Ship shape
Only 1,000 editions of this dapper diving watch were created to mark the 50th anniversary of its 1968 design. An athletic strap further updates its look and it’s rated to a relatively shallow – but still altogether practical – 200 metres.

Aqua fine
While its titanium case in a contemporary shape makes the Oris Regulateur “Der Meistertaucher” quite the looker, its maker emphasizes a safety-first focus with the addition of a dedicated minute display.

Go under
While a Rolex Sea-Dweller can dive to 1,220 metres, this Deepsea model can go deeper, descending to 3,900 metres. Its handsome Oyster bracelet guarantees the watch will still be on your wrist when you surface.
