Introducing the MWC 100ATM Diver's Watch, a top-tier, 100% Swiss-made timepiece designed for professional divers. This model is part of our latest heavy-duty range and is built to withstand the most challenging conditions.

Key Features:

  • Water Resistance: Rated at 100ATM (1,000 meters / 3,280 feet), this watch is ideal for diving at extreme depths, including mixed gas diving.
  • Helium Escape Valve: Essential for saturation divers, this feature ensures helium molecules are safely released during decompression, preventing potential damage or crystal blowout.
  • Sapphire Crystal: Highly durable and scratch-resistant, providing long-lasting protection and clear visibility.
  • Non-Scratch Ceramic Bezel: Designed for easy grip in extreme cold, ensuring functionality in all conditions.
  • Wider Strap: Features a 24mm strap, offering enhanced comfort and stability compared to the standard 20mm straps.

Why Helium Matters:

Helium molecules are among the smallest, capable of penetrating the seals of a dive watch. In high-pressure environments, such as those experienced by saturation divers, helium can build up inside the watch. Without a helium escape valve, this pressure can cause serious damage, potentially blowing out the crystal or crown. The valve allows helium to escape during decompression, maintaining the watch's integrity and safety.

Additional Information:

Why choose sapphire crystal over standard mineral crystal? Synthetic sapphire is the best material for watch crystals due to its strength and resistance to shattering and scratching. These characteristics make it highly appealing to military and security personnel, police officers, and active outdoor enthusiasts. Over 70% of our customers fall into these categories. In our experience, over 90% of watch crystals that crack during accidents are made from mineral glass, even when hardened. Sapphire crystals undergo heat treatment to remove internal stresses, enhancing their strength. This process, combined with anti-reflective coating, ensures exceptional durability and clarity. While sapphire crystal is more expensive, it is a standard feature in high-end watches.

Experience unparalleled durability and precision with the MWC 100ATM Diver's Watch—engineered for those who demand the best.
