Notes
Launched in 1971, the Seamaster 1000 was the first diver?s watch to be rated to a depth of 1000 meters. Though the winding crown is at 9 o?clock, these watches were made to be worn on the left arm. The crown was placed at 9 to minimize the risk of damaging or inadvertently manipulating the crown while submerged.
