SDW HyperBar Pro World Record 12,000m Divers Watch(Unique Technology)

This is the Hyperbar World Record Watch which has succesfully undergone pressue testing to depths of 39,600 feet (12,000m) Using a unique technology this watch is able to withstand pressures no other watch can. The movement is in a self contained unit so there is no need for a screw down crown and the battery can be changed easily by the owner using a quick change thumbscrew panel (similar to the G10BH) in the back of the watch, so retaining it waterproofing
Features:
• Movement : Swiss ETA 955.114
• Glass : 1.8mm High Resistance Mineral
• Case : GRP Reinforced
• Bezel : ABS Unidirectional
• Illumination : SuperLuminova
• Crown : 2 O Ring Swiss Larva
• Size : 40.15mm
"Here some more information and details about the HYPERBAR Deep Diver System:
At first sight it seems to be impossible that a watch (depending on the model) could reach a depth of up to 12'000 m / 39'600 feet.
For sure you recognized already that the inside of your HYPERBAR watch, except a more or less small bubble, is completely filled out with a liquid. More precisely, all the components, including the movement, are plunged in this liquid.
Only the patented filling system (patent no. CH68698985) makes this incredible durability possible, tested and certified by the EGI (Swiss federal inspectorate of Dangerous Materials, test report no. 102'433).
Besides the HYPERBAR Deep Diver System is based on a simple physical principle, which starfish and sea-urchins are making use of for millions of year already: fine incompressibility of the liquid. These aborigines of the sea are consisted of a texture, permeable to the water surrounding them. That means : The pressure from the outside will be equalized by the same pressure from the inside, equivalent a force zero, which for the starfish and the sea-urchins means not more and not less than surviving in a few thousand meters, ten thousand feet.
Adopting this system into a wrist watch seams to be relatively simple; nevertheless it took us years of research and development until the realization. One of our major tasks was to choose, test and harmonize very carefully all the different components and materials. Besides, for the case of the HYPERBAR watch, it was of course impossible to be permanent as a starfish. That means we had to mix a liquid which A was stable under all conditions and B at the same time digestible for all the material and components.
The result you find in your watch ! A mixture bases on oil, replacing almost all the air in the watch case. Just a small bubble (diameter less 5 mm) is remaining, moving visible over the dial most of the time. It is kept as an extension chamber and is getting small or in the heat respectively bigger in the cold. It can happen, that the bubble is invisible, in this case it is moving behind the dial or, due to big heat-influence (warm water, direct sunlight), it is practically dissolved. Moreover the liquid filling does not affect the precision of your watch. The slightly higher resistance of the watch hands will be compensated by the rate adjustment, the movement is equipped with. Also , tests in our laboratory proved that the consumption is within the scale of « empty » quartz watches. The insulating effect of the fluid prevents craw streams and the possibility of a short circuit in the movement, hereby an eventual increased consumption (caused by the higher resistance) will be compensated.
In addition, other very salient advantages are resulting for you and your watch thanks to this HYPERBAR Deep Diver System:
• Excellent readability at all angles because the light does not get broken by the crystal and the disturbing reflections are falling away. At the same time the fluid acts as a magnifier
• Higher corrosion-resistance for all the parts inside the case due to the oily liquid
• Reduced wear out of the movement due to permanent lubrication.

Where can I get the liquid to tap-up my watch?
