Extreme Dive Watches from TechnoMarine, Bell & Ross, MTM, and Sinn

If you're a Seiko fan, then you've probably heard of the Seiko OrangeMonster. It's a must-have for all Seiko collectors. And if you're areal Seiko diver fanatic, you might even have the Seiko Yellow or BlackMonsters, as well. But now, there's a new monster to add toyour collect: the Seiko Blue Monster.The Seiko Blue Monster (Ref. SKZ213K1) is a beautiful, limitededition piece. Features include: Double folding safety claspwith diver's extension (to fitover a wet suit).I have the Orange Monster myself, and it's a great watch witha very robust feel. They have a reputation for being high-qualityautomatic watches sold at a reasonable price, and for having unusuallybright luminescent hands and hour markers. Seiko uses a material calledLumibrite which is very effective, especially on hands as wide as thosefound on the monster series. TechnoMarine AbyssDive watches come in all shapes and sizes, and are available at all different price points. Most watches with a uni-directional rotating bezel and the ability to fit over a wetsuit claim more water resistance then most of us will ever need: usually around 100-200 meters. But the watches I cover in this article go way deeper than your typical diver; deeper than the current 1,220 meter Rolex Sea Dweller; deeper, even, than the Breitling Steelfish which maxes out at a comparably casual 2,000 meters. There are a handful of watches out there that can literally scrape the bottom of the deepest known parts of the ocean, and I call these watches "extreme divers".The TechnoMarine AbyssFirst up is the TechnoMarine Abyss.
