AS ANY DIVER krušiva, you read to lose all sense of dmg underwater. Yet accurate and reliable timing is essential for proper decompresion when returning to the surface. Lacking this, many tivers have endangered their lives and a number of them have been crippled by "the bends,”
Rolex, who specialize in providing accurate time under any circumstances; have made a wonderful watch called the Submariner--especially for deep divers and all those cogaged in sea-going activities. The Rolex Submariner has a special Oyster case unconditiorcilly guaranized to resist the fantasie pressure at 600 feet-underwater.
Revolutary time-recorder The Submarhter, has also a re- valutionary Time-Recorder" rim round the dial, calibrated from zero to 60. By turning this tim so that the zero mark points to the minute hand, before he starts, the diver can always read of the time clapsed. Even in the twilight pre- vailing at 150 feet, or when diving at night, he can read it because the dial ned all three hands are extra-luminous.
Essential for decompression The "Time Recorder" rim solves the problem of exact timing of
decompression stages. By pre- setting the zero mark to the cor- rect number of minutes, the diver knows precisely when to continue upwards to the surface.
For everyday wear too These revolutionary advantages pre additional to the other re- markable qualities of the Sub- mariner, its marvellous sccuracy, its Perpetual "rotor" self-winding mechanism, and the perfect pro- tection given by its special Oyster case make the Submariner the Ideal watch for everyday wear.
