  • @windhelmguard5295
    @windhelmguard5295 3 роки тому +20

    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?

    @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.

    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.
