But even more unusual than the bezel is its famous quadrant decompression times markers at each corner of the dial. These markings give you the time in minutes for decompression at the depth in meters. (Its a nice feature if you dive decompression depths/times, but I follow the rules my Navy dive instructors taught me - NO DECO!)
If you are old enough to have worn a watch to time your bottom time on a dive, this watch will remind you of all the great things that got you involved with dive watches in the first place. It is incredibly robust, solid as a rock, does what its supposed to without unnecessary extras, and looks like the tool it is. It sort of has a military connection, but definitely had a following among commercial hard hat divers. Best of all, it is not a piece of bling you'll see on your stockbroker's yuppie wrist....

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And If I have trouble the warranty said
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On
