Derived from the compression crown technology, the patented pusher and
crown locking system ensures total reliability and security. A one-
quarter turn is enough for the water-resistance system to reseal
itself as hermetically as a submarine hatch.<br><br>The dial rim
features a pulsometric scale indicating the heartbeat per minute.
Three easy steps: start the chronograph seconds hand, then stop it at
the 30th heartbeat and read off the measurement where the hand is

account of the upper limits of their cardiac rate. It is indispensable
for free-diving, since this discipline specifically involves
controlling and reducing one's pulse rate. <br> Since 1833, when the

Reverso - an ingenious reversible watch - was unveiled to the public.
