Nice article! It's interesting to know that they can test only 10 DSCs at a time. Just for comparison, does anyone know how many subs or SDs they can test at a time?

Another interesting fact is that the Piccards, who built and tested world's deepest submersible, are also from Switzerland, a landlocked country! :-)

No one will be able to get one at MSRP? Who knows when if ever these will be available?

It’s a big lump of a watch. Realistically only usable when actually wearing a dive suit for someone with small wrists like mine, but I love it.

The Crystal alone weighs more than your 40m EXP I.

It’s created for zero divers as a usable tool watch. It’s a d… measuring contest with Omega and fine by me. Only elite thrill seeking divers go beyond the depth and pressure ratings of a Submariner.
