Buying guide: how to choose your first dive watch

A dive watch needs a unidirectional bezel, legible luminous markers, a screw-down crown and a rating of at least 200 m. Beyond that it is about size and character: the Submariner and Seamaster 300M at 41–42 mm, the Black Bay 58 and Pelagos 39 for smaller wrists, the Fifty Fathoms and Submersible for presence.

Use the filters on the dive watches collection to compare case sizes, materials and prices side by side.
