These Rare Dive Watches Were Designed to Help Save Lives

Whether it's getting a reading on depth, determining the correct gas mixture, or recording time spent underwater, accurate calculations can mean the difference between a successful dive and a potentially fatal one Because the stakes are so high, the majority of contemporary divers leave little to chance and rely on digital dive computers for both technical and basic dives Not all that long ago divers put their faith in dive watches with specially designed dials and bezels.

These tools, used in conjunction with depth charts, helped divers measure their no-decompression time as well as their decompression time for technical dives More than just being a looker, the dive watch still has the capacity to work as a trusty companion for technical dives From the seller: Housed in a high-pressure one-piece 38mm steel case, these watches are a true rarity, and likewise, adorned by collectors.

Not only is this unique to Doxa watches, but combined with the rare orange dial and solid condition, this piece is a great find for those looking for a unique vintage dive watch with decompression markings. . Source
