COSC Certified Observatory certified Watch (for mechanical watches, indicating a higher accuracy and a daily difference of less than 5 seconds)

Diamond Accent with drill (style)

Gemmed Watch with Jewels

Helium release valve watch with helium release valves, see Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium_release_valve
Usually only the diver's watch has this function, the diver's watch is filled with helium in deep water for a long time, and if the diver floats faster, the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the watch shell may cause the watch to explode, while releasing nitrogen through the helium release valve can balance the pressure inside and outside the case to protect the watch.

Hypoallergenic does not cause allergies to the watch, generally made of wood

Jump hour jumping time table, refers to the dial with a window with a digital turntable to display hours, after one hours, the digital turntable to a grid, the number of hours to jump to the next number, similar to the jump minute, jumping table, picture reference alpha Jump table: https:// Www.aliexpress.com/item/Jump-Hour-mechanical-watch/262301434.html?spm=2114.40010308.4.2.Zco9sU

Digital Digital Watch, TIME display

Rotating bezel rotatable bezel, in the outer ring of the dial, can be rotated counterclockwise for diving time (before the dive, rotate the dial to match the minute hand, the dial will be fixed after the float, the angle difference between the minute and the dial to determine the length of the dive), see HTTP/ Forums.watchuseek.com/f2/purpose-rotating-bezel-291525.html

Two-tone two-tone, double-toned (tone refers to tone or hue, used for the Watch refers to tone)

Three-Fold clasp three folding clasp

Quartz quartz watch, quartz watches by the power of the watch battery will produce a fixed frequency of the vibration of the law to time, the accuracy of the crystal is higher than the mechanical table.

Quartz automatic automatic quartz watch, compared to ordinary quartz watches, automatic quartz watch does not need to install batteries, it can through the internal eccentric wheel in the process of walking or moving the kinetic energy generated to generate electricity, and then the quartz vibration to time. See https://zhidao.baidu.com/question/681087496711053372.html

Mechanical Watch Mechanical Watch

The mechanical automatic automatic mechanical watch, which differs from the manual winding Mechanical Watch (which first tightens the mainspring and then makes kinetic energy by the spring tension), the automatic Mechanical watch, which stores kinetic energy through the eccentric wheel.

Tuning fork refers to a quartz watch with a tuning fork made of quartz, quartz tuning fork on the surface of the metal electrode, and then to the electrode through the circuit board generated oscillation voltage, tuning fork will be fixed 32,768hz frequency vibration, thus timing. When the human ear is close to the watch, it hears the hum of the tuning fork oscillation. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuning_fork#In_clocks_and_watches

Self-wind automatic winding, automatic winding, refers to the mechanical meter in the process of walking or hand movement, using mechanical devices to automatically store kinetic energy.
