Sporty watch is bound to lead the fashion trend , personalized in the intensified life, diving watch with its rugged housing , the ability and the depth of water sports personality profile to attract more and more modern . I always look forward to diving watches reveal why so much charisma , and occasionally wondering how this works. After long-term comparison and observation, I concluded that most of the dive watches modern invisible followed the rules . Despite many exceptions , but the rules outline the contours shift the diving watches have a clear picture .
Rules of a Case
For the diving watch , the water is the most critical case for structural design . Diving is proud of the outstanding waterproof structure , its peculiarities is the case , the shape and structure . In the early twenties had begun exploring a number of brand waterproof structure , after all, was able to watch with waterproof function is handful . The structure of the water was only required to use the watch as swimming , so the structure and design is relatively modern dive watches appear not mature enough .
However , due to technological advances and bold designer watches in the late twenties still design a representative waterproof structure, in which case most famous is the two-tier structure . In fact, the principle of two-tier structure is to redesign the existing watch a good waterproof case . At that time, the most well-known brands Rolex and Omega Manufacturing Marine Manufacturing of Pre-Oyster adopt a double- case design, but form the structure are quite different . Rolex uses a circular shell, while the Omega was chosen square shell structure . Unfortunately, this design is not ideal waterproof structure, Rolex introduced the late twenties century under the influence of water-proof shell structure 11 " Oyster " case ! It can be said modern diving watches are constantly exploring and previous design based on continuous improvement , and oyster -like structure into the later case the major brands produced Diving pioneer shell structure .
Thus , modern diving the most significant features of the watch are more or less similar is the case are manufactured using one . Through strong and professional design shell structure , while improving the back cover and the crown office , after sealing , as the dive deeper , more durable dive case . Depth of water over 300 meters of the dive watches are used most of the locking screw locking crown and screw the bottom cover , the three most likely to feed through for the site were made, be assured that reduce gap , increase The role of sealing effect .
Therefore, the first diving watches together to create one similarity is that the massive case and screw locking crown, screw locked back cover of the structure .
Rule 2 Shoulder
Shoulders do not remember the first structure is the brand which pioneered , but still able to see whether it is formal or sporty watches often use the shoulder of the structure . A friend asked me who shoulder the biggest role? I was surprised to tell the watch with many luxury watches friend 's shoulder is decorated with the current role .
Several days later , a friend who once taught to finally point out that my fatal mistake. Indeed, the shoulder ! As the name suggests , it is to protect the crown from touching the " shoulders . " For the dive watch , this design is more practical and effective , you can imagine the screw locking crown despite pressure than normal -in the crown is more durable and waterproof , but still in use will be offset by friction or external forces which occur Injury occurred . Shoulder structure very effectively protects the crown from the impact of external forces , in particular paragraph in the movement is the most common , it is commonplace in the dive watches .
Therefore, the general features of diving watch is the second location in the design of the crown has a protective effect of the shoulder.
Rule three crown
No doubt , did Case structure, the second time I also mentioned separately to the crown , the title will be listed as a major one . Because the water structure is not just only a waterproof screw -type locking structure . Early in the fifties or so , the U.S. started trying occasions a " cork " stylesheet crown architecture , structure , and unfortunately Zhe Yang De Bu Neng Shen Du waterproof protection , in particular, the diving deeper Gainian Duiyuzhuiqiu for people who they would choose Gengyou Personality, more type design.
In addition to locking screw -type crown structure , Panerai is the first of its kind and unique to create a generation of one of the pioneers . Panerai designed the original bridge rod locked crown structure , and in 1953 obtained a patent . Bridge rod locked crown structure is designed to be a special crown locking device , the structure has the makings of modern technology , then this crown will be installed in the early 40 's waterproof Panerai elevated to 200 km Feet or more ! The modern Panerai Luminor series dive watches are the functions of waterproof 300 meters , while the matter is after 400 meters on the occasion of testing . This device has become one of the Peinahaite some signs .
In addition, Cartier 's PASHA series and Hamilton 's Army watch , etc. , in the original plain crown, another addition to the design of a screw -type protection of the crown , screw case this envelope in addition to their crown Inferior race to improve the waterproofing ability to watch after all, a unique design.
In any case, in fact different crown structures are the most prone to water ingress protection , and thus, almost all of the diving watches more than three designs will be chosen , particularly the structure of screw crown masses !
Rule four bezel
All true professional diving bezel almost all the design using one-way rotation , and watch turning circle must be counterclockwise ! Used in the diving watch ring , every minute, every five minutes of the scale are able to clear ! This design is based on 11 of course it is in accordance with ISO 1981 the requirements for the dive watch , dive watch as ISO international standards . Scale in order to increase the watch in the dark circle in the identification of the deep sea , often configured in its 12 o'clock position , a luminous point , to record start time.
When the rotating ring diving can hear " blah , " the voice of rotation , will form a large circle luminous point of targeting the location of the start time minute hand , unidirectional rotating bezel is also to prevent the clockwise rotation of the errors caused by time Reading , quite practical . Many players love the watch on the dive is actually part of the one-way rotating diving bezel can be obsessive , with a rotating bezel can watch nature more fun !
General professional dive watches are used external bezel design , the IWC Aquatimer Cousteau ingenious design is a unique one-way rotating bezel with built-in time , so the design was to protect the watch after the water without Joint clean-up within the case bezel sediment . Due to the unique character of the design is loved the world , so many other brands have followed suit.
For gamers , a dive watch , in addition to compare the depth of the diving interesting concept , in fact, is really playable one-way rotating bezel that . Because we all know that we can not go very deep deep place nominal .
Rule five watch Mirror
In the deep sea , as the visiting hours but is responsible for isolation between the case and the water watch is a mirror . Imagine the depth of the seabed in 300 m , the watch will mirror how much pressure to bear . Through scientific calculation , diving watch mirror and case thickness is a certain percentage , so we often find that the deeper diving watch , it 's case and watch mirrors are thicker !
As technology advances , almost all of the modern watch with a sapphire crystal all of this material not only in the ordinary occasions more wear-resistant hard , but also after the anti- reflective coating on both sides inside and outside the process , ensuring the role of increased permeability . The so-called AR , to put it simple point is increased visibility , especially in the sea. Such as the Breitling Superocean Steelfish X-Plus uses a 3.7 mm thick double- coated sapphire crystal , and only with sufficient thickness to withstand the watch mirrors the pressure from the deep sea , just 3.7 mm thick long beyond an ordinary The thickness of the movement .
Therefore, the rules of five diving watch is a watch with sufficient thickness mirror.
Rule six Luminous
Dial and the luminous bezel divers in deep water diving is the survival of the most important features, one of the light in the dark capabilities necessary functions into one diving watch . On ordinary watches often used the fluorescent materials to improve night reading Neng Li , and Duiyu dive watch is not only required for the luminous features and functionality of materials and Yeguang good or bad will it Chansheng to Guan Qian Shuiyuan critical impact . Therefore , most modern diving watches to scale , gauge needles are designed to become a large scale and oversized clock minute hand display . In addition to large scale gauge needles and luminous , the most important is the rotating bezel can be zero on the scale of the luminous start , the location of the luminous display watch for diving is critical .
Luminous materials development is also changing with the times , the early radium luminous material (Radiomir), because of its contained excessive radiation was discontinued , replaced by deuterium (Trituin Luminor). For the human body , safety is most important , in addition to reading to ensure a good night , most of luminous material used type of Luminova afterglow luminescent material . Of course, the intensity of light after a certain period will have a decay .
In the luminous material application and design, Ball opened up a new path. Ball control watch used as a pure B radioactive tritium tritium , the inner wall coated with fluorescent material , the use of tritium B -ray excited luminescence , B rays can not penetrate the wall , as long as the tritium tubes are not broken on the sound . This light design than the previous two brightness and luminous persistence much stronger science and technology makes the modern technology has made leaps luminous .
As for the diving watch , regardless of what kind of luminous materials or design, but the luminous display is essential.
Seven row helium plant rule
Professional diving watches for technical issues to be resolved is one of access to deep water in the pressure to squeeze into the form of the watch after the release of gas , because when the watch due to internal pressure is higher than before the water will result in case of external damage fragile Department . Study , watch as the submarine left the high pressure will be due when the internal gas decompression and dealt with, and lead to the release or broken glass . To solve this problem , the depth of diving watches specially designed exhaust valve .
The first exhaust valve , or as rows of helium valve is with the French in 1967 Rolex Comex diving expedition co- developed . The precision of the exhaust valve functions with automatic row helium , when the dive watch from high-voltage submarine will change under the pressure surrounding the internal pressure of the gas discharge certain . Rolex Sea Dweller in the later series are widely used , and water capacity of incredible 3,000 meters Breitling Sea Wolf series has also adopted this classic design . Omega Seamaster series of well-known is the 10 o'clock position designed a special crown , in fact, this is a manual exhaust valve . Of course, I always understood that the design although some superfluous , but after all cool , right?
The nations of the Aquatimer Cousteau 2000 once again demonstrated its independence in the diving area of special line of the watch 's personality, it is a material produced by the titanium case , the use of composite materials to build a unique patent -free valve structure , so divers can reach 2000 meters Aquatimer Cousteau actually no row with the helium valve structure , indeed astounding.
Despite the row of helium device is not essential for each dive watch design , such as can dive up to 500 meters Breitling no row helium device, while the Omega 300 meters in the diving section on the watch a row of specially designed helium valve Undeniably, however, to a depth of professional diving watches , this device is very important.
