Is it new enough that the kinetic capacitor is okay? Keeping time well?
The red/blue has to do with time at depth. 15 mins is the time at the max depth. Normally you do your deepest dive first. On mobile at the moment but there is a tradition set about this stuff on dials (same for monodirectional bezel design). Will try find the link.

Clearing out some draws last week and found this - my brother bought it for my 18th birthday thirteen years ago... As he was visiting yesterday I decided to get a strap for it as I'd lost the original many years ago, probably not worn it for a decade! I know very little about the watch, if it is any good or a toy but will start googling it now... It has always confused my as to why the first 15mins of the bezel are red? I assume it has some origin in timing diving oxygen tanks - but then would it not make more sense to have the last 15mins in red as a warning?
Any help appreciated!
Cheers,
Matt
