Today, IWC still produces a watch that can be used 2,000m beneath the sea, the Aquatimer 2000 - a watch that appeals to not only professional divers but also ambitious amateur ocean explorers. A match made in heaven - or rather on the bottom of the ocean. One of the coolest ever created by the Swiss watchmaker was the titanium Ocean 2000, which was actually designed by Ferdinand Porsche in 1982 and produced by IWC. IWC has a long tradition of supplying dive watches that work well on the deepest of submersions. If the steel version is not luxurious enough for you, go for the stunning rose gold model, with its mouth-watering embossed chocolate-brown dial with applied gold indices and matching composite strap. And, on top of that, it is water resistant to 120m, which means that it can do its fair share of scuba diving if the owner wishes to see what life looks like beneath the gleaming hull of his mega-yacht. Ok, nobody has probably been testing the Patek Philippe Aquanaut as a hardcore dive watch, and I doubt Jacques Cousteau would wear it, if he were still alive and exploring The Silent World, one of his best underwater documentaries.Ĭousteau aside, the Patek Philippe Aquanaut is one of the most luxurious sports watches on the market. It may say Cartier on the dial, but this watch will still make you feel as manly as you do when downing a plethora of pints at The Lions Head and arm wrestling with your mates while honouring your local football team in a particular loud manner.Īnd what's not to like? This 42mm ISO-certified dive watch can fight sharks at 300m below the surface and ticks with the highly acclaimed automatic in-house 1904 MC calibre, housed in a case of steel.
Right now! Instead look at this very cool Calibre De Cartier Diver, which is certainly a dive watch that deserves to sit on your hairy wrist. You probably bought a Love Bracelet for your special one and lost the key moons ago (not because you don't think this love will last forever but merely because…well, you lost it).ĭue to this cuffed proof of love, you might consider Cartier a somewhat feminine brand.
Here's a look at a handful of timepieces that could swim with dolphins but are equally well suited to stylish desk-diving. By Kristian Haagen in Copenhagen, DenmarkĮven if you only see the ocean beds from your TV screen, a dive watch is probably high on your horological wish list nonetheless.
