Thread: +++++ What's your favorite dive watch(es) of all time ? +++++

  1. #11
    A really tough question. I think for me, it'd be the Doxa Sub series. I have a 1000T that's in regular rotation... and it just feels nautical on the wrist. The company itself has a vast - and underrated - history in maritime exploration and dive watch development.

    Yes, the DOXA Sub series is another iconic dive watch with a lot of history.
    Under the top five for sure.

    I own a 300T Divingstar.

    I'm wearing mine today, trying to break in a new one piece NATO. Giving the bracelet a break.

    Digging this thread!

    I really like my PO (and I also liked my SMP "Bond"). I classify these as "dressy" divers, but they can surely get the job done.



    Another one I've owned in the past (a couple of times) is the Sinn U1. Similar to the Tuna (which is awesome in all its iterations), I see it as a no-nonsense tool watch. Submarine metal and 1,000 meters on a fairly comfortable 44mm case (which wears smaller)... it was comfortable on my barely 7" wrist. Great legibility, awesome bezel action... and it just looks so cool





    And now, for the one I don't own (yet) but would be the greatest "if I only had one watch" for me:



    Someday...

    Oh man, those are all amazing watches. Functional and beautiful. Great selections. I completely agree on the Sea-Dweller. I came close. Painfully, agonizingly, close to buying a Sea-Dweller just last month. But I just couldn't pull the trigger. Even at the abundantly reasonable prices the seller was asking. I'm hoping one day I can muster up the courage to pull the trigger on one, because I'm almost certain it could be my 'one watch'. We'll see.

    Great choices !

    I think all of these are iconic dive watches in their own way.

    The U1 is the real dive watch in this trio.
