The team at the Worn & Wound WindUp Store have a stellar selection to choose from for those men seeking a dive watch so check out our pick of 8 of the best below:
Bulova Oceanographer GMT Watch – $795
Crafted with great attention to detail, the Oceanographer GMT offers a stainless steel case that reinforces its robustness. Its double curved sapphire box crystal protects the dial, guarantees ultimate clarity and longevity. This timepiece boasts a uni-directional rotating bezel, allowing you to effortlessly track elapsed time during dives or other activities.
Zodiac RedBar Super Sea Wolf Pro-Diver Watch – $2295
The genesis of this collaboration lies in a distinctive detail from Zodiac’s past: the 1990s Point Series. Within this collection of technical timepieces, the “Red Dot” watches stood out as rugged diving companions, their identity cemented by a simple yet powerful red dot positioned between the 4 and 5 hour markers. Recognizing the enduring appeal of this iconic red dot, Zodiac partnered with RedBar to reimagine and resurrect this beloved design for today’s enthusiasts.
Laco Atacama Squad Watches – $640
As the most contemporary offering in Laco’s elite “Squad Watch” collection, the Atacama was engineered for those who demand peak performance – think military personnel, firefighters, and law enforcement. Its 46mm black PVD-coated stainless steel case exudes modern toughness, complemented by incredible water resistance, innovative flexible lugs, and a distinctive 12 o’clock crown that lends it a gauge-like presence on the wrist. Whether you opt for the automatic time-only model or the practical quartz UTC version, the Atacama is a versatile tool built for situations where compromise is off the table. Both are finished with a matching black rubber strap.
Seiko 5 SKX Sports Style – $325
While Seiko’s professional diving pedigree now largely resides within the PROSPEX family, the SKX Sports, a proud member of the “Seiko 5 Sports” lineage, still carries the torch for the legendary durability and versatility that have defined Seiko 5 watches since the swinging sixties. Don’t let the 42.5mm diameter fool you; its well-considered 46mm lug-to-lug distance and 13.4mm thickness ensure a surprisingly comfortable wrist presence. The familiar Seiko 5 push/pull crown sits at its signature 4 o’clock position – a potential adjustment for hardcore dive watch aficionados accustomed to screw-down security. However, with a solid 100 meters of water resistance, the SKX Sports is more than capable of handling your daily aquatic adventures, from swimming to accidental splashes, all framed by a practical unidirectional timing bezel.
Tissot Seastar 1000 Powermatic 80 40mm – $725
The Tissot Seastar 1000 isn’t afraid to make a statement, blending a bold aesthetic with serious underwater credentials, all while remaining surprisingly affordable. Its gradient textured dial and exceptional finishing catch the eye, but it’s the unseen-in-class 80-hour power reserve that truly impresses. Encased in a 40mm 316L stainless steel body with a screw-down crown and caseback, this watch is ready for depths of up to 300 meters. Clarity is key on the dial, thanks to elegantly applied markers and thick, easily readable hands, with Tissot’s distinctive “T” adorning the seconds hand. The unidirectional diver’s bezel, featuring detailed markings for the initial twenty minutes, adds to its functionality. Finished with Super-LumiNova for excellent visibility and a combination of polished and brushed surfaces on its solid stainless steel bracelet, the Seastar 1000 manages to be both refined and remarkably capable.
Marathon Original Search and Rescue with Date – $1599
The Marathon OSAR is a no-nonsense tool watch built for serious tasks. Encased in a robust 41mm surgical-grade 316L stainless steel, it boasts a formidable 300-meter water resistance, secured in part by its substantial knurled screw-down crown. While its sibling, the SAR, is famed for its tritium lume, the OSAR harks back to the original with classic printed markers featuring MaraGlo for reliable nighttime visibility. A prominent cyclops lens, magnifying the date by 1.5 times, ensures quick and easy reading. For missions where every second counts, the unidirectional 120-click bezel is fully graduated, offering precise timing capabilities.
Alpina Seastrong Diver Extreme Automatic – $2295
The Alpina Seastrong Diver Extreme offers a refreshing take on the dive watch with its eye-catching 39mm square case, boasting an impressive 300-meter water resistance. Despite its unique shape, the Diver Extreme is surprisingly versatile on the wrist, fitting comfortably thanks to its well-considered lug-to-lug distance. The dial is where this watch truly shines, with bold triangular serrations creating a texture that’s exclusive to this model. Available in striking black, blue, and vibrant orange, each dial option comes paired with either a stylish semi-integrated stainless steel bracelet or a sporty strap, allowing you to tailor your look.
Oris Divers Sixty-Five ‘Cotton Candy’ – $3200
The Oris Divers Sixty-Five has already proven a smash hit for the independent Swiss brand, with its diverse range aiming to please every wrist. Now, Oris is injecting a burst of fun into the lineup with the bronze-cased “Cotton Candy” edition. Available in three fresh and cheerful colorways, this playful take on the Sixty-Five is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and a comfortable fit to your wrist. But don’t let the whimsical dial colors fool you – beneath the candy coating, the “Cotton Candy” boasts the same robust engineering and specifications that define the rest of the esteemed Divers Sixty-Five family.
