In Response To: What watches can beat seamaster's max dive depth? ()

IWC GST Aquatimer: 2000M rating (nt)

: Hi everyone. I guess we all love the Omega
: seamaster (by the way, excellent site
: Derek--I don't think anyone can top it). Now
: I have a question for all the watch
: afficienados out there. Both the Omega SM
: pro and Rolex Sub, aside from being
: beautiful pieces of jewelry, were actually
: designed to be used by professional divers,
: who actually needed to rely on the
: ruggedness of the watch for their very
: lives. The 1000 foot max depth of both
: watches easily beats that of most watches I
: know, with the exception of two: the Rolex
: seadweller, and the colt superocean pro
: which both can go down to approx. 4000 feet
: (which is actually silly as the only time
: you are going down nearly 4/5 of a mile is
: in a submarine). Are these two watches the
: only 'super diving watches' or are there any
: other watches that can beat the seamaster?
