Key Points from the Discussion

• The absence of a complete minute track on the bezel of some vintage dive watches, like the Breguet Sea Snake, raises questions about their practical utility for precise decompression timing, which was critical for diver safety.
• Precision in bottom and decompression times was a matter of life and death for divers, making complete minute tracks on professional dive watch bezels a crucial feature.
• The original author clarified that one of the featured images, specifically of the 1613 reference, should be credited to Phillips auction house.
