Rolex Submariner

This list is in no particular order, but if you had to pick number one, it would have to be the Rolex Submariner. Even if you think it’s boring and overpriced, there really is no arguing with it. In fact, there’s a watch that almost everyone on the planet can recognize, even if they know nothing about watches, that can’t be replicated – and it has the strongest claim of all to being the first commercially available dive watch.

Omega Seamaster Professional Diver 300M

The opposite of the Submariner’s yin and yang, there are many different versions of the Omega Seamaster, but the Diver 300M is one of the most famous. Having graced the wrist of Pierce Brosnan’s James Bond, the Omega Seamaster Professional Diver 300M is another example of a watch that has both a great reputation and technical excellence. Compared to its mid-1990s eccentricity, the latest version of the Seamaster Diver 300M remains suave while still being rugged. The modern laser-cut ceramic wave dial is contemporary without being alienating, and the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8800 is a movement you’ll be proud to peer through the sapphire caseback. replica Jacob and Co.

Seiko SKX / Seiko 5 Sports

Seiko’s dive watches have been favored by professionals since the 1960s, but it was the SKX of the late 1990s that ultimately made the biggest impact on watch culture. Offering an affordable 200-meter water resistance rating not only made it popular among divers and casual wearers, but it also allowed people to do things they wouldn’t dare try with a luxury Swiss watch. Seiko’s streamlined production and dramatic changes to references made it possible to modify them by swapping compatible components, and eventually third parties began manufacturing custom parts specifically for watch modification. After the SKX was discontinued, it was this idea of ​​personalization that evolved into the Seiko 5 Sports collection, which, aside from the 100-meter water resistance, is as iconic as ever. replica Richard Mille RM 35 Rafael Nadal

Doxa SUB 300T

The first consumer dive watch to feature a helium release valve, the Doxa SUB 300T, developed with the participation of legendary oceanographer Jacques Cousteau, is an underrated dive watch legend. The modern incarnation of the SUB 300T features a uniquely padded case, is available in a range of eye-catching dial colours (none more striking or famous than the Professional Orange dial option), and is actually water-resistant to an impressive 1,200 metres, rather than the 300 metres the name would suggest.

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms

Last year, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms became one of the world’s first dive watches in collaboration with Swatch and remains a striking timepiece. Slightly more luxurious than the Rolex Submariner, the world’s first commercial dive watch, the modern Fifty Fathoms has a strong power reserve, a sophisticated movement and a winning vintage aesthetic – whether it’s the military styling of the 90s-style Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe or the 50s look of the Fifty Fathoms Automatic – the Fifty Fathoms is an iconic watch. replica Chopard Watches

Tudor Black Bay 58
While some might argue that the Tudor Black Bay 58 is too closely related to the Rolex Submariner, it has had a significant and lasting impact in its own right. Tudor, Rolex's relatively budget cousin, has grown significantly over the past two decades, releasing products that focus on the traditional period of the 50s and 60s. The Black Bay line was already quite popular, but the Black Bay 58 caused an absolute sensation when people discovered its ergonomic size. Its release in 2018 marked the beginning of watch enthusiasts paying attention to metrics such as lug-to-lug length as a measure of wearability, which affected watch design across the board. Plus, its vintage styling and COSC-certified movement make it a great watch in every way.

Zodiac Super Sea Wolf
Last but not least, we have the Super Sea Wolf from Zodiac, another Swiss brand with a rich heritage in dive watches. The original Sea Wolf was released in the 1950s, around the same time as the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms and Rolex Submariner, but has always stood out due to its affordability and Zodiac’s playful willingness to use color. The modern Super Sea Wolf continues this stylish tradition, offering a range of colorful bezel and dial options, combined with rugged tool watch construction and extremely legible design. replica Breitling Superocean Heritage
