Part of what attracts men to a dive watch is their ease and utility. Their casual aesthetic and rugged appearance make the dive watch a popular style amongst mens watches. Generally speaking, dive mens watches tend to be waterproof (to a minimum of 100 meters) and have a style-statement rotating bezel that–practically–helps count dive times, and visually makes a statement. The dive watch traditionally also boasts a thick crystal face with luminescence that makes it easy to read in dark places. After all, this is a watch style that was intended to be used underwater.
Esquire dubs the Seiko Diver as “the most gorgeous timepiece, with Rolex-worthy aesthetics and a fantastic automatic movement.” And here at eWatches we have a number of models worthy of such acclaim.
