diving watch

Waterproof wrist clock

A diving watch is a wristwatch designed to withstand underwater pressure, typically water-resistant to at least 100 meters.

Features usually include a unidirectional rotating bezel to track elapsed time, luminous hands and markers for low-light visibility, and a robust case with screw-down crown.
