The 15 best dive watches
Whether you’re a scuba novice, about to plunge into the big blue for the first time, or a seasoned diver looking for a stylish accompaniment on your underwater missions, sporting one of the best dive watches on your wrist can elevate your subaquatic adventure to the next level. Admittedly, dive computers have more or less taken over the job traditionally held by diving watches—that of measuring depth and time spent in the water and using this information to plan ascents.
That said, diving timepieces continue to be highly popular choices when it comes to men’s luxury wrist-watches. Perhaps it’s the knowledge that you have a high-tech tool on your wrist—one with an exhilarating history of being used by military professionals and underwater explorers. Maybe it’s the reassurance that comes with knowing that if you took an accidental dive—perhaps falling into a swimming pool on holiday, for example—your watch would survive and live to tell the tale. Or perhaps you’re simply in the market for a rugged and robust tool watch that will withstand life’s beatings and batterings. Not to mention a watch that could serve as a lifeline in itself—if you ever got into deep water (quite literally).
