Most proper diving watches have at least a resistance of 330ft (10atm)

Interesting though Rolex built a special that still worked at a depth of 35,000ft

That should be interestingly...and not that anybody could use it at that depth. Nice to know it would still work if you dropped it over the side of a boat though.
