Your watch may be water-resistant, but trust us, you do not want to take the same watch when you dive. And why not? Well for one thing, your watch’s material is not made to resist the corrosive effects of saltwater, and another thing, your watch probably doesn’t have a luminous dial that’s bright enough to be seen clearly when under the sea. The Angular Momentum Dive-Tec/500 Watch has all these qualities, making it the perfect watch to bring with you when exploring the underwater world.
It has a 46mm-wide, 17mm-thick case made from Staybrite 1.4435 NCu steel, which makes it more resilient to corrosion and discoloration, which are common effects of saltwater on steel. Its sapphire crystal back is sealed using a unique gasket, which provides better water resistance than screw-down back cases. Plus, it’s bright, luminous dials make it easy to see even when the light under water is very little.
