The History of Dive Watches: Part I: The Early Years | Armand The Watch Guy

#Vintagewatch #AntiqueClock #HistoryDesign #VintageClock
In this first installment of a two part history, I would like to discuss the evolution of the dive watch from the first water resistant watches of Rolex & Omega of the 1920s and 1930s, through the military watches of Panerai and Blancpain, to the watches of the explorers of the 1950s and 1960s. These watches formed the foundation for the most popular form of modern men's watches and accompanied major scientific discoveries.
