    My favorite HardCore diver watches

    Well I have the Submariner 16610 too but these are the hardcore ones.

    I love them both. The old model of SteelFish is among the coolest watches Breitling ever made. The new SteelFish is very nice but it doesn't seem to grab me the same way.

    Cheers.

    Haha... Hard Core.

    Edited the topic title. Maybe it was confusing.

    English is not my mother language but I looked it in the dictionary:



    When a watch has extreme depth rating like the Sea-Dweller or SuperOcean I thought that term would be appropriate.

    Guess not.

    Are those “hard-core”? When the hydromax does 11,100m it makes those look a bit “am-dram”

    This has no water resistance rating because theoretically it’s completely waterproof to any depth.



    Totally hard core

    Awesome. Case 12,000m, movement 5,000m.

    EDIT: and Challenger Deep is 10,994 meters below sea level ± 40 meters. So, fill your boots!

    Here is another. And the nice thing is that every other watch I buy will feel light in comparison.

    Are you sure 20000000000 ft isn't just the case height? ;)

    Point taken, but I definitely couldn't live with that bubble!
