It then translates that applied pressure to depth — the higher the pressure, the deeper the dive. It then translates that data into meters (down to a tenth of a meter), which can be read on the digital display.
That extends further. In addition to having an active depth meter, it can also remember your recent diving depths, has a rapid ascent alarm (so you don’t end up with nitrogen narcosis) and more.
Not only does this feature help set Aqualand apart, but it’s also an incredibly cool piece of retro technology that’s still pretty useful for anyone who enjoys diving. But it’s not all the watch has going for it.
What’s lurking beneath the surface
It bears repeating that this watch is still a highly capable ISO-compliant diver even without the automatic depth sensor. It’s also very stylish, marked by a 43.5mm gray stainless steel case, black dial and bezel (and matching “Biomass-based polyurethane” strap), and gold detailing—a throwback combo that harkens to the original.
Of course, that rotating bezel is a useful dive timer on its own. It also has an offset crown at the 4 o’clock position with some added protection. Plus, the whole thing is good for depths of up to 200 meters.
