Seiko Divers Watch - For The Aquatic Adventure

Dive watches have to be able to withstand a lot. Dives of up to 900+ feet require specially engineered time pieces to be able to withstand the high pressures present. Many manufacturers have come up with numerous solutions for the problem. However, one watch that has stood out from the rest is the Seiko divers watch. The company was formed in 1881 with a single watch shop keeper, and ever since Seiko has become synonymous with quality watches.

Seiko Kinetic Divers Watch

The wonderful thing about Seiko is that it produces everything from the oil and face decor to the gears and watch casing. The Kinetic watch line was developed in 1986. The main idea behind it was to power the watch from the natural movement of the wearer. This is carried out by a pendulum that rotates with walking and as it does this, it spins a pinion gear upwards of a hundred thousand RPM which in turn charge that battery that powers the watch.

Seiko has also developed the technology to withstand underwater conditions. The Seiko divers watch combines a stainless steel body construction with special seals and gaskets that withstand the conditions present at depths encountered while diving. These watches can weigh upwards of half a pound, but can survive depths of 300 meters (900 feet).

Dive Watch Technology

There are a number of elements that require consideration in dive watches. The crystal covering the dials, the strap, the external elements such as the crown and so on. Legibility is also important, as light conditions quickly deteriorate once the diver reaches any real depth. The watch needs to be able to handle differing atmospheric conditions, including helium environments and more.

When the basic elements and features are met, the style and appearance comes next. Seiko has always been at the forefront of new technologies and design. Seiko has pioneered some of the newest technologies in watches. Some of their best dive watches are part of the Seiko Professional Diver Collection. These can handle at saturation diving and go to depths of at least 200 meters. They feature special made Seiko gaskets.

The Marine Master

The Marine Master is able to go to depths of 300 meters. It has rubber straps to reduce its weight. Visibility is possible at near low light levels with the watches lumibrite features. The face of the watch is made of a crystal protection known as Hardlex. This also has an anti reflective coating. To ensure a super tough seal against pressure and water, the crown can be tightened. All in all, the watch is well liked with nothing but rave reviews and its reliable timing and accuracy.

Seiko Black Monster

Being one of the best dive watches by many divers standards, the Seiko Black sits above the rest. Its many stylish and proven features have made it what it is today. The perfect accessory for all divers.
