Three of the BEST Luxury Dive Watches with Fraser Hart

Dive watches are the most popular watch category on the market today. Even though most of us who own them aren't actually divers, there's just something about the nature of a dive watch that has an inherent appeal. For me, it's the fact that modern dive watches blend great aesthetics with impressive specifications. They can be both smart enough to wear to the office, and tough enough to take hiking.

Now there’s a lot of choice out there, and it can be hard to pick out which watches offer good value for money. So, we thought would be a good idea to partner up with our friends over at Fraser Hart and give you our pick of three of the best luxury dive watches on the market.

There's plenty of luxury dive watches on the market right now, so we've picked out three of our luxury favourites...

First up is the Longines Legend Diver. This watch has been a staple of Longines’ catalogue for many years now. It's available in a number of different dial colours, and even a bronze cased option too. It might not be the first watch you think of when it comes to dive watches, but this made our list for a few reasons. Namely, the design is incredibly unique and striking. It takes inspiration from a vintage Longines super compressor, and whilst Longines aren't the only people to take inspiration from the super compressors, the Legend Diver has a truly unique look.

Some specific details I absolutely love include the open 6 and 9 on the dial, the cross hatching of the twin crowns, and the frogman on the case back of the watch. All of which are some beautiful touches that are taken from the vintage dive watch that inspired it.

he 42mm case wears very well, despite its size and the lugs have a lovely downward curve meaning it hugs the wrist very nicely. And at just 12.7mm thick, it doesn't wear too tall either. The mesh bracelet is very well made, and the clasp is excellent, but you should be aware that it only has 3 micro-adjustment positions.

Our next choice is perfect for anyone looking for an out and out tool watch. And it's the Tudor Pelagos Left Hand Drive. Where Tudor’s Black Bay line takes inspiration from the brand’s vintage pieces, the Pelagos offers a very contemporary take on a dive watch.

With the exception of a steel case back, the case and bracelet are titanium, and as a result the watch is ridiculously light. At 42mm wide and 14.45mm thick, the case is on the larger side, but that only lends itself to the toolish aesthetic of the watch. And despite its size, you’re not that aware of the watch on your wrist because it is so light.

As you might have noticed, the watch takes its name from the fact that the crown is actually on the left side of the watch. The practical reason for this is that if you are left-handed, you can wear the watch on your right hand and set the time without taking the watch off. But it's also good if you want to wear the watch on your left hand and not have the crown dig into the back of it. One thing to be aware of with the screw down crown is that the threads aren't reversed, so rather that screwing the crown away from you to tighten it, you actually have to screw it towards you.

Our final pick is the Omega Seamaster Professional Diver 300m. This model has been around since 1993, and it was famously worn by Pierce Brosnan during his tenure as James Bond. The model has changed a lot over the years, but this current edition is the best yet.

Why is that? Well, chiefly because this Seamaster has a newer movement than its predecessors, in the form of the Omega Calibre 8800. This 35-jewel automatic movement has a respectable 55-hour power reserve, is resistant to magnetic fields reaching 15,000 gauss, and it’s a certified chronometer. On top of all that the movement has a co-axial escapement. This type of escapement has reduced friction over a standard lever escapement. The end result being that it provides improved accuracy and longer service intervals.
