SINN DIVING WATCH U2
With a case crafted out of German submarine steel, few watches are as suited to live underwater as the Sinn u2. And with the ability to track a second time zone, the u2 is equally comfortable on the wrists of jet setters. $5,300
SEIKO SPRING DRIVE TUNA SBDB009
Sporting a distinctive titanium shroud and case, the Spring Tuna SBDB009 was specially developed for professional divers. It features Seiko’s unique Spring Drive movement, a hybrid electro-mechanical movement that keeps to within +1/-1 accuracy per day. $6,242
ORIS DIVERS SIXTY-FIVE
Modeled to look like Oris dive watches from the Sixties, the Oris Diver Sixty-Five features indices and hands coated with special “light old radium” paint to resemble the aged dials of watches from that era. $2,750
OMEGA SEAMASTER PLANET OCEAN CO-AXIAL MASTER CHRONOMETER
This is one of the few watches in the world to earn the rigorous METAS (Swiss Federal Institute for Metrology) certification, which means the watch is highly impervious to magnetic fields and incredibly accurate. $8,850
