 For the same reason we buy SUV's and sports cars that will never see the upper end of their performance range.  It's nothing new.  It's just plain ole marketing.

I mean, who is the watch marketed to ?  MEN!  What better way to advertise to your taget audience than to appeal to the archtype?  The ancient hunter-gatherer in all of us, including his most modern form...  The serviceman, carrying out secret missions and special opserations under the cover of darkness where his equipment...  Indeed his watch... may be the difference between life and death!   ooohhhh!  I get all goose bumpy thinking about it.....  must....  buy....watch.....
