As I careen all too easily towards my 33rd year, I'm ashamed to say there are still many things I haven't done.self storage Sure, I've travelled widely, loved many women and quaffed the finest wines, but due to a lack of basic skills, such as driving and swimming, death's clammy hands will be upon me long before I complete my own bucket list. Alas, I may never drive an Aston Martin DB5 or swim with the dolphins before I swim with the fishes; but I try not to let my ineptitude get me down. After all, there's nothing wrong with living life vicariously, or getting your girlfriend to drive you around at all times and everywhere.Diving watches are the perfect vicarious accessory for the shore-bound fellow looking to pull off that sporty-active look, and even better for those who actually do go diving. The Graham Chronofighter Prodive Professional (below right) looks every inch the modern diver's watch, which these days typically come with a distinctive strap such as the yellow number on this timepiece, and an oversized dial. Classic diver's watches usually had very simple and easy-to-read faces but the Prodive Professional revels in being unorthodox and features a numberless dial and two subdials: a 30-minute counter and a small seconds counter that resembles a propeller. There are standard dive-watch features such as a unidirectional bezel, a Helium valve, water resistance to 600 metres and luminescent indices and hands, so this watch won't let you down if you do go under. However, the styling makes it more suited for drinks at the marina, where it can be seen and appreciated. Limited to 200 pieces, the Graham Chronofighter Prodive Professional is priced at about HK$125,000.From the unorthodox we swing back to the more familiar, and the Alpina Extreme Diver 300 Orange (top). A more classically styled dive watch, with a simple迷你倉case and dial, the Alpina also comes with the reassuring chunkiness of a steel bracelet. Sized at 44mm, the stainless-steel case houses a black numeral-free dial with hands and indices coated in luminescent material. Alpina makes a big fuss of the orange coating of the indices and numbers on the unidirectional bezel, its line being that orange is the most visible of all colours so more appropriate for diving at depth. That might be true but it makes this timepiece stand out from other dive watches, which, deliberate or not, is an added bonus. Dive features include a screw-in crown and screw-down case back, with water resistance a very healthy 300 metres. Inside is an AL-525 automatic movement driving a relatively modest 38-hour power reserve. Somewhat unnecessary but welcome anyway is the three-day date window at the three o'clock position. The Alpina Extreme Diver 300 Orange is priced at HK$12,500 for the steel bracelet version and HK$11,500 for the one with a rubber strap.Finally, we have the legend that is the Vulcain Nautical DLC limited edition (below left), which is based on the 1961 Nautical, the first diver's watch to have an alarm that was audible under water, designed to warn divers when to resurface. For 2013, Vulcain has updated the line with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coated limited-edition version that should interest enthusiasts and people who like watches with a story. The case is sized at 42mm and houses the famous Cricket V-10 alarm movement. The black dial is feature rich, with a decompression-table indication and 60-minute graduated rotating inner bezel ring that is acti-vated by a screw-locked crown at the four o'clock position. Water resistance is 300 metres and the strap rubberised waterproof leather. The Vulcain Nautical DLC is limited to 100 pieces and prices are available upon request.mini storage
