Omega have released a watch that's apparantly tested and rated for 6000m, or c. 20,000ft in freedom units. I wonder if there's any real world use (except maybe in the extreme depths of Swildon's Sump 1), or is it just novelty marketing flannel?
Looking at the size and weight of the watch it'll probably drag you down to Davy Jones' locker if you go for a swim wearing it!
Anyway, it does look like some excellent engineering to be able to accomplish such a thing.
I think they also previously strapped a watch to the outside of a submarine and sent it down to the bottom of the Mariana Trench for something to do.
