5 things every dive watch should have
- Unidirectional rotating dive bezel
- At least water resistance of 20 Bar - DIN 8306/ISO6425 sets the following requirements for a dive watch, all of which it must meet: pressure-resistant to 20 Bar or more
- Water-resistant metal or rubber strap so the strap does not get damaged
- Luminous material on the hands and indices so the time can be read even in the dark
- Screw-down crown
Our Seiko SNJ028P1
All of these criteria are met by our watch of the week, as we will explain below. The Seiko watch has a black silicone strap, as well as a black case made of plastic and stainless steel. The crown and case back are screw-down. The bezel can be rotated in one direction and has a gold-colored rim. The dial is black with fine baton hour markers and larger dot markers. The hands and indices are coated with LumiBrite. In addition to the analogue time, the chronograph also displays the digital time. This wristwatch from the Prospex series has a solar movement with a power reserve of 6 months and a remaining power indicator. The watch is also water resistant to 20 bar.
