If you’re in the market for a new dive watch, you have a few options to consider. We’ll talk about the Eterna Concept Diver and the Luminox Navy Seal. Both watches feature a 1,000-meter water resistance. You might also want to consider Seiko’s in-house caliber 8L35.
Seiko’s in-house caliber 8L35
Seiko has brought back its first dive watch, the SLA017J1, in a limited edition of 2,000 pieces. The dial features a crown at 3 o’clock and a sapphire crystal. Although the dial is the same, the dial text and inlay has been made thinner and the size of the dial reduced, making the watch less busy.
The dial is finished with a subtle gradient of blue, becoming darker as it gets closer to the outer perimeter. The date window is set between four and five o’clock, and the watch has a black silicone strap with a textured pin buckle. Alternatively, the dial comes with a blue fabric strap featuring a traditional Japanese braiding technique.
The 8L35 movement is a high-quality, albeit outdated, caliber. While there are some imperfections with this movement, they are virtually unnoticeable. Although this movement isn’t new or the most sophisticated, it has proven itself over time and has become a popular choice among watch enthusiasts.
Luminox Navy Seal
Navy Seal dive watches are made for the toughest conditions and are often sought after by law enforcement and elite military units. Although Luminox does make mechanical watches, their bread and butter are quartz watches. However, they also offer a variety of color choices for their dial accents. For example, the navy blue dial of the dive watches Luminox Evo 3001/3003 has a 12-hour scale and a date window.
The Luminox Navy Seal dive watch was developed in partnership with the Navy SEALs in 1994. It is the only watch officially licensed by the US Navy and is used by many SEALs throughout the world. It is also very water-resistant and can withstand up to 200 meters.
Luminox has a long history of collaboration with the Navy SEALs and is now an Official Partner of the Navy SEAL Foundation. They have created a line of watches that are inspired by the SEAL team’s unique characteristics and values. A Luminox Navy Seal dive watch has a self-powered illumination system, and is designed to work underwater.
