Abstract:
1. An electronic diving watch comprising a sealed case containing a timepiece movement covered by a dial, the watch comprising at least first graduations corresponding to time indications, said timepiece movement comprising electronic circuits adapted to generate time signals for motor means controlling at least respective first and second analog display organs, said analog display organs being disposed above the dial to display the current time in a first mode of operation called the time mode, the watch further comprising a pressure sensor adapted to produce electric signals representing the surrounding pressure and to supply said signals to the said electronic circuits, the diving watch having at least a second mode of operation in which display of data relating to the performance of diving is provided, wherein the display of said data relating to the performance of diving is effected by at least one of said display organs in connection with said first graduations corresponding to the time indications, wherein said data relating to the diving are representative of the maximum remaining duration during which the user of the watch can continue with a current dive before needing to perform a decompressing stage during the ascent, and wherein said first display organ is further arranged to be able to move in the anticlockwise sense relative said first graduations to indicate said remaining duration.
