rolex waterroof watch to 1000 feet preowned

These shrouded beauties are functional, iconic, massive and yet oddly charming. We just gave you a run down on why you need a Tuna in your life earlier this week, so we had to mention them here.

Armored Beast: Seiko Emperor Tuna SBDK011 This German-made masterpiece starts at $4,590. Apart from that, this watch is also made out of Tegimented (hardened to 1200 vickers) German Submarine steel, has their Ar dehumidifying technology, a captive safety bezel (push down and turn) and is powered by a modified Top-grade Valjoux 7750, called the SZ02, which converts the standard 30-minute counter to a much more useful 60. You might be thinking… does this guy know anything? You can’t start a chronograph under water let alone at 1000m! Well, you can with the Sinn U1000, because they don’t mess around at Sinn. How are you going to time how long it takes to make its rounds? With the Sinn U1000 of course. Here’s a scenario: you’re 1000 meters deep and there is a giant sea monster guarding a sunken treasure you seek to plunder. Swiss-made, ETA powered, not bad for $1,500. It also works by pushing it down and turning it, a Squale innovation back in the day. The coolest throwback detail though is the bakelite bezel, which has a look you don’t see anymore. The design is a carry over from Squale’s watches from the 60’s, which is clear in the barrel shape and applied markers. All kidding aside, the Squale 101 is a gorgeous watch out of water that you can take to deep depths if needed. When you’re way down below sea level where there is little to no light, you want to make a good impression, so having a really stylish watch will help you out. Some have probably only been tested in a lab setting, which get you a number, but in an ideal circumstance. *We, like you, have to take their word for it that these watches live up to the water resistances they claim. As per usual, we kept an eye on their price tags, throwing in a few good values along they way, but made allowances for some pricier models too. Given that these are fairly specialized and complicated watches, their prices can get high quickly. Not because we plan on going down there, but because we get a kick out of knowing our watches could. So, today we’re taking a look at the Beasts of the Deep: 15 Watches that go 1000m and beyond. These are generally large watches, with aggressive lines and colors, thick cases mounted with sapphires thicker than many watches. The watch designs then also take on a life of their own. After all, if a brand claims they can go down to the deepest depths, they better live up to it. By the nature of what they have to do, these watches have been aggressively engineered, some with patented tech, using the best gaskets, thick crystals, high quality steels, and are then manufactured with exacting quality. Climates so hostile, few have ever been to them. That they are built to survive in climates that our bodies cannot without special equipment if at all. There is something very appealing about knowing these watches will far exceed our daily needs, and often our most extreme needs. But that doesn’t make the allure of really over built, tool dive watches with absurd depth ratings any less powerful. Heck, many of us rarely even go for a swim in your average pool. Most people will never dive down 300m under the ocean.
