A watch that is waterproof
down to 660 feet
AS ANY DIVER Knows, you tend to lose all sense of time underwater. Yet accurate and reliable timing is essential for proper decompression when returning to the surface. Lacking this, many divers have endangered their lives and a number of them have been crippled by "the bends."
Rolex, who specialize in providing accurate line under any circumstances, have made a wonderful watch called the Submariner-especially for deep diver and all those engaged in sea-going activities. Tho Roka Submariner has special Dyster case unconditionally guaranteed to resist the fantastic pressure at 660 feet underwater.
Revolutionery time-recorder The Submariner has also a re- valutionary "Time-Recorder" rint round the dial, calibrated froma zero to 60. By turning this rim so that the zero mark polats to the minute hand, before he starts, the diyer can always read off the time elapsed. Even in the twilight pre- vailing at 150 feel, or when diving at night, he can read it because the dial and all three hands are extra-lundpous.
Eveenial for decompremiois
