A few of my favourites








Top to bottom

Marathon GSAR
CWC SBS diver
Eliot Brown Holton Professional
The ginger muff diver (it’s a pure comedy watch)
Seiko SKX007
Rolex Submariner

I haven’t dived for years, but I think I still like them

Here’s mine

Citizen Aqualand circa 1990 - the watch I took on many dives when I was still doing it. This is the original release and at the time the closest thing to a dive computer I could afford



Wanting something a little lighter (and in green 8) ) I got this Citizen diver last year….I’ve a few Eco Drive models and really like them



And my newest, a TC-9 70’s style Bronze diver’s which I wear most days since I’ve had it. Already developed a nice patina

Thanks Pete,

The bezel on the watch is a bit different from other dive watches, as in it's a “time on target” indicator. So it counts down to time for exfil, yes I was in the forces, it shows remaining time as opposed to elapsed time. The lume is killer, that was quite a short charge with the bedside light.

Here's are some pics of my divers.

Let's begin with the first real diver I bought, a first generation Seiko Black Monster.






Here's the second diver I bought, a modded Seiko with original SKX case (beat blasted case, buckle and clasp) on a new grey Turtle strap.  It has a Seiko 4R36 mechanism,  double domed safire with a coin edged bezel, signed crown and original Seiko SPB237 (new Captain Willard) dial and hands.









And it also looks nice on a Nato strap  ;).




And finally, my latest diver.  My Seiko King Turtle.








I also have a couple of other Victorinox and Seiko Automatics, and a Victorinox Inox Titanium, and a horde of G-Shocks, but since non of them have a rotating diving bezel, I didn't include them here. 

While a Casio Frogman doesn't have a diving bezel, I still consider it a true dive-watch, but I don't consider my Casio Mudmaster a dive-watch, while it will probably do the job, you guys know what I'm trying to say, right?

That modded Seiko is a beauty, the blasted case makes such a difference to the normal shiny stuff we see everyday!!!

I have to agree on the Frogman, they are proper dive watches, at least they have the dive log counters.
