Talk of the Town
One of the biggest segments on watches is dive watches. Here at Luca and Romeo we understand your love for scuba diving. We know that after a long week at the office, you’re dying to fire up the private jet and hit the Galapagos Islands. So we put together our picks of the 5 best dive watches under $1000 (We decided on $1000 so you have some money left over to gas up the jet).
Citizen
Citizen Makes a Splash
The Promaster Dive 44mm, is apart of Citizen’s flagship dive watch line. It’s equipped with Citizen’s patented Eco-Drive solar technology, 200mm water resistance, and a stainless steel case. It comes on a polyurethane strap which makes it a comfortable all-day wear rather wet or dry.
The Citizen Promaster Dive 44mm is priced at $375.
Swatch/Tissot
A Star in the Deepest Sea
The Tissot Seastar brings a harmonious marriage of elegance and technology. It features 300 meters of water resistance, a uni-directional rotating bezel, and Super-Luminova for low light viewing. It also has the added flexibility of interchangeable straps and bracelets, to match any occasion.
The Tissot Seastar is priced at $475.
Mido
The Ocean's Brightest
This sporty Swiss watch is water resistant up to 200 meters of water resistance, an automatic movement with 80 hours of power reserve, and a case shape that provides extra protection for the screw down crown.
The MIDO Ocean Star 200 is priced at $980.
Squale
The Odd Ball
The Squale 1545 may be a bit off the beaten path, but it shouldn’t be.
It features the automatic Selita SW200-1 movement (which hacks and hand winds), 300 meters of water resistance, and a solid screwdown caseback. There are many dial combinations, but our personal pick is the grey dial with orange accents.
You can pick up the Squale 1545 for $910.
Marathon
Small but Mighty
The Marathon TSAR is a smaller version of the Marathon dive watches. By the way, MSAR stands for Medium Search And Rescue. Marathon is a Canadian company that produces watches to the Canadian and U.S. militaries.
The TSAR features 300 meters of water resistance and a 3 jeweled quartz movement. However, the coolest feature is the tritium gas tubes used on the hour markers along with the seconds and minute hand. These are self-illuminating gas tubes that contain an isotope of hydrogen. That’s a long way of saying that the illumination will not dull down in brightness like normal painted lume.
The Marathon 41MM TSAR Quartz, is priced at $900.
