AS ANY DIVER Knows, you tend to lose all senso 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
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 engaged in wox-going activities. The Rolex Submariner Its a special Oyster case unconditionally guaranteed to resist the fantasik pressure at 660 feet underwater.
Revolutionary re-recorder The Submariner has also a re- volutionary "Time-Recorder" round the diút, calibrated from zero is 60. By lening this sim so that the zero mark points to le minute hand, before he starts, the diver can always read off the time elapsed. Even in the twilight pre- valling at 150 feet, or when diving at night, he can read it because the dial and all three hande are extra-lumiscu72.
