This is a deep-sea diver watch. And when I say deep-sea, I mean deep sea.. This watch is water resistant to thirty-five thousand feet. Do me a favor and send me a postcard if you get down there, okay?
All kidding aside, TechnoMarine makes serious diver’s watches. On this watch, the diving features include a ratcheting steel bezel with oversized black numerals, luminous oversized hands and a scratch-resistant Mineral Glass crystal.
The movement type is Quartz. For the inquisitive, quartz timepieces direct a charge to a resonating gem. This results in the crystal oscillating at a well-known frequency, allowing the watch to track extremely precise time. This is in contrast to old, mechanical watches that marked time with a complex contraption of gears and springs. As you might imagine, the modern mechanisms are much more accurate.
