Can you imagine diving, dependent on measured elapsed time so that you don’t run out of air before ascending to the surface and your battery goes dead? Bad situation! If there could be only one type of watch in the world that I had to choose as being the only watch to house an automatic movement, it would be the diver’s watch above anything else.

or solar, eithers good - plus most quartz have a long EOL indicator so these days so you really need not worry - plus bang your auto on a rock and u may gain or loose a minutes an hour, more of a problem in the long run. Any monkey can change a battery and pack of ten cost 3 quid at best (just don't tell the people who work with me - dent my profit margins ;)) - Seriously though why arent 10 year battery movements standard in the (3 hander) swiss watch industry? theres no excuse.
I miss all the great things that may never be.

If Christopher Ward offered the C60 Trident diver's watches as a quartz watch, would you still buy one? ....

Probably not. While the C3 is marvelous, and my Marathon quartz is accurate and has tritium tubes that shine like a flashlight, I confess to still liking the autos better. Or the mechanical ones, too! :D

Kip,

Reviewed your posted link. So this method used for real serious diver’s watches. I’ve never seen this but it’s interesting. And it only makes sense to.

No. I'm afraid I find quartz off putting.
