It was strapped to the outside of the bathysphere "Trieste" which was then piloted to the deepest point in the worlds' oceans, the Challenger Deep of the Mariana Trench. However the watch in the video is NOT the original watch.
The original watch has a white dial and is in a less pristine condition than that depicted. It is housed in the Smithsonian.
