Dive Watch Topic Discussion - Crowns Sat, 02 March 2013 11:27 Go to previous message

OK, so we talked bezels a bit. But what about that other rotating mechanism on our dive watches, the crown?

What's your favorite crown style and why?

For me, it's the triplock crown on my 16600 Sea Dweller. It just seems to be the perfect diameter and length to allow easy purchase by my grubby little fingers. I hate a crown that's too small in diameter, protrudes so far as to constantly bite into my wrist, or one that is so protected by crown guards that I can't get a hold on it.
