XTREMELY RUGGED, the
Dive Master 500 series is
ready for all types of
demanding use and tough
conditions, including diving in the
depths of the ocean.
Every detail of this timepiece,
from the case to the hands, has been
engineered for efficiency and ease of
use. The unidirectional rotating bezel
allows accurate counting of the
minutes, up to 60 minutes in low
light conditions, thanks to the photo-
luminescent material equipping
hands, four markers and the first 20-
minutes scale on the bezel.
The Dive Master 500 is offered
with a high-precision quartz
movement or a fine mechanical self-
winding mechanism.
The sturdy case construction,
with its high level of water and shock
resistance is made of 316L steel which
is particularly resistant to corrosion
while the steel case is treated with a
high-tech Black Ice PVD coating. A
genuine Swiss made rubber strap is
available as well as a steel bracelet
with a diving extension, which can be
worn on top of any wetsuit.
The bold, attractive, and solid
design makes this timepiece perfect
