The spotlighted diving watches

These tests include a condensation test which is carried out before and after any

other test-the watch is placed on a heated plate at 40-45C and left for 10-20 minutes until it reaches this temperature itself. The a drop of water at room temperature (18-25C) is applied to the crystal face, and left there for 1 minute before being wiped off. If any condensation forms on the underside of the crystal, the watch fails, and is immediately discounted from any further tests.

In order to become a diver's watch, contenders also have to descend below their rated depth by a quarter again in still water, to allow for the varying densities of depth caused by weather variations and the fact that seawater is between 2% and 5% denser than fresh water. They will also be subjected to a thermal shock test, being placed in water at 40C for an hour, then immediately into a container of water at 5C, again, for an hour, then back into a 40C bath for another hour. The longest test is one in which the watch is held 30cm underwater for 50 hours-more than two days. For this reason, most diver's watches are made from steel or titanium, with ceramics and some plastics now becoming more common.

Other requirements are more to do with the practicalities of taking a watch under water. All diver's watches are required to have a time pre-selecting device; the ability for the diver to see at a glance how long he has been underwater. In an analogue watch, this usually takes the form of a unilateral bezel-a bezel that can only move one way. Bezels such as this must have five minute intervals marked on them clearly, and have a scale of 60 minutes. The 60/0 minute mark must be visible on the bezel at 25m below the surface, as well as the time itself, so digital watches must have a backlit screen, and analogue watches need luminescent hands that are distinct from each other. They also need an indication that they are working, both at 25 metres and in total darkness, so analogue watches will usually have a 'running' second hand which has a luminescent tip.

With the help of internet, many online stores are selling bran-new and second-hand watches of outstanding quality at competitive price. They offer a wide range of watches of all famous brands like Longines Watches, Omega, Louis Vuitton Watches, Tag Heuer, Breitling, Oris Watches, Raymond Weil, Jaeger LeCoultre, Chanel, TW Steel, Longines, Panerai and so on.
