Eterna KonTiki Diving Watch
Though not the newest diving watch on the block, the Eterna KonTiki Diving Watch was the first to use a hinged led mechanism that allows the mechanical movement container to move from the bridge of the bracelet, negating any errors from the parallax effect. What does that all mean? Once the dive time is set on the dual-rotating bezel you can lock the container back into the bridge without fear of unnecessary bezel rotation. The Eterna KonTiki is designed using automobile industry grade sealing mechanisms that allow the Eterna KonTiki to have not only a diving ring adjusted by a rotating bezel instead of a crown and hold watertight down to 1000 meters. The black dial of the KonTiki diver is easily legible under any light with it’s large white numbers, raised index marks and wide hands. It measures a robust 46mm and the case is made of PVD coated titanium. You can buy this Eterna Diving Watch for a price of 7,360. Eterna Watches.

The Jules Jurgensen Uncrushable 3,000-Foot Depth Watch can withstand water pressures exerted on its frame when submerged down to a depth of 3,000 feet.

This watch will make a great present for anyone that's serious about diving deep or wants to be able to say that they could if needed. Plus it's quite the sporty looking watch.
