Precimax Deepswim Depth Gauge Diver

Precimax Deepswim Diver

What if I told you this dive watch cost more than a Rolex Submariner back in the 70s and 80s? This Precimax Deepswim is a genuine dive watch that was exclusively retailed in specialized dive shops, not in jewelers. It’s a true tool watch, designed for extreme conditions, and this particular example has never left the showcase; we acquired it from an old dive shop that still had it in their inventory.

The Precimax Deepswim features a revolutionary depth gauge that accurately measures how deep you are below sea level while diving. The double plexiglass has a hole on the crown side, allowing water to enter a channel. Using the red and white scale, you can see your depth— the deeper you go, the further the water travels inside the channel, thanks to a membrane inside.

In addition to the depth gauge, the watch includes a bi-directional aluminum bezel and a black dial that has been generously applied with tritium. Inside the robust steel case, which can withstand depths of up to 200 meters, lies the reliable ETA caliber 2451.
