What Brand is Your Dive watch???

[PaulChristenson]

I use an old Soviet Issue Automatic Dive Watch with the Rolex copied stem, good to 20 atms

If anyone is interested, I found out that they have started to sell them on eBay for about $40US...

$500.
Self-winding, BB(before batteries), in other words, it gains in value over the years, not loses value the minute it's purchased.
Appraised and regularly tuned by Ron Gordan, watchmaker, Fifth Ave, Manhattan.

St Moritz:
As promised, in the eternal search for a good dive watch, I recently received a St Moritz "Zero". My first impression is that the all black timepiece with steel back and rubber band is extremely light and comfortable. The battery operated quartz movement seems very accurate as expected. There is a screw down crown, but of unusual design with very small external thread. The bezel has large, grippy indents and is easy to turn, thank goodness. It is unidirectional. The rubber band is flexible and wears well, very soft and light on the wrist. Sofar, this seems to be a good knockabout watch for very little money. The face does not have numbers but luminescent dots. The visibility is good and the phosphors work best after being hit with a beam of light. Not as good as Luminox but better than most. I'll let you know if it's waterproof.

Speaking of Zodiac, they went out of business in 1977. It was the first attempt to market a "people's" dive watch in the US. Macho looking. I have a brand new Ladies Zodiac Sea Wolf in my large pile of dive watches. It is very small and elegant, all stainless. The stem broke the first day when setting the time and. for various reasons, has never been used. Got lots of others, many work fine, I just don't like them. I always thought the early watches, like the Zodiac, were a joke, but maybe I was wrong.

I hope you will like it, it is a great diving watch.

4000 feet???? What gas do you breathe at that depth?
Citizen Duplex

St. Moritz Momentum M1 with stainless band.

For $100 you can't beat the look and quality. It's a bit heavy, but you get used to it. Good everyday watch too. very sturdy and classy. Rolex look-alike.

I always dive with my Baby-G (shock) on my right hand and my Suunto Mosquito on my left. Love them both!
