AUTOMATIC DIVER ’ S WATCH Water resistant to 300 meters , the dive model in the new collection is also a certified chronometer that adds a folding safety clasp with an extension element to the Iron Walker ’ s signature integrated three-row stainless-steel bracelet . With the extension element , the watch ’ s length can be increased by as much as 17mm .

This dive model utilizes an internal bezel dive-time ring , mounted behind the sapphire crystal , to meet all DIN and ISO standards for dive watches . To satisfy all underwater visibility requirements , Wempe has marked the watch ’ s triangular zero mark and its hands and markers with SuperLuminova . Both crowns are screw-in for added water resistance .

Despite its dive-ready technical design , the Wempe Iron Walker Automatic Diver ’ s Watch is sleeker than most dive watches . The watch is only 11.7mm thick – a moderate size that means it will fit nicely under any sleeve . Inside Wempe places an ETA 2892 automatic movement that its watchmakers have adjusted to meet German chronometer and ISO 3159 dive watch standards . Price : $ 3,450 .
