With its mechanical depth gauge, the Aquatimer Deep Two offers maximum safety and security. Water-resistant to 12 bar, the watch contains a complete backup system that permits the diver to measure and plan vital parameters such as dive depth and time in the event of a dive computer failure.

Two indicators show current depth and the maximum depth reached in the course of the dive (down to 50 metres) on a white scale. The blue indicator moves to show the actual dive depth, while the red one remains static at the maximum depth attained during the dive. The pressure metering system is located on the left-hand side of the case.

The Aquatimer Deep Two has an enormous 46-millimetre stainless-steel case that houses a 30110-calibre automatic movement with central seconds, date display and 42-hour power reserve. The steel back is decorated with an elaborate relief engraving of a diving helmet. The further improved stainless-steel bracelet now also features a double push-button safety clasp.

Depth Gauge

With the further-developed depth gauge mechanism, the Aquatimer Deep Two is able to display actual and maximum depths during a dive down to 50 metres. The pressure metering system is housed in a crown on the left-hand side of the case. Water pressure enters the system through miniscule holes in the cover of the depth gauge crown, where it acts upon a spring membrane and pushes a shaft towards the interior of the case.
This movement activates a system of levers and, after transmission through a wheel train at the centre of the watch, moves the gauge’s two indicators. While the blue indicator moves to show current dive depth, the red one remains at the maximum depth attained in the course of the dive, prevented by a pawl from returning to its original position. The maximum depth indicator can be reset to zero by pressing a button next to the depth gauge crown.
