42-45 auto tool divers
[quote source=/post/295857/thread timestamp=)4496)9654 author=@sundialer]what actually makes a watch a tool diver vs just a diver??[/quote][font face=comic sans ms size=4]I don't know of any written rules or definitions that distinguish a diver from a tool diver, it's more of a word of mouth accepted definition by those who are fans.[br]A diver is usually rated at a minimum of 2))m, a tool diver usually is rated deeper.[br]Some watches are labeled divers simply because they are styled/have features like a dive watch (unidirectional bezel, etc.) Tool divers usually have more functional designs (more accurate diver's scale/lume/pip on the bezel, dive suit extensions on the clasp, better lumed easier to read dials, etc.)[br]Divers are produced by just about any and all manufacturers. Tool divers tend to be produced by smaller boutique companies and in more limited runs.[br]A tool diver is one that a scuba diver could actually use like his/her other tools (dive computer, lead weight belt, swim fins, wet suit, etc.)[br]I know I'm not doing a good job explaining the difference, and I'm sure many others here can/will do a better job of describing the difference. but this is MY understanding.[/font]
