I think there are so many iconic dive watches in the past and now and with a lot of history.
This dive watches should be mentioned in this thread !

So let's see what your choice is !

It does not matter whether you possess the watch or not.
You can post more than one watch. I know there are more than a watch that can favors.

Here we go...

I start the thread with this one:

SEIKO 7549-7009 Professional Diver's 600m

> released by SEIKO in 1978
> world's first saturation diving watch featuring a quartz movement

This watch is one of my favorite dive watches of all time !
Love the overall look of this one. Especially the unique look of the shroud and monocoque case.

I was a lucky guy. I found this one on e.ay. For a very good price. This one is almost NOS.

James Bond already trusts this watch.



...what a beauty

This is a very tough one to narrow down, Phil. Let me think about it for a bit and I'll be back.

Absolutely right Gabe. It's a tough decision.

So I am excited what's your favorite is.

Mine is my daily wearer, the Planet Ocean (2500), but I could easily be tempted with a submariner (of any era) or sea dweller. There's something about the PO that draws me in every time. I think it's the broad arrow style hands. I love catching them in just the right light, and every time I do, I wish I could take a pic with my eyes, because it's very hard to capture it with a camera.

The Omega PO is an really nice watch.
Sporty and dressy at the same time.

The 5513 of Mr Tempocalypse fit the bill perfectly for me:

-simple H-M-S that's all
-not too big
-sturdy
-excellent readability IMHO

The problem the watch is difficult to find & very expensive

My personnal suggestion :
-In house movement
-bigger case dimensions
-date complication

The MM300 is an iconic dive watch fore sure.
It's hard to beat that one.
