The Diver is the intellectual octopus of the watch world. He plays an active hand in every corner of enthusiast collecting, and sanctions the gear on our radar. He has nightmares about polished center links and the “un-tooling” of true dive watches, yet he is accepting of hopped-up marketing and pricey reissues so long as the watch performs in deep water. He tests everything himself, and earns unwavering trust as a technical Sensei, for his advocacy is genuine. –By Howard Parr; Illustration by Matthew Miller
