Blancpain has just introduced what they claim to be the most high performance mechanical dive watch in the world. The X Fathoms is not the deepest diver in the world, not even close, but it does have a number of professional diving features that make their claim plausible.

The X Fathom's coolest feature is a mechanical depth gauge, shown in the central of the dial via a display with "0-90" markings in yellow and a dedicated hand. As the display indicates, the depth gauge works from 0 to 90 meters. This function is rarely seen in mechanical watches - although Panerai, IWC and JLC are the three brands that have produced mechanical depth gauge wristwatches in the past. The biggest advantage of a mechanical depth gauge being built into a timepiece, is that it eliminates the need for a dedicated depth gauge. Many divers wear both a depth gauge and professional dive watch.

Introducing the Corum Admiral's Cup Seafender 48 Deep Dive, a true professional dive watch. According to the FHS, "Divers' watches must be water resistant at 330 ft minimum. They must also feature a time controller and comply with standards provided by NIHS 92-11 (ISO 6425) : luminosity, shock resistance, anti-magnetism, band solidity."

With a massive 48 mm x 18.9 mm solid Grade 5 titanium case, the Seafender 48 can withstand pressure far greater than the ISO 6425 dive watch standard requires. In fact, with a depth rating of 1,000 meters, it is actually ten times better.
