How Deep Can You Go

My Sinn U2 is factory rated to 2000 meters. Any challengers?

The deepest that my watch can go is 1220m. At 10 meters, I'll already be dead

However, my Seamaster Pro Chrono diver has pushers that work up to 1000m, guaranteed by Omega.

I wore my 116718 to the local baths, I sunk.

I did swim to the bottom and crawled along at a "huge depth" of 15 feet until my ears squeaked and I decided that was enough.

God help me at 30ft never mind 2000ft.

Why should a diving watch have a date? Will you be under that long?

No, but it will be used as a daily watch as well. 2000 meters, it may only see the depth of a 10 foot swimming pool but it is good for bragging rights.

Have a look t Bell & Ross , i think their one goes down to
11,000 ft .
Its oil filled so their is no worry about it imploding , as liquid cannot be compressed.

The Bell & Ross Professional Hydromax is rated at 11000M. It's not automatic, but quartz. They achieve this by filling the watch with oil. Since 98% of all divers are not going to go down more than 33 meters or so, it's almost kind of funny that there are so many watches rated with such high water resistance. You need a little bit of a margin of safety because of the difference between static WR and the obvious fact that divers move and therefore put a little extra stress on the case by doing so. But I don't think too many people are going to need 11,000 meters. Still, it gives you bragging rights. . .

I remember an orange faced watch rated for something like 12,387 meters or the like, or maybe feet. But it was an off number like that.

It is actually 11000 meters, or 33000 feet!
The Bell and Ross Hydromax has the deepest rating of any watch ever sold to the public.

Breitling makes quite a few tough divers with high ratings.
