Skeleton dials and dive watches don't mix

By Tom Hargreaves, Falmouth, Cornwall ยท

I'll be blunt. A skeleton dial on a diver is about the worst idea for reading the time underwater. All those gears and bridges behind the hands, everything in the same dark grey. Murky water at ten metres and you're squinting.

Rado do the ceramic case brilliantly, mind. 43 mm, 14.3 mm, 300 m, and it'll never scratch. R808 movement with 80 hours, open back. $3,800 to $4,200.

Buy it as a jewellery piece with a bezel. Don't buy it for diving.
