professional dive watches are all fitted with magnetic shielding devices, because the highly sensitive balance spring is likely to be affected by magnetic fields, compromising its accuracy. Anti-magnetic protection devices protect the movement from magnetic fields, shocks, and temperature changes, thereby ensuring accurate timekeeping. In addition, the watch must undergo temperature variation testing, and only when no condensation is found can it be considered a good dive watch.
5. External force endurance
The watch attachment components must be able to withstand external forces of up to 200N.

Review:
◆ As a masterpiece among diving watches, the Rolex Black Submariner is definitely a leader in its class. If you want a real diving watch, you might want to consider it;
◆ The dial size of 40MM is moderate, making it suitable for all wrist sizes. It can be paired with both formal and casual wear. Compared to the black or white of ordinary watches, the emerald green dial of the Rolex Green Submariner is a colour that is relatively difficult for most people to pull off, but it is also a very show-stopping colour, suitable for those who pursue individuality.
◆ The price remains consistent with the previous selling price of V6, and it is also equipped with A2836 and SA3135 movements, ensuring accurate timekeeping and bringing everyone a perfect timing experience.
Diving watches are a favourite among many men, but before purchasing a dive watch, you must check whether it meets the above standards, otherwise you will be the one who loses out.
