Lot Essay

The Space-Compax is the under-water version of the Compax. With its armoured push-buttons and hermetic winding crown, it is waterproofed to withstand pressures of 25 atmospheres, or 750 feet. It is designed primarily for diving and aquatic sports. The revolving bezel provides a constant check on dive duration and enables calculation of decompression levels.
