A 2000m Dive Watch For Under $500? Yes, This Weekend Only

The Deep Blue Master 2000 is arguably one of the cheapest ways to get into seriously go-balls-deep dive watches, because at 2000m rated there is nothing on the watch market that matches this spec, at this bargain price. OK, apart from deep wreck explorers and oil rig repair teams, we cannot think of anyone who really needs to venture 2000m, or over 6,000 feet under … Continue reading A 2000m Dive Watch For Under $500?

Need to Go Deep? The Squale Master X is 1200m Rated

Summer Watches: This Luminox Rocks. It’s a Quartz Though

If you told me that this Luminox Pacific Diver, with its beefy 44mm case width, 200m of resistance and bright turquoise colours, had a Sellita SW200 movement inside, then I’d be shouting take my money. Even at £779, it’s a superb diver; unidirectional bezel, screwdown crown, sapphire crystal, bright, great lume too. But there’s a Ronda quartz movement in there and so the price point … Continue reading Summer Watches: This Luminox Rocks. It’s a Quartz Though
