Six Boutique Dive Watches: The Very Best
Right now, we’re in a golden age for dive watches. Companies such as Giovino, Palladium and others have made it possible to start your own company with as few as 400 watches, and the Internet has enabled the global reach that lets a niche company flourish. There are many out there, but for this post I’d like to collect my current favorites, representing a range of styles and prices, and in no particular order.Ocean7 LM-1 PVD with PVD sapphire bezelWhy I like itThis one is kind of like buying a car – tons of options, both pre and post sale.Sapphire bezel. PVD case or cold-hardened steel. Optional chronometer-rated movement. Killer luminosity. Good bracelet. Great price ($1,322 maxed out). User-changeable bezels to mix up the look. Workhorse ETA 2824 movement. What’s not to like?
Sinn 144 St S Jubilee Anniversary Limited Edition Watch Hands-On
Sinn is a brand we always look forward to seeing at Baselworld and this year they have launched a 40th anniversary limited edition of their 144 Series chronograph. Easily one of Sinn’s most recognizable past models, the 144 has a highly focused military and aviation aesthetic. To that end, Sinn has not changed many details from the previous model, preserving the original design while incorporating some of the technologies they have developed since the 144 was originally released.Officially called the 144 St S Jubilee, while this new chronograph may look identical to the original 144, it actually boasts Sinn’s TEGIMENT hardneded steel construction and a high grade black PVD finish. The original black 144 was not hardened and its black coating was actually chrome plating which was quite easily scratched. With a matching TEGIMENT steel and black PVD bracelet, Sinn has successfully updated the 144 without affecting its original and very successful design.
