Divers Watches
Christopher Ward is a fanatical scuba-diver as is Philip their Swiss trained manufacturing partner so you can imagine how important an addition to the CWL collection is our first divers watch. The brief was quite simple: Create the ultimate professional divers watch that marries extreme condition functionality with exquisite good looks. The quality of this watch will be understood by all those familiar with all good things horological (the Swiss Ronda calibre 715 movement, the additional thickness of the sapphire glass, the screw-down case back with the engraved No Decompression Table - perhaps a world first!, the 2-piece uni-directional bezel and Superluminova markings, etc) which means the Kingfisher is water resistant to an astonishing 30 atmospheres/1000 feet, but to understand its beauty as well, just look at it. It's enough to make a grown man dive!

Diving watch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A diving watch is a watch designed for underwater diving that features, as a minimum, a water resistance greater than 10 ATM, the equivalent of 300ft (100m). Some diving watches have a water resistance greater than 2000ft.
Diving watches can be analog or digital. Analog diving watches will often feature a rotating bezel, that allows for an easier reading of elapsed time from a specific point. This is used to compute the length of a dive. (See Tachymeter.) The bezel can be turned so the wearer can align the zero on the bezel with the watch's seconds or minutes hand. After a period of time passes, the elapsed time can be read off the bezel. This saves the wearer having to perform the subtraction that would be necessary if the watch's regular dial was used. It's also much easier to read this larger dial while underwater. Many companies offer highly functional diving watches for optimum level of performance during an underwater dive.
Digital dive watches usually perform this function by use of a standard stop-watch function. Digital dive watches may also feature a depth gauge and logging features.
Many contemporary sports watches owe their design to diving watches.
Divers watches are solidly constructed, have large clear displays and many have additional features aimed specifically at diving making them ideal for professional and recreational dive use.
A divers watch allows a diver to monitor their bottom time often with a one way bezel to show elapsed time.
