• TBH the thickness of modern watches, especially dive watches, is a bit of a pet peeve.

    I get it with something like a Deepsea, which is all about testing the limits. But otherwise, why are they all so thick? To hit a +200m depth more easily? <13mm is a nice height for a sports watch, and something like the Tudor GMT at 15mm just seems way too high...

    ...but maybe it's just because I wear shirts most days.

    @ejay2.0 - sorry didn't realise it was your personal one, and I wasn't trying to be mean.

  • Its mostly the thickness of the mass produced cheaper movements that affect thickness in designs I think.

    A Valjoux 7750 is 8mm thick before you've even slapped a dial and case on it...
