Only watches marked with "DIVERS" on the dial should be use for diving.
The figures quoted refer to STATIC pressure. The actual water pressure on the watch during use can be far greater than static pressure. For instance, maximum pressure on the watch when poolside diving is likely to be at the point of impact with the water.
Rotary expertise means that the majority of their watches in both our ladies and gents ranges (even models which feature stone set bezels, delicate bracelets or ultra slim cases) have been upgraded to Waterproof specification meaning that you and your watch can swim and dive all day.
If you intend to use your watch in water then select a water resistance as high as possible.
