As summer approaches and temperatures rise, many people are planning when to hit the beach for surfing and diving. TUDOR Clair de Rose M35500-0004 For a diver, a professional diver's watch is essential. However, we can't just rely on the general waterproof watch to dive, because the standards of professional diving platforms are far more than waterproof.
The Tudor watch was one of the early diving watches used by the French Navy. In 1954, Tudor introduced its first diving watch, numbered 7922, which was almost identical to Rolex's first Submariner in 1953, as the series was also named. This diving watch was just launched by the French Navy, and the two worked together for 25 years. During this period, Tudor supplied the French Navy with many models of diving watches, which also witnessed the important development of Tudor diving watches.
Early Royal rudder submarines generally adopted the Rolex Diver design style, the Royal rudder Ranger M79950-0002 and other Mercedes needle and point scales. You can even find some rudder 7922 in the case of the historic watch, as in the case of the Rolex 6538, and the bottom cover of the watch even has the 7922 mark scratched off after the 6538.
In 1969, however, the Tudor submarine took on a new look. TUDOR Black Bay Bronze M79250BA-0001 This watch not only has a unique dial, square time marker, but also a hand that collectors call "snowflake." These unusual details also became an important design source for the Tudor led seafloor plankton.
Tudor lead submersible watch can be said to be a representative of professional diving watches, Tudor Royal M28503-0008 is also one of the most complete traditional mechanical diving watch companies on the market in China. Today, we take the Tudor collar submersible blue disc watch as an example to take you to see what professional diving watch information has its own hard power.
First of all, the submarine is made of titanium alloy, which weighs only 60% of stainless steel, so it is very light to wear. TUDOR Royal M28403-0009 In addition, titanium is more stable and resistant to seawater corrosion, and the appearance of fully matte and matte surfaces is also very low-key and good-looking.
Second, the watch uses a clear oversized square time scale and snowflake hands to ensure legibility when reading. The hands and scale of the watch are coated with a large amount of luminous material to ensure a sharp contrast. The watch is especially marked with a blue time scale because blue is the last recognizable color in the deep ocean of the spectrum, which ensures that divers can see the display on the watch even in extremely poor eyesight.
The watch also comes in a distinctive soft blue, which has been the color of Imperial submarines' rudders since the 1960s and was chosen by the French Navy as the color for divers. In addition to matte blue, the collection also has matte black options.
Third, the watch is water resistant to 500 meters, and more importantly, it comes with a helium exhaust valve. When using saturation diving mode, divers need to breathe a helium-oxygen mixture to alternate between submarine activity and cabin rest, avoiding prolonged decompression throughout the mission. Because helium atoms are the smallest gas particles in existence, even if the watch is waterproof, helium can penetrate the watch after a certain time. Therefore, the helium exhaust valve can release the gas that seeps into the watch during the decompression phase at the end of the mission without damaging the watch. The helium exhaust valve not only eliminates this excessive pressure, but also protects the watch from damage.
Fourth, the Tudor Collar Submersible watch uses a screw-in crown design to achieve the effect of water resistance. The crown is engraved with Tudor's iconic shield Logo, while adding a pit finish to make the wearer more slip-resistant and convenient when operating underwater.
Fifth, the automatic adjustment of the watch chain is one of the biggest highlights of the submarine watch. Since the suit tightens under the pressure of the deep sea, it also expands when the diver returns to the surface, but adjusting the tightness of the watch underwater is not convenient. To solve this problem, Tudor has patented a steel discount on the strap, which has a built-in self-adjusting spring that allows the strap to automatically adjust during a dive, making the strap more suitable for your wrist.
The diving watch is the first Emperor Helmsman watch equipped with the brand's independent research and development movement. The watch is equipped with a MT5612 movement, two-way automatic winding pendulum, power reserve of about 70 hours. This movement is also Tudor's first product to be certified by the Swiss Precision Timing Testing Center (COSC). In addition to the hour hand, minute hand, and central second hand functions, the 3 o 'clock position also has an instant calendar window. The Tudor MT5612 has a beat frequency of 28,800 beats per hour or 4 Hz. It is controlled by a balance wheel equipped with a silicon spring, which is secured on both sides by cross clips to enhance its earthquake resistance.
The reason why the dual-rudder diving watch can become a high-quality professional diving watch is not only because of its high standard of process assurance, but also because it has been specially tested in many field environments around the world, ensuring the performance of all aspects of the watch in a complex environment. Finally presented in front of us is a practical and reliable diving watch.
