![]() Always been a seperate instrument with a few exceptions in the modern day. Even in the past when dive watches really were used, they didnt have depth meters. The seiko SKX, Citizen Promaster line, and Seiko Turtle are all there in the price range rated to be a dive watch. A built-in mechanical limiter ensures that neither the pressure membrane nor the depth gauge is damaged if the wearer dives deeper than the optimal range.Īfter creating a watch capable of measuring altitudes even on top of Mount Everest, the Bivouac 9000, Favre-Leuba proposes another cool, instrument-like timepiece, relying on the same technology, but not for the depths of the seas. That said there are a few watches you can actually dive with below 300. This module is crafted in-house, and based on a hand-wound calibre F元21 based on the Eterna Caliber 39 re-engineered by Favre-Leuba. Linear motion is transmitted to a gear mechanism and converted into a rotational movement. As the pressure increases, the capsule contracts. Every 10 metres (33 ft) of depth adds another bar. The back of the watch reveals the mechanism that makes this capable of displaying the depth: the aneroid capsule. ![]() The 3 o’clock sub-dial records the critical maximum depth reached (up to 120m) secured with a reset pusher at 4 o’clock. The centre hand of the Bathy 120 MemoDepth, coaxial to the hours and minutes, shows the current depth. ![]() The cool factor of this watch comes from the presence of not one but two scales to indicate the depth – the classic depth gauge is already a rare feature in modern watchmaking, so this makes this watch even more surprising. Following an already large collection of rugged and functional timepieces such as the Raider Harpoon or the impressive Bivouac 9000, Favre-Leuba introduced in 2018 another bold dive watch packing multi-functional punch and a cool (and rare) mechanical depth gauge, the Raider Bathy 120 MemoDepth.
