No stem-wound wrist watch small enough to wear in public could ever be truly water proof even at only 30' depth (2 atmosphere's pressure at that level). My non-battery analog dive watch was self-winding; that allowed the works to be properly sealed; the watch also cost a BUNDLE, more than a week's salary. But without a reliable watch one doesn't go diving more than once or twice.
