Around seventy years ago when they were first envisioned, dive watches were an essential tool for divers to use underwater to track their dive time and therefore the amount of breathing gas they had to work with. Today, many prominent dive watches have evolved into something else altogether, sitting squarely within the world of luxury brands and products. In this video, I'll take a look at ten of the best luxury dive watches on the market. If you think I missed any, be sure to comment down below.

My Omega Seamaster Chrono is 22 years old. Still looks and works beautifully. Back in the year 2000, it was a tough reach. But 22 years later, I’m SO HAPPY I bought it. Since then, I’ve never been interested in a more luxury brand. The Omega filled that need inside me. So, these days, I’m more of BELOW $500 options. And based on my watch box, that has a fun way to collect. From Islander, Hamilton, Tissot, Seiko, Citizen, and even Victorinox, I’ve love exploring watch brands. Even my wife has enjoyed finding larger watches that fit her tiny frame. Who knew she would end up being a dive watch fanatic? Teddy, a great video. But for me, the Seamaster checked and still checks….ALL the boxes.

@Watchdogger 3 года назад

Love my Oris Aquis. I special ordered one with the rubber band. Not afraid to wear it doing anything, and the silicone rubber band is light and breathes better than a bracelet.

@Hrethgir 3 года назад

When I first saw the He escape valve on the Omega Seamaster, I didn't much care for it. But the more I see it, the more I like it, it gives the watch a unique character that seperates it from other dive watches.

I walked into an Omega AD a few weeks ago fully intending to buy a Seamaster 300m. Instead, I walked out with a blue Planet Ocean. The bracelet, bezel, and quick set hour hand totally sold me on the PO.

@reverb508 3 года назад

@@naturalLin It's heavy, but that's not a problem for me; I like feeling the heft on my wrist. As for bulk, I don't think it's too bulky. It's definitely no dress watch, but the curves of the case make it sit well on the wrist. If you're interested, I'd say visit your local AD and try it on. My wrists are pretty small at around 6.75" and I think it fits great despite being a 43 mm watch.

Nice list. I've owned the Tudor BB and Omega Seamaster. They were both very nice watches. Currently I have the Glashutte Original SeaQ Panarama Date. Its a fantastic piece. Over six months it is the most accurate watch I've ever owned (+.33 sec. per day). The lume is also fantastic. It has a 100 hour power reserve, beautiful movement, nice double domed crystal, the bezel is precise and holds strong and the large date is great for my old eyes. Its not inexpensive but I believe, worth the price.

I'm a big dive watch fan myself, my uncle owns a Tudor Pelagos" the version in the video" and it is an awesome piece, the diver I adore most is my 42mm Planet Ocean 2500, it just doesn't get old and I really enjoy it and if I could pick one watch right now money being a non factor I'd buy a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms with no hesitation, it's such a stunner, great list of Diver's Teddy.

Glashütte is criminally underrated. I love that Teddy brings them up frequently. I had the chance to try the JLC Polaris (unfortunately not mine) and that is a lot of watch. The surface of the dial is so rich and the alarm function is a lovely call to the past. A bit on the bigger side though. Great selection!

@thegorn Год назад

Criminally overpriced too.

@anthonystevens8683 3 года назад

A list that I cannot argue with Teddy, great choices. I'll give you my personal top four of the ten in no particular order. - Tudor Pelagos, a tool watch designed as a tool watch and very comfortable to wear, super readable and arguably a modern classic. The fact it has not changed could be seen that there isn't much wrong with it as a 500M tool diver. A thinner version would be welcome but I'm not sure there would be much room to maneuver of they wanted to keep the 500M and auto escape valve. - Omega 300M, fantastic value for the money for a luxury brand, skeleton broadsword hands, ceramic wave dial, symmetry with the date at six, terrific case design and an elegant clasp that has the push button micro adjustment. My personal preference would be the white dial. - Rolex Submariner, preferably without the date. I don't think I need to justify this one. It's a modern incarnation of a classic. - Tudor Blackbay 58, Like the Omega 300M and Submariner it's a watch for all occasions.

@almac9203 2 года назад

@j.j.h.atemycereal 3 года назад

I'm pleasantly surprised that a Black Bay that WASN'T the 58 was mentioned! One of the advantages of the BB line is, as Teddy mentioned, the variety of sizes, materials, and features available. But a minor quibble; the "Black Bay 41" mentioned is actually the larger, bezel-less model. I think Teddy meant the OG "Black Bay Heritage" model.

@trinity3422 Год назад

You definitely called the case size options with the Tudor Pelagos in this video. Personally, I would’ve loved to pick a Tudor Pelagos in either size because it’s more of a tool watch, but what breaks it for me is the titanium. That’s a selling point for most, but if I’m wearing a tool watch I want to feel it on my wrist, I can’t feel the Pelagos on my wrist which if it falls off or is stolen, and I can’t feel it gone, what’s the point of the tool watch now. Just my opinion. I love it outside of that one aspect.

@christophneuschaeffer7489 3 года назад

This is a nice list of dive watches indeed. If you talk about Germany and Glashütte, don't forget to look at the Nomos Ahoi Atlantik with or without date or the newer neomatik version of it. I own the Nomos Ahoi Atlantik with date and although the official depth guarantee is »only« 200 meters or 20 ATM, internal tests proved that the watch can stand way more than that. Every real diver knows that 40 to 60 meters is the range you are diving at unless you are a professional diver. The watch is just gorgeous to look at and the quality of the case and clockwork is top notch. As the back is with sapphire glas as well, you can watch how it works. Diameter is 40 mm - for me the right size, because anything larger than 41 mm is too big for my wrist. Price is at 3.600 Euros, but luckily I got mine second hand for less. Definitely a watch you can and should dive with.

@pistonburner6448 3 года назад

Same, and I'd consider the Carl F. Bucherer Patravi Scubatec too. The Rado loses nothing compared to those other mass-market (even though Rado is more popular in some markets, in the USA and Europe I believe as a dive watch and to the general public Rado is more original of a choice) unoriginal choices and adds unique elements and USPs to go well ahead of them IMO. Far better value too. I mean compare Rado's ceramic monobloc case with transparent front and back to those ordinary cookie-cutter things! The Carl F. Bucherer is so much more exclusive, so refined and has arguably higher quality (well, measurably too since it's a certified chronometer) and better features (helium valve etc.) than those other super-boring choices and the price for all that is a steal.

@gregalonzo747 3 года назад

@TheChadWork2001 3 года назад

I was glad to see the Tudor Pelagos was #1.

@tritone11 2 года назад

I honestly think the Omegas look the best, and they look more expensive than they are.

@mrmr-vr7vh 3 года назад

the Planet Ocean is somewhat missing, at least as an honorable mention. - if you don't like the vintage style of the 300 - and if you don't like the strange hands of the 300M SMP you can go to a Planet Ocean ;)

Guess I'm the odd man out, but I'm always drawn to the arabic numerals on a watch dial. That said, my fav's are the Fifty Fathoms, Memovox, and the SeaQ. Nice review!

@yankeesandgiants1886 3 года назад

Agreed. I want some numbers on the dial. I had 2 SeaQs. Traded off a Panoramo date last week but still have the smaller black dial. I like the Blancpain and the JLC as well.

@BFit25 3 года назад

Sea Deweller. But from this list BB58. Pick up a strap and it’s great daily wear and can be beat around a bit.

@no1rc3ur 3 года назад

That Seamaster 300 is a beauty, next piece for sure!

@kurtis636 3 года назад

Just bought a blue Pelagos yesterday. It's the best actual diver in the Rolex family and at under $5k it's great value. Yes, the Submariner is the daddy of all sports watches, but it's less capable than the Pelagos. Doesn't matter since most will never get it wet let alone dive, but if you're looking for a legit expression of a dive watch check it out.

Your thumbnail Seamaster looks like the new Seiko SRPG05J1, but the Seiko is very cheap and better sized. Love the Seamaster and owned the bond version, but was way to thick, not sure if they have thinned the movement

@drfathertime 3 года назад

Depends on which bond you are referring to, but coaxial made it thicker if anything

@ocb05 3 года назад

You kidding me? Those panerais which are worth of diver title, are either long gone or discontinued. Current panerai launches are just jokes.

@stephanwilliot2324 2 года назад

Great video, my head is spinning from all the choices. I’ve always been a fan of the IWC Aquatimer but the ETA mouvement? Can you tell more? Is there a video on this watch? Thanks.

@bwanagoes 3 года назад

Very topical as I am keen to buy my grail watch as soon as I have covered off all the other priorities in my life (I guess my kid has to go to school, right?). GO SeaQ Panorma Date is the one so far. Elder sibling to the GO SeaQ on Teddy’s list. Keep ‘em coming Teddy!

@Val_Cosmos 2 года назад

It's a tie between the JLC and the GO (big date) here imo. Both are unique and are held to the highest standard.

@hruff1985 Год назад

I was hoping to see the Doxa Sub 300T or the Sinn UX on the list, but I understand you were keeping it to 10.

@skyworks1621 3 года назад

I did step into luxury dive watches a month ago with a Tudor Pelagos. Since day one i have problems with the bezel which feel of after 2 days just by turning and now after service in Rolex store I did go swiming and when I came out of water the bezel did not turn. Iam probably the only one with such problems with this beautifull watch. Watching this video I find Omega Seamaster 300 really good looking.

I really like Sinn's dive watches: the use of submarine steel and quartz/oil filled cases seems both utilitarian and unique. I particularly love the UX EZM 2 B GSG9 Black on Bracelet as it pays tribute to Germany's elite special operations unit.

@chinthaka22 3 года назад

if i had to choose, i'd go with the blue Seamaster 300, the helium escape valve, the movement and the 15,000 gauss anti-magnetic feature makes it an engineering marvel when compared with the other watches.

@jh-il5sb 3 года назад

it's a cool watch but i wouldn't say a manual helium escape valve is an engineering marvel......that wart at 10 o'clock is the only thing that keeps me from getting a 300.
