The deepest place in the ocean is Marina Trench of 39,600 feet, so there you have it. This watch it's been tested at a Swiss laboratory chamber and passed the test. It's case is filled with silicone oil except of an air bubble to help withstand that presure.

The 20000ft is an automatic and a chronograph to boot. It currently owns the Guiness record for mechanical watches. Erwin,

However, as I really can't see myself being 20,000 metres under the sea, I think I might get a $100 watch and a car instead. ;) Seriously though, it's quite piece.... however I think I'd be more swayed to purchasing something from the Breitling range, which I'm thinking of doing for christmas, providing I can pick one!

At least if you die wearing the watch you can be only of 1000 people identifying your body will be easy.

They actually shoot one of these with a shotgun. Scratched but working. The battery replacement for the watch to maintain it's depth certification will probably be very expensive. But if you can afford the watch, you probably wouldn't feel the cost. The video on their website is cool. They actually shoot one of these with a shotgun. Scratched but working.
