Will the watches be able to survive deep sea immersion past their rated depth?

THE EVOLUTION OF DIVER’S WATCHES

Scroll

In 1983, Seiko diver’s watches provedtheir outstanding water resistance through the test.

耐壓性能遠遠超過1,062m

In May of 1983, two Professional Diver’s 600ms were mounted on the Shinkai  2000, a research submersible used by JAMSTEC (Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology). The watch was originally intended for use up to 600 meters, yet the timepiece withstood water pressure at a depth of 1062 meters. The watch’s legibility, precision, and exterior remained unscathed, continuing to strengthen its credibility.
