Iconic collections

Some dive watches are more than just models — they’re full-fledged collections that have shaped the identity of underwater timekeeping. Seamaster, Pelagos, Aquaracer, Aquis… Discover the names that define the genre.

Omega Seamaster

As one of OMEGA’s most iconic and enduring lines, the Seamaster collection reflects the brand’s long-standing passion for the sea. From the dressy Aqua Terra to the bold Diver 300M, from the vintage-inspired Seamaster 300 to the ultra-technical Planet Ocean and record-breaking Ultra Deep, every model is built with performance, heritage, and style in mind.
Whether you're heading into the depths or simply looking for timeless sport-luxury, the Seamaster has a watch for every wrist and every challenge.

Longines Legend Diver

Directly inspired by a 1960 model, the Legend Diver is Longines' most iconic diving watch. Reissued in 2007 as part of the Heritage line, it has retained the refined aesthetics of the era while incorporating contemporary standards of reliability and water resistance.

Instantly recognizable thanks to its super compressor-style case with double crown, internal rotating bezel, and understated dial with vintage typography, the Legend Diver evokes an era when underwater adventure was synonymous with discreet elegance.

Longines has produced this iconic model in several sizes (36, 39, and 42 mm), materials (steel and bronze), and versions (tropic, leather, and steel straps), while retaining its DNA.

Halfway between a heritage watch and a diving tool, the Legend Diver appeals to lovers of classic watches with a strong personality.

Oris Aquis

The Aquis is the ultimate modern diving watch according to Oris. Launched in 2011, this collection embodies the Swiss independent brand's desire to offer a resolutely contemporary tool watch: sleek lines, ceramic bezel, wide choice of diameters and colors, while retaining a true diving identity.

Water-resistant to 300 meters in most versions, with interchangeable straps (steel or rubber), the Aquis is available in classic automatic models, but also in more specialized versions: off-center date, mechanical depth gauge, regulator complication, and, since 2020, the Oris 400 manufacture caliber (120-hour power reserve, anti-magnetic, 10-year warranty).

Functional, robust, easy to wear and maintain, the Aquis has become a staple in the world of diving watches. A 100% Oris design, for lovers of Swiss watches without compromise.

Seiko Prospex Diver’s

Seiko has been a legend in diving watches since 1965, when the brand launched its first diving watch: the 62MAS. It marked the beginning of a relentless pursuit of robustness, innovation, and accessibility.

Now united under the Prospex banner (for “Professional Specifications”), Seiko diving watches have built their reputation in the field: ocean, mountain, extreme conditions. From the Turtle to the Sumo, via the Tuna, Samurai, Marine Master, and vintage reissues (1965, 1968, 1970), each model has a strong identity and a dedicated community.

Water-resistant from 200 to 1,000 meters depending on the version, equipped with proven automatic movements (6R or 8L series), or solar or hybrid calibers, Prospex watches combine Japanese precision with bold style and exceptional durability.

Reliable, powerful, and endearing, they are often considered the best value for money on the diving watch market.

TAG Heuer Aquaracer

TAG Heuer has been designing nautical watches since the 1980s, but it was in 2004 that the Aquaracer name became the brand's benchmark for diving watches. Modern, versatile, and instantly recognizable with its 12-sided bezel, the Aquaracer embodies the ultimate sporty-chic diving watch, equally at home underwater or in an urban setting.

Water-resistant to 200 or 300 meters, equipped with automatic or solar movements (using Solargraph technology developed with La Joux-Perret), the collection is designed for both performance enthusiasts and everyday aesthetes.

With men's and women's versions, numerous sizes (from 30 to 43 mm), textured dials, and ceramic bezels, the Aquaracer is one of the most comprehensive and easy-to-wear collections in the segment.

A contemporary, stylish, and reliable diving watch that combines aesthetics, functionality, and a strong identity.

Tudor Pelagos

While the Black Bay pays homage to history, the Pelagos looks resolutely toward the future. Launched in 2012, the Pelagos is Tudor's most technical and radical diving watch. Made entirely of titanium, it combines robustness, lightness, and everyday comfort. Water-resistant to 500 meters, it features a helium valve and a ceramic bezel that is perfectly legible in all circumstances.

The Pelagos is also one of the few models to offer a titanium bracelet with a self-adjusting buckle, ideal for diving with a wetsuit. Since 2015, it has been powered by the COSC-certified MT5612 manufacture caliber.

Available in several versions, the Pelagos collection includes the standard 42 mm version, the Pelagos LHD (left-hand crown), the ultra-light Pelagos 39, and the Pelagos FXD, developed in partnership with the French Navy. The latter takes the concept of a military tool watch even further, with a monobloc case, a bidirectional bezel with a countdown function, and a fixed bracelet.

In short, the Pelagos is the ultimate modern diving watch—technical, functional, and uncompromising in terms of aesthetics.

Yema Superman

Introduced in 1963, the Yema Superman is France’s most iconic dive watch. Originally designed for professional divers, it quickly gained recognition for its patented bezel-lock mechanism, placed just above the crown — a functional innovation that became a distinctive design signature.

Staying true to the original aesthetic, the Superman is available in various sizes and configurations, with vintage-inspired dials and a choice of steel, tropic or NATO straps.

Today, it features Yema’s next-generation Manufacture calibres, delivering improved accuracy and power reserve. Some models are also equipped with Swiss-made Sellita movements, offering proven reliability and serviceability.

With 300 meters of water resistance, the Superman is a bold, functional and unmistakably French dive watch that continues to attract collectors and enthusiasts alike.

ZRC Grands Fonds 300 MN64

Originally developed in 1964 for the French Navy, the ZRC Grands Fonds MN64 is more than just a dive watch — it’s a military-grade underwater instrument, built with uncompromising standards.

Designed according to a strict military spec sheet, the MN64 stood out thanks to radical features: a 300m water-resistant monobloc case, an articulated bracelet that fits over a wetsuit, a screw-down crown at 6 o’clock, and a patented safety system that blocks diving unless the crown is properly secured.

These innovations remain unchanged, giving the Grands Fonds a truly singular and functional identity. It appeals to hardcore toolwatch enthusiasts and lovers of bold, purposeful design.

Now available in “Reissue” and “Heritage” versions, the MN64 remains Swiss-made, extreme, and utterly unique in the dive watch landscape.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — as long as the depth rating is respected. A “200m water-resistant” watch is suitable for recreational diving. For scuba or saturation diving, go for models certified to ISO 6425 or with a helium escape valve.

Water-resistant watches handle splashes or brief immersion. A true dive watch includes a screw-down crown, unidirectional bezel, strong legibility, and at least 100m water resistance — often ISO 6425 certified.

Automatic watches offer mechanical charm, solar watches provide worry-free convenience, and quartz is affordable and precise. Your ideal choice depends on usage, budget, and personal preference.

Most dive watches range from 38mm to 44mm. Smaller wrists suit 38–40mm, while those preferring a bolder look may go for 42mm or more.

Absolutely. Many dive watches balance sporty looks with subtle elegance. Paired with a steel or leather strap, they suit casual and even formal attire.

Yes. Water resistance should be checked every 2 to 5 years, depending on use, and the movement serviced every 5 to 10 years. Always rinse your watch with fresh water after sea exposure.

A unidirectional rotating bezel is a safety feature used to track dive time. It only turns one way to avoid accidental miscalculation. A fixed bezel is purely aesthetic.

Seiko, Tissot, Citizen and Mido offer reliable, affordable dive watches. In higher ranges, Oris, TAG Heuer, Longines or Tudor deliver great value and performance.

Some smartwatches like the Garmin Fenix or Descent are made for diving and include dedicated sensors. Be cautious with generalist models, which are often limited to swimming.

100m is suitable for swimming and snorkeling, but not for scuba diving. For that, go for 200m or more.

A watch with 200m water resistance or more, ideally ISO 6425 certified, is suitable for recreational diving. Good legibility and a rotating bezel are also essential.

The helium valve is a specific technical feature found on certain professional diving watches. It was developed to meet the needs of saturation diving, a practice used by professional divers who work at very great depths (often in the offshore industry).

During this type of diving, divers spend several days in a hyperbaric chamber filled with a gas mixture based on helium, an extremely light gas that can penetrate watches, even waterproof ones, through the seals.

When they slowly return to ambient pressure, this trapped gas can cause excess pressure inside the watch, risking the glass blowing out.

The helium valve therefore allows this excess pressure to be automatically or manually released during decompression.

For general use (bathing, swimming, recreational diving), it is completely unnecessary. It is a technical detail intended for professionals, but often appreciated for its symbolic value and distinctive look (e.g., Omega Seamaster Ploprof, Planet Ocean, Rolex Sea-Dweller).

Diving watches: the timepiece that became an icon
