Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Tech
Earlier this summer, Blancpain expanded its Fifty Fathoms Tech lineup with a new model housed in a 47 mm titanium case. The latest addition to the Fifty Fathoms Tech (Ref. 5019A) family, which joined the brand’s collections last year, stands out with its orange seconds hand that creates a striking contrast against the black dial and bezel. The watch is water-resistant to 300 metres. The finishing touch comes in the form of an orange rubber strap. As a reminder from the very beginning of this selection, orange remains one of the easiest colours to read underwater.
Longines Legend Diver 59
With its textured black dial, polished stainless-steel case and refined beads-of-rice bracelet, the Legend Diver 59 earns its place on this list as one of the season’s most elegant dive watches. It is also among the newest models introduced by Longines this year. Water-resistant to 300 metres, the watch is housed in a 42 mm stainless-steel case. Its 60-minute bezel is positioned beneath the sapphire crystal, while its operation is controlled via the crown located at 2 o’clock. A diver engraving on the caseback further reinforces the model’s unmistakable diving character.
Doxa SUB 200 II
A dive watch with a story to tell, the SUB 200 II remains one of Doxa’s most iconic models. Crafted in a 44 mm stainless-steel case, the watch offers water resistance to 200 metres. Its blue dial, which gradually darkens from the centre toward the edges, creates a compelling sense of depth. A matching blue rubber strap enhances the harmony of the colour scheme. In addition to blue, the collection is available with green, grey, red and black dials. Those seeking a different look can also opt for Doxa’s signature stainless-steel beads-of-rice bracelet.
Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean
One of the leading names in the world of dive watches, Omega expanded its celebrated Seamaster collection with new Seamaster Planet Ocean models at the end of last year. Presented in a 42 mm titanium case, the new Seamaster Planet Ocean watches offer an impressive water resistance of up to 600 metres. The collection is available with blue, black and orange bezel options, and for this selection we chose the vibrant orange version. A seahorse motif engraved on the caseback pays tribute to the Seamaster legacy. Buyers can choose between a stainless-steel bracelet or an orange rubber strap that complements the bezel colour perfectly.
Oris Aquis Pro 1000M
Water-resistant to an impressive 1,000 metres, the Oris Aquis Pro 1000M is a professional dive watch developed in collaboration with professional divers. Housed in a 49.50 mm titanium case, the model features Oris’ proprietary RSS (Rotation Safety System), a locking mechanism designed to prevent the bezel from moving unintentionally underwater. Its dial, shaded from a lighter blue at the centre to a deeper tone at the edges, evokes the movement and depth of ocean waves. Combined with a dark blue bezel and matching blue rubber strap, the watch leaves no doubt about its purpose as a serious diving instrument.
Panerai Luminor (PAM01735)
For those who wish to wear a dive watch inspired by a timepiece originally created for the Italian Navy, Panerai’s new Luminor model earns its place on this list with its distinctive vintage character. The matte ivory sandwich dial and dark brown leather strap enhance the watch’s retro aesthetic, while the Super-LumiNova applied to the hands and hour markers ensures excellent legibility. Water-resistant to 100 metres, the watch is housed in a 47 mm stainless-steel case.
Tag Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph
Creating a striking contrast with the blue accents on its black dial and crown, the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph offers water resistance to 200 metres and is housed in a 40 mm titanium case. Paired with a titanium bracelet, the watch delivers exceptional comfort thanks to its lightweight construction. The black dial contrasts elegantly with rhodium-plated indexes and a blue seconds hand, while the blue detail on the crown further reinforces the model’s distinctive visual identity. Powering the watch is the Solargraph Calibre TH50-00 movement.
