Diving Watch: A Reliable Partner for Deep-sea Exploration

1. The Close Relationship between Diving and Watches

Diving, as a special underwater activity, is full of challenges and unknowns. Its particularity is mainly reflected in the following aspects: First, diving is a special underwater activity that is directly related to human health and life safety, and is regarded as one of the most dangerous industries. In a humid, cold, dark, high-pressure and communication-difficult environment, divers need to face many potential risks. Secondly, diving activities require extremely high psychological qualities of divers, and poor psychological states may lead to diving accidents. Furthermore, there are strict regulations and requirements for equipment inspection, dressing and entering the water, surface cooperation work and diving operations during the diving process, and the slightest carelessness may cause danger.

In such a complex diving environment, time control is crucial. As a necessary tool for divers, diving watches are of irreplaceable importance. On the one hand, diving watches can accurately display time, help divers arrange diving time reasonably, and avoid dangers caused by too long time. For example, when working underwater, divers need to control the ascent speed according to time to prevent the occurrence of decompression sickness. On the other hand, diving watches usually have good waterproof performance and luminous indication functions, which can work normally in harsh underwater environments, allowing divers to read the time clearly in the dark. In addition, some professional diving watches also have functions such as anti-corrosion flexible straps, screw-in non-slip crowns and helium exhaust, providing divers with safer and more reliable protection. In short, diving watches play an important role in diving activities and are indispensable partners for divers.

2. Why diving watches need safety buckles

(I) Safety buckles ensure safe wearing

During diving, divers face various unknown risks and challenges. The existence of safety buckles is crucial for diving watches. It can ensure that the watch is firmly worn on the wrist during diving to prevent accidental falling off. For example, when doing intense underwater sports or encountering water flow impact, a watch without a safety buckle can easily slip off the wrist, which will not only cause divers to lose time reference, but also may cause serious safety hazards to diving activities.

The Oyster strap of Rolex diving weapon is equipped with an Oyster safety buckle to prevent the buckle from accidentally opening. This design provides great safety protection for divers during diving activities. The double-press three-fold safety buckle of the Citizen PROMASTER series 200m professional diving watch can also prevent the watch from accidentally falling off during diving, bringing a reliable sense of security to the wearer.

(II) Safety buckle enhances durability

The design of the safety buckle makes it more durable and can withstand various pressures and impacts during diving. In a diving environment, the watch will be subject to various forces such as water pressure, water flow impact, and pulling during diver's activities. The safety buckle is usually made of strong materials and a special structural design, which can effectively resist these forces and extend the service life of the diving watch.

For example, the folding safety buckle is a common type of safety buckle, which is usually only used in some mid-to-high-end watches. It has a double safety device, and the upper safety buckle needs to be closed after buckling, which effectively prevents the watch buckle from accidentally opening and falling off during exercise. At the same time, it also has a length fine-tuning function to ensure that divers can get the most comfortable tightness. This kind of buckle is relatively expensive because of its excellent performance in durability.

In short, the safety buckle is an indispensable part of a diving watch. It not only ensures the safe wearing of the diving watch during diving, but also enhances the durability of the watch, providing reliable protection for divers' underwater activities.

III. Features of the FEELNEVER 1809 movement

(I) Advantages of the fully automatic movement

The FEELNEVER 1809 fully automatic movement has remarkable accuracy and stability. Its accuracy ensures that divers can accurately grasp the time in an underwater environment, and can provide reliable data whether calculating the diving time or judging the timing of ascent. For example, in actual tests, the daily error of the movement can be controlled within a very small range, which can meet the divers' high requirements for time accuracy.

In terms of stability, even in the face of complex situations such as water pressure changes, water flow impact, and vibration caused by body movement during diving, the FEELNEVER 1809 movement can still maintain a stable operating state. This is due to its exquisite manufacturing process and high-quality material selection. Compared with traditional movements, it can better adapt to the special requirements of the diving environment and provide reliable time display for diving watches.

(II) Compatibility of movement and diving watch

The FEELNEVER 1809 movement is perfectly combined with the diving watch in terms of waterproofness and pressure resistance, fully meeting the special needs of diving activities. In terms of waterproof performance, the movement has undergone special sealing treatment, which can effectively prevent water intrusion and ensure normal operation in an underwater environment of 1000M.

In terms of pressure resistance, the structural design of the FEELNEVER 1809 movement can withstand huge water pressure. When divers dive to a certain depth, the water pressure will increase sharply, but the movement can easily cope with this pressure with its sturdy structure and reasonable internal layout. For example, in the test simulating the deep-sea environment, even if it is subjected to pressure equivalent to 1000M water depth, the movement can still maintain accurate travel time, providing reliable time guarantee for divers.

In addition, the movement also has good corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of seawater. In diving activities, watches are exposed to seawater for a long time and are prone to corrosion. The FEELNEVER 1809 movement uses special anti-corrosion materials, which effectively extends the service life of the diving watch. At the same time, the low power consumption design of the movement also enables it to run continuously for a long time during diving, meeting the needs of divers for long-term underwater activities.

IV. Excellent performance of 1000-meter waterproof

(I) Guarantee of deep waterproof

The 1000-meter waterproof function is of vital importance for diving activities. In the field of diving, depth often means greater challenges and risks. A diving watch with a 1000-meter waterproof function allows divers to use it with peace of mind in deeper waters without worrying about the watch being damaged by water pressure.

For professional divers, they may need to conduct diving operations at a greater depth, and a 1000-meter waterproof diving watch provides them with a reliable time reference and safety guarantee. For example, when conducting deep-sea exploration or underwater engineering operations, divers can rely on such a watch to accurately grasp the time and ensure the smooth progress of the diving plan.

For ordinary diving enthusiasts, although they may not often conduct ultra-deep diving, owning a diving watch with a 1000-meter waterproof function will undoubtedly make them more confident and at ease in diving activities. Whether diving in deeper waters or doing some challenging diving activities, you can feel the reliable protection brought by the watch.

(II) Analysis of waterproof technology

The diving watch achieves 1000 meters of waterproof mainly relying on the following technical principles and processes.

First, the case structure is the key. High-strength materials such as titanium alloy and stainless steel are usually used to ensure that it can withstand huge water pressure. For example, the Hamilton Khaki Navy series deep diving 1000-meter diving watch, the case is made of titanium alloy, and the silicone strap helps to reduce the overall weight while being able to withstand the high pressure of the deep sea.

Secondly, the screw-in non-slip crown plays an important role. The crown is a "channel" connecting the internal movement space with the external environment. The screw-in design can significantly improve the waterproof performance. The crown connection of professional diving watches will add a waterproof rubber ring made of rubber. When the crown is tightened, the water is tightly isolated from the watch.

Furthermore, the helium exhaust function is an important configuration for professional diving watches above 1000 meters. The principle is that helium molecules are smaller than water molecules. When the watch worn by the diver is under high pressure underwater for a long time, the helium molecules will penetrate into the waterproof watch and fill it with high-pressure helium. Once it returns to the surface, if the high-pressure helium in the watch cannot be discharged in a short time, the watch will explode due to the high pressure. For example, the Rolex Deepsea Challenger (Experimental) has a waterproof depth of 12,000 meters and plays an important role in deep-sea exploration.

In addition, sealing technology is also indispensable. Special sealing processes are used in parts such as the watch mirror and bottom cover to ensure that the watch will not get water in the deep-sea environment. For example, the TAG Heuer PROFESSIONAL 1000 SUPERDIVER has a helium exhaust valve on the side of the case to protect the watch from exhausting the gas generated by water pressure in the watch when the wearer completes the diving mission, thereby avoiding damage to the watch body. At the same time, the screw-in bottom cover and the soft rubber gasket flexibly seal the gap under pressure to provide a long-lasting and tight waterproof effect.

5. Comprehensive value of diving watches

Diving watches play a vital role in diving activities and have irreplaceable comprehensive value.

First of all, from the functional point of view, diving watches have a variety of practical functions, which provide great convenience for divers. The anti-corrosion and flexible strap can fit the wrist tightly during underwater activities while resisting the corrosion of seawater; the screw-in non-slip crown effectively prevents water from entering the movement through the crown; the helium exhaust valve ensures the safety of the watch when returning to the surface under high pressure in the deep sea; the luminous indicator allows divers to read the time clearly in the dark underwater; the rotating bezel can accurately remind the diving time and the remaining oxygen storage. The synergy of these functions makes the diving watch a powerful assistant for divers underwater.

Secondly, safety is one of the core values ​​of diving watches. During diving, any small mistake may have serious consequences. The deep waterproof function of the diving watch, especially the 1000-meter waterproof, provides reliable safety protection for divers. Even in extremely deep waters, the diving watch can work normally and will not be damaged by water pressure. At the same time, the design of the safety buckle ensures that the watch is firmly worn on the wrist during diving to prevent accidental falling off. In addition, the helium exhaust function can prevent the watch from exploding due to the inability to exhaust high-pressure helium, further improving the safety of diving.

Finally, reliability is also an important feature of diving watches. Diving watches usually use high-quality materials and exquisite manufacturing processes to maintain stable performance in harsh diving environments. For example, the FEELNEVER 1809 fully automatic movement has precision and stability, and can accurately display the time during diving. Moreover, diving watches undergo rigorous testing and certification, such as ISO 6425 certification, to ensure that they meet high standards in terms of waterproofness, anti-magnetic, and temperature resistance. All of these make diving watches a reliable piece of equipment for divers.

In summary, diving watches have become an indispensable piece of equipment for divers with their functionality, safety, and reliability.
