Here, we get a no-date, 39mm titanium cased, no nonsense beaut. Something that Tudor finally addressed with this offering. Rounding out this list, and the catalyst behind it’s creation, is the Tudor Pelagos 39.įor years, the original Tudor Pelagos was considered the diver’s dive watch. However, it’s still available for purchase on Zodiac’s website at the time of writing. And the 300 metre water resistance solidifies the fact that this is indeed a “Pro-Diver”. The COSC-certified Sellita SW200- movement ticking inside should ensure above average timekeeping. There’s the classic engineer bracelet as well as the included strap, both of which should provide a great fit on the wrist. Yet behind all the fun and summer watch vibes is a beast of a diver. It’s lime green and tangerine colour scheme are in line with what Zodiac has offered on multiple Sea Wolf releases in the past. Price: $1295 USD Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Pro-Diver Titanium Limited Edition Model ZO3550įor those of you looking for a titanium diver that’s a bit more fun, there is Zodiac’s 42mm Super Sea Wolf Pro-Diver Titanium Limited Edition. And like the Certina above, it has an on-the-fly micro adjustment clasp, which comes in handy on a hot summer day. Something I’m always looking for in a diver. The shrouded bezel, bright orange minute hand and the textures used throughout give the watch a very rugged, purpose-built look and feel. You can get the size you want without sacrificing on comfort. It’s is a perfect example of why a Titanium Diver is so appealing. Or as comfortable, which I immediately enjoyed once on the wrist. Something this big shouldn’t be this light. Yet the moment I picked it up, my mind needed a moment to compute. At 46mm, it has all the wrist presence you would ever need, in spades. When I first saw the Citizen Promaster Dive Automatic, I immediately realised this is a big watch. Price: CHF 1055 (With VAT) Citizen Promaster Dive Automatic Model NB6004-83E In the end, you walk away from Certina’s DS Action Diver realising just how much value they’ve packed into it.
The clasp also has on-the-fly micro adjustment (#winning)! But what brings everything together is the greyish hue and lightness of the titanium case.Īnd one more thing. And the tan-coloured lume, when coupled with the glossiness of the dial and ceramic bezel, in my opinion, looks great. The watch also benefits from the Powermatic 80 ticking inside, providing a much appreciated 80 hours of power reserve. Especially when you start taking a closer look at Certina’s DS Action Diver.Īt 43mm and with a 50mm lug-to-lug, the watch has a nice presence on the wrist. With that being said, seeing as those two brands exist under the same ownership umbrella, I’m perfectly fine with it. This design is reminiscent of a certain Omega 007 timepiece.
Not only does the change offset the increase in size, but it also gives the watch a more toolish, purpose-built appeal. The icing on the cake was the brand using titanium instead of stainless steel. This was a evolution that showed everyone how Baltic’s design ethos looks in a modern diver. Add to that a bump in size to 41mm and it was clear to see this watch was nothing like the Aquascaphe Classic. From the incorporation of a brushed ceramic bezel to a simpler, less vintagey look. Yet with these new reference (one in blue and a black version pictured above), the brand tweaked multiple aspects of the design. When news came out that Baltic would release a titanium version of it’s Aquascaphe diver earlier this year, many chalked it up as just a change in metal. With that in mind, here are five titanium divers, under 5k, released in 2022, that make excellent use of the material. Especially for the subset of watches most of us enjoy: divers. These specific properties make titanium an ideal choice for a watch. The material, known for it’s lighter weight when compared to stainless steel, brings many benefits to the table from its resistance to corrosion to it’s hypoallergenic properties. Yet, in the last year, brands have dived head first into the use of the more exotic titanium. Stainless-steel, by and large, is the most popular metal used on timepieces today.
