Dive watches are today some of the most famous and coveted watches in the horology market. With their durability and versatility, dive watches appeal to both veterans and naives. Indeed, these timepieces can accompany you virtually anywhere and with anything.
While a dive watch is robust enough to be worn underwater, it also pairs well with a suit. However, these timepieces are not only water-resistant but also have some unique features like unidirectional bezel and lume that characterise them.
With this in mind, dive watches may feel weighty in price. However, the fact is that there many luxury dive timepieces in the market that are tailored for all wallets.
Well, the Rolex Submariner is the most recognised and revered dive watch in the world. And the watch’s hefty price tag may not come as a surprise considering its popularity. However, there are many other great options from well-known brands that will suit any budget. Let’s explore three of them here.

1. Breitling Superocean Heritage 42
The Breitling Superocean Heritage watch sports a stainless steel case of 42mm diameter. The watch is available in two dial options – black and blue. However, the dial is accentuated with luminescent hour markers.
- A unidirectional aluminium bezel frames the stainless steel case.
- Moreover, the Superocean Heritage 42 is powered by the Calibre 17 movement.
- The watch is water-resistant up to 200m (660ft).
Overall, the Breitling Superocean Heritage 42 is a magnificent watch. It can offer a parallel competition with the glitzy, older Chronomat and Navitimer watches and a Breitling for Bentley.
2. Tudor Heritage Black Bay
The Tudor Black Bay enjoys extreme popularity and desirability in all its colours and configurations. The watch flaunts a vintage-inspired designed and rugged construction.
The brand released the Black Bay 58 in blue this year’s summer. And the prevailing long waiting list that the watch has today depicts how much popular it is.
However, the interesting fact is that despite such desirability and popularity, this collection's watches do not come with steep prices. Overall, the Tudor Black Bay timepieces are significantly more obtainable and available for standard pocket size.
- The Tudor Black Bay comes in a 41mm stainless steel case and a black luminous dial.
- A unidirectional aluminium bezel frames the case, and the watch comes fitted with a steel bracelet (though Canvas and Leather Straps are also available).
- The watch is water-resistant up to 200m (600ft).
However, Tudor equipped the Black Bay with Calibre MT5602 in-house movement that represents the fine craftsmanship. The watch is a more feasible option than its famous and expensive brother, Rolex.
3. Omega Seamaster Diver 300M
Another popular and attainable diver watch is the Omega Seamaster. Interestingly, this collection grabbed more attention with the launch of the current Seamaster Diver 300M in 2018.
- The upgraded movements, a conical helium valve and an etched wave-patterned dial, made the watch instantly successful.
- You will get a 44mm stainless steel case within an affordable budget, unidirectional Ceramic bezel insert and a stainless steel bracelet.
- It is powered by the Calibre 3330 movement.
And the Omega Seamaster Diver is water-resistant up to a depth of 200m (1,000ft).
