The world's first modern diving watch was made by the Blancpain's iconic Fifty Fathoms in 1953. A book named 'Fifty Fathoms, The Dive and Watch History 1953-2013' has been written on the stories of 24 adventures that helped in the exploration of the oceans of the world, which could be done with the help of their diving watches.

There was a period when time was calculated with the position of the Sun and the Moon. And there is this period now, where a watch is worn not just to see time, but to measure speed, pulse, fuel consumption, and time from all over the world simultaneously on your wrist, and nothing seems impossible. Another feather added to technology, scientists have created these mechanisms for the ease of use, summing it all up in a tiny wrist watch! It reduces the need to carry more equipment and the cost of machinery.
