I might be too late for this to be seen but you should try a rupert’s drop in the chamber. It may be too strong to break but it does have a bubble inside and is worth a try!
Love seeing these pressure experiments! Have a look at the Deep Blue Pro Sea Diver, it should be a similar price to the turtle, but rated at 1000m. Would love to see it in the chamber!
Meanwhile people in Rolex-forums: "Can I shower with my 1000m diver???" Btw. I love how this test has proven how well a push-pull crown can seal a watch and what tanks dirt cheap quartz movements like the Miyota 2035 are.
I love this channel. You guys always have the best experiments. I found this channel a few years ago when you were trying to see if red hot things would melt through the lake ice. Please keep doing what you're doing. I appreciate it.
what i was able to deduce from what i have seen here is that the main weakness of the watch is the air inside because, since gases can be compressed, the outer pressure can crush the watch and either bend the back panel inwards to disrupt the mechanism or crack the glass in the front. thus i hypothesise that a watch that filled in with a liquid, which can not be compressed, would hold up against the water pressure much better as the liquid inside the watch would support the structure from the inside. thus i suggest your watch maker try to make watch filled with a hydrophobic liquid like mineral oil or if that's too sticky maybe something with low viscosity like diesel fuel or kerosin?
Great observation, and quite true! There are several oil-filled watches by the likes of Bell and Ross Hydromax and Sinn UX that are rated for extreme depths (e.g. the Sinn's movement is rated for 500 bar, the case for 1200 bar).
@@windhelmguard5295 You and me both. I "invented" the centrifugal clutch myself. At any rate, you may find it interesting that the first vessel to reach the deepest point of the ocean, the "Trieste", used a float to bring it back to the surface, and this float was a tank filled with gasoline, which is about 0.75 the density of sea water.
That's it! I think that you are fibbing. You are allowed to lie on the internet, so I think that you need to come clean and tell us if you are fibbing. So, does Seiko mean "UA-cam ad revenue" in Finnish, or what? So, That's it. (Note, I have included a clue in there, and it has to do with the poor grammar, and the nonsensical sentences. So that's it for now) 😊
Very cool demonstration .. I see a lot of folks who question WR rating when watches don't have a threaded crown. The quartz lasted deeper than I guessed. Thanks for the video.
With rare exception, the threading contributes nothing to water resistance - it's to prevent the crown from getting pulled out by accident while diving.
Well that's amazing how much pressure a watch will take and still work! You're doing great work, please keep it up, especially on more affordable/cheaper watch brands?
Great video. I always suspected a screwed in crown didn't add any water resistance. Stops it being pulled out by mistake and helps protect it from knocks but water pressure will keep it tightly in place under deep water. A Rolex Deepsea is rated at 3900m... if you can find a brave owner to lend you one!
You guy's videos are the best I live ti watch your video they just are the best I'd love seeing more of these pressure experiments, I love you're video in both of the channels I love to support you guys I subbed to ur both channel to support you:-D ❤️✨
Can you pressure dive computers? Some have been deeper than 300m. It would be interesting to see how deep they can go and at what depth the sensors would break/error.
@@FixingWithFriends I understand the concept. It would be similiar with a jack stand that is rated at a certain level. Ofcourse its precaution, but some products are rated at 20 bar but will break before or just after. So kudos to Seiko
With the right practice and equipment a person can scuba dive down to 1000 feet or 305 meters but I think that you would probably abort the dive if your watch failed as you need that to tell how long you have been underwater and how long your decompression stops will be.
@@GuaranaMontana The current record for the deepest a human has ever dived was set in 2014 at 332.35m by Ahmed Gabr , and on his wrist was a bulbous Charmex CX Swiss Military watch rated to 6,000m.
@10:00 the watchmaker is disappointed that a diver's watch rated for 200m stopped working at 850 meters (85 bars)...he didn't seem to be joking. I think the Turtle did perfect! It would be nice to see a watch with sapphire crystal tested here. The sapphire is harder but more brittle than the Hardlex crystal in the Seiko. The expectation would be to crack at high pressures not to shatter like the Hardlex crystal did.
The thickness of the crystal is more important. Citizen and seiko make some of the best affordable divers .reliable etc. They lack is specs and other things compared to microbrands but they are reliable.with great history.
Interesting! I wonder if Topi was able to salvage the internals from the Leijona with use of all his tools in the end. Maybe I'll go ask when I go to Uusikaupunki next time
I don't think the crown/stem were the failure point. I think the steam bent because the movement was pushed backed when the crystal failed. Since the case back of the Seiko held up so well I would be very interested to see what would happen if you installed a new movement and a thick domed crystal.
Seiko Turtle is rated at 200 meter which is 20 BAR(ATM). The watch stop at 80 bar or 800 meter which is 4 times over rating, and the glass shattered at 120 BAR or 1200 meter, that is 6 times over its rating! Good job Seiko
I love this. I think it's worth remembering that the Guinness World Record scuba dive was 323 meters, and it took the guy 15 hours to come back up safely.
@@Mp57navy (nods) That's really cool. I'm no expert, is that still considered scuba? I understand that 323 meters covers the vast majority of divers, and figured that rare person who goes deeper won't need me to remind them about anything.
I love you guys! Have watched nearly every single HPC and BTP video, and Anni’s channel! Just a constructive hint - maybe work on your thumbnails! Add a picture of you guys (and/or the guests) on top of the picture of what your crushing, makes it look more interesting!
Would be good to see two cameras showing the front and back of the watches at the same time. See if the back bowing in pops the glass at the front of the cheap watch. Can clearly tell the flat glass on the Seiko imploded at the centre. Just curious to see.
I heard a story of a submarine captain who had a Rolex. To test it he attached it to the coming tower of the submarine and took it down to the pressure rating. It broke, as he had an official record of the depth Rolex gave him a new one. Nice to see an expert do a tear down of the damage. You still need to get a watch from Suunto a well known Finnish brand, I have 2 myself.
Watchmakers, well really anyone who works on things at such small dimensions with such low tolerances, always amaze me. I have perma-caffeine shakes in my hands and any time I work on anything under a half inch or so it's a funky adventure..
Great video. Could you please do video with a hydro-modded, oil filled watch? You could finally prove or disprove if filling your watch with oil makes any improvement to water resistance performance.
First i had seiko sportura snaf35p1 but In the middle of Day battery run out. Luckily i had with me My Last purchase citizen promaster automatic Le. Sou that is the reason i changed watches 😁
I am quite happy with my Seiko 5 series that is rated for 50m! I don't dive so *I* am not rated for 50m! My favorite "cheap" watch is a Casio G-shock MT-G that is 30+ years old. It's rated to 200m. Was about $80.00US when new. Solar. Just went and pulled it out of a drawer after 15 years or so and it is still keeping time and date! Funny thing: I always have to take about six links out of new watches to make them fit. I hate a watch that is loose on the arm! AND I understand some German as well as English. It seems Sheisse is a universal term! ;)
Seems like the ones with better case-backs will be higher on the list, to be sure. The general consensus in 2021 if you want Sapphire is to get an Orient Kamasu. The Seiko are good, but getting over-priced. If you can't swing the sapphire crystal, the entry-level Orient should be just as road-worthy. Err, sea-worthy.
Congratulations for the video I would like you to review the h2o kalmar 2 10 miles model a grade 5 titanium sub with a unique bezel and strap a sub tested at 25300m made in germany ... I as a love of extreme divers could not resist and the I bought!!
Thanks to Topi for helping with the video! For your watch needs go check out Topi's webpages www.ukinkultakello.fi/
How about you see how deep a sundial can go before it stops working?
💚🐇🐴💚
Glass is probably 3mm thickness max.
I might be too late for this to be seen but you should try a rupert’s drop in the chamber. It may be too strong to break but it does have a bubble inside and is worth a try!
Having a real professional at hand really added something to this video!
It was indeed, you can easily tell he knows watches and adds a whole new dimension to the watch thing!
Love seeing these pressure experiments! Have a look at the Deep Blue Pro Sea Diver, it should be a similar price to the turtle, but rated at 1000m. Would love to see it in the chamber!
Really fun collab - more like this!
We have lot of expert collabs coming this year.
Fascinating, but of course academic - these depths would all be one-way trips for the diver involved.
Yes but who cares!
@@robertlock6041 probably the diver after being dragged to the depths by a giant squid and not even being able to time it.
@@chrstfer2452 A tragedy, I agree! 😀
@@chrstfer2452 Now you've touched upon my personal nightmare.
People can and do survive 30-40 bar, while working. Look up saturation diving. The record is at 701 meters. This equals 70 bar.

These tests are pretty cool. Another fun thing to try would be to cycle them within non destructive range and see if they fail over time.

Can you pressure dive computers? Some have been deeper than 300m. It would be interesting to see how deep they can go and at what depth the sensors would break/error.

You are probably using a dive computer if you are going that deep.
That Seiko Turtle is only ISO 6425 rated for 200 meters so reaching 800 meters before it stops is really impressive.
