I did a search and didn’t find someone having asked this before (although I could have sworn I’ve seen this question in the past somewhere).

can you please post any watches you know, preferable higher end, preferably not Rolex / tudor that have screw down pushers.

I understand the why and everything else behind them I just think they are an interesting little detail and am wondering what is out there that I’m missing and this board is always great for learning about watches I’m not aware of.

I believe Brietling has models with screw down pushers... but couldn't tell you specifically which.

Practically all watches with 100m+ WR rating would have screw down crown now a days. VERY few does not (Panerai is one company who does not do it - I don't know about their submersibles though, but my 165 with 300m rating does NOT have screwdown crown). That said, most of the screwdown crown designs does not really contribute to the water tightness, but rather prevents accidental use of the crowns. (Rolex is one exception where they do advertise that their system adds more - from large company - there are few smaller companies - Damasko for example) Heck, Panerai claims that their "crown protectors" does not really do anything but "look good".

EDIT: Don't know what I was thinking.. He is asking about screw down pushers while I am reading it as screw down crowns.. :(

Also Omega more affordably, and second hand Ulysse Nardin are cheaper than Rolex if you are in the market.

I think that the Omega pushers on the modern watches are not screw down although they look like it - the POs are rated to 600 m and can be used/pushed under water. What looks like a screw down pusher is the ability to remove and reseal the pusher without having to open the case. At least that's what I've read somewhere.

The Sinn 103 line including the arktis has them except for the acrylic one

GS Spring Drive Chronograph that I had also had screw down pushers (big ones - much easier to operate than smaller pushers that screw down).

That said, I think it isn't good since you have to unscrew them in order to time something. By that time, you may be too late to start the timer.

I guess it is to prevent chronos from accidentally engaging under water? That said, better question may be which chronographs can be operated under water?

Here is my picture of the GS Spring drive Chrono:
