“And I’ve had several dive watches (even one rated to 1,000 meters) leak after less than an hour at recreational diving depths.” Yikes! 😳 Can you say which brand/model that was? Were you able to figure out a root cause for the failure, or was it just a 🤷🏻♂️?
The only watch I have ever taken diving is my 1971 Bulova Deep Sea Chronograph. While neither of us dive any more, it was an essential tool for bottom timing on my (admittedly very few) dives below 60 feet. It is still running strong even if I’m not.

Beautifully written Jason. I share your love of dive watches and dive chronographs. I just need to figure out how to get underwater more often!
Man I loved that photo of your Doxa. There’s something about a vintage one compared to a new shiny Doxa that does it for me.
The conclusion in that last sentence...
Jason, I've just got one word for you - Word👊
Jason,
Another great piece!
