The release of the 007 movie "No Time To Die" has been postponed to later this year, and although we’re excited to see the latest Omega Seamaster 300m on James Bond’s wrist, that doesn’t mean we have to forego cool dive watch related content until then. Today I share 9 affordable alternative divers that have also seen action on the wrists of prestigious militaries from around the world, priced from $200 to $10,000.
We’ve explored Omega's involvement with military timepieces, including the production of watches for the MOD, SBS, SAS, RAF, and of course, James Bond himself. Now, let’s take an in-depth look at some of the most underrated military watches you can buy for less (and sometimes far less) than the asking price of the latest Omega Seamaster (Ref. 210.90.42.20.01.001) which retails at $9,200 new. With its deeply vintage military inspired design and style, what else can you get for that money?
Join me for a deep dive into a world where quality, precision, toughness, reliability, and function are a matter of life or death for some of the most elite military organizations.

I was an infantryman. I served with a ton of Rangers and a few Green Berets. Got to do some training alongside SWCC and observed MARSOC on occasion. Also, I now have a SEAL buddy. The one thing we all had in common was our watches. Omega? Rolex? Tudor? Citizen? No, we all wore Casio G-Shocks.

As a former gov't trigger-puller, I deplore the absence of the ubiquitous Casio Dw-5600 and its variants.

Why do they say, little brother of rolex, Tudor i mean. Is it a subsidiary of Rolex? I always hear that. Why is the Tudor submariner not just an homage watch? People crack on invicta as being a homage or rip off Rolex but they dont say about Tudor?

TGV you and Hugo need your own sitcom lol. Love the back and forth between you too. An Omega is on my wish list. For now I've got my trusty Casio Duro as my diver.

TGV if you need alcohol in Philly, you must partake on a secret mission. Take I95 south about 30 miles, get off at the last exit in PA, Chichester. Turn on your GPS and look up liquor stores in Delaware. DO NOT go to Total Wine, Delaware State Police park out of that alcohol superstore regularly looking for out of state tags to ticket. However there are plenty of smaller Delaware liquor stores just over the border that would love your business. Pennsylvania liquor laws are ridiculous, even pre-pandemic.

I'm glad you included the Citizen, it's such an underrated watch, the real SKX killer.

Have you priced Submariners lately? LOL With how affordable a Seamaster is ...who needs an alternative! =) And honestly after Rolex prices went north of 5K for stainless dive watches.. Omega is the best bang for buck when it comes to luxury brands. And the CoAxial movement is heirloom quality with longer service intervals. Even if you pickup an older Seamaster you're still getting amazing quality, good looks, and brand recognition at a reasonable price. Best of all...Omega doesn't limit production to artificially inflate their prices.

Just bought a NY0040 last month, factory refurbished, for a steal of a price. I just love the retro look of it, looks marvelous!

Love the history of the super compressor and the JLC, SO underrated! Amazing work as always and exactly what we watch nuts need in this time 😀. Thank you!

As ever, impeccably researched. Thank you. Perfect timing as I'm looking to expand my diver and field watch collections - some great food for thought there. As a Brit, CWC is on the radar as well although their divers feel a little over priced.

Hey man. Appreciate all the content you’ve ever made. I like the parts where you narrate over different art work or pictures about the history of the watches/ companies etc. could be an entire series on its own

Hi TGV. I wanted to thank you for the entertainment. I have been following your channel for a while now. I plumped for a Citizen NY0040 (blue dial) after watching your videos on it over and over. It was my first ‘beater’ watch but has become my everyday favourite. I also bought NATO straps after watching your videos in which you have unwavering passion for them. Keep up the great work. Jolly good show, my man! =]

So glad you put the NY0040 on the list! I have the one with the blue sunburst dial and it's phenomenal. It's also super cool that it's been tested by the military to 500 meters despite being rated for 200.

I love how much history and breadth I get from your "watch list" videos! I know hundreds of RU-vidrs will point to the popular watch currently offering the best "value for money," but you highlight such a broad range, even in a category that seems well-covered. Keep it up!!

Great content TGV! All your recommendations are amazing watches. I would have added the CWC Royal Navy diver to make it a top ten list.
