Here’s one for the bigger-wristed among us, the Seiko Prospex SLA042, known among Seiko fans as the “Golden Tuna”, due to its resemblance to a tin of the aforementioned fish. But no matter which colour you prefer, you can find your own in T+T’s Shop right here. I personally love the classic bright orange of the Professional dial, especially when amplified by that steeply domed sapphire crystal. The Sub 300 Carbon weighs just 87 grams, but still boasts a 300 metre rating, and it’s a certified chronometer to boot. Legendary among serious divers (including famed explorer Jacques Cousteau), Doxa has seen a remarkable resurgence of late, due to their heritage, their famed durability, and those retina-searing coloured dials. Speaking of lightweight timepieces with heavyweight specs, the Doxa Sub 300 Carbon has some unimpeachable diving cred. Doxa Sub 300 Carbon Professional – US$3,890
Whatever your choice, it won’t weigh you down, as the titanium case’s weight is a scant 53 grams sans strap. The dial’s look is all business in black, white, and grey, and you can order yours on a coordinating black or grey silicone strap, or a titanium bracelet. But don’t let the smaller size fool you, the T50 is water resistant to 500 metres, and the case is filled with gas that prevents fogging from sudden cold.
For those that find Sinn’s 45mm T1 a bit too much, the T50 clocks in at a very wearable 41mm diameter, with a case height of just 12.3mm. Germany’s Sinn is known for their capable timepieces with a cult-like following, and the titanium T50 is one of their most competent. In fact, it wouldn’t look out of place in the cockpit of an SR-71 Blackbird, and the GMT functionality would come in quite handy while blazing across time zones at Mach 3, but if you happen to bail out at sea, trust me, you’re covered. A serious dive tool, the 42mm Super Sea Wolf LHD Pro-Diver GMT is a 300 metre badass in stark white-on-black, with discrete pops of orange that give it a flight instrument look. Known for colourful releases that bring eye-catching hues to their updated classics, this one’s a bit outside the box, with a super-stealthy black countenance that’s no less arresting. Zodiac Super Sea Wolf LHD Pro-Diver GMT – US$2,295įirst up is one of those leftfield choices, and it’s from one of my absolute favourite brands, Zodiac. Here (in order of ascending price) are my five fave dive watch picks under 5K. And while everyone has their own personal favourites, I think my admittedly subjective selections under $5,000 are pretty solid, with a few leftfield choices holding their own among some undisputed heavy hitters. Hannayĭivers are still some of the most popular watches on the market, even for those of us whose boldest underwater adventures consist of a quick dip on a beach vacation.
