8 Best Dive Watches Under $1,000

It’s hard to believe that the world’s most iconic dive watches like the Omega Seamaster was once $125 or the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms ever retailing for $90, or the Rolex Submariner in 1954 for $150. Of course, we all wish the prices of those iconic divers stayed as low as their mid century retail prices. Keeping this spirit, in this guide we handpicked a selection of the best affordable dive watches under $1,000.

The Doxa is an amazing watch. I have it in yellow and on a bracelet. It’s amazing!

[@cesarcesar5129]

Tissot Seastar 1000. Powermatic 80. 80 hour power reserve 300m water resistance Sapphire crystal Ceramic bezel Swiss made Under $700

[@ThwmasSt]

also plastic parts! except if you find new version with silicium!

[@ybk6858]

also 40mm so no

[@chrishatcher3165]

The Baltic Aquascaphe is literally an homage, not to Longines, but to a specific Blancpain Bathyscaphe reference. They even hint at it in the name.

[@LaclaraBox]

It looks like the captain cook from Rado

[@michelerusso1585]

yes exactly like every dive watch is a homage of the submariner

[@richardwarren2024]

Another great video with an excellent selection of watches I rarely see on other channels. Keep up the great work!

[@gregalonzo747]

You made some very good recommendations. I have the Doxa and the the Marathon. I am also a big fan of Squale and would recommend their divers.

[@erickv1977]

tissot seastar 2000 is better diver watch than all that 8 watches, is 600 mt. resistand and cost less than 1000 USA dollars

[@humbertosanchezrobles9429]

Nice video, and watchs!

[@Firenmage433]

Citizen promaster honorable mention. Love that Certina, the only one that really caught my eye

[@PineapplePizza1]

Awesome list!

[@itzstrawberry_xkxte9346]

Tissot seastar tops all these watches, except that certina, that looks lovely

[@vincentmayes9257]

Love orange in dive watches

[@vincentmayes9257]

Works beautiful with my samsung galaxy watch 22mm orange bands omg perfect color match

[@mrbud8524]

Love the Doxa 😍

[@ThwmasSt]

any advise for watch under 1500 euro for everyday?

[@alwayspooh1588]

That Doxa is lovely.

[@achannel127]

You missed the Glycine Combat Sub and the Steinhart Ocean One

[@jazz1ba]

Those are Rolex sub copies. Nobody wants that.

[@josemedina1983]

Great list, I would of added the Glycine Combat Sub.

[@greenfroth]

Would have

[@josemedina1983]

@@greenfroth Should have?

[@dimitrissovantzis585]

I am not sure why Oceaneva is not part of this list... From the lot, oceaneva is the only one that has actually tested their watches to a depth of 1250m... I know that many will say that their watches are a bit of homages, but they have some interesting complications to choose from, that look unique...

[@ramzes8283]

how much does mido cost?

[@ramzes8283]

How much does it cost in your country? Longines HydroConquest

[@brandonherrera2891]

I wish there were more 36-38mm options. Also, with display casebacks. Even if it is undecorated. But wow, that orange Doxa is a stunner.

[@tiagodvt]

Certina DS Action Diver 38mm

[@brandonherrera2891]

@@tiagodvt Nice but not a see through caseback.

[@tiagodvt]

@@brandonherrera2891 I dont think it can have it since it is an ISO certified diver. It has a beautiful engraved caseback though

[@sgbh8874]

That Baltic …🤤

[@videocapturing]

That Bulova devil diver is beautiful and asking for attention across the room 😮

[@pianomusicondemand-zinomancuso]

I have enjoyed it all summer swimming in the Sicily's sea, and I am soi proud of it. Great out of the water as well.

[@zvivolpo]

אני אוהב את שעוני deep blue diver

[@ramzes8283]

What is your wrist size?

[@clarencebenjaminlim]

Looks like the seiko padi's bezel, of course dont line up. As usual

[@Jackonda21]

No Citizen Fujitsubo titanium 😢

[@rafaelvillar6274]

seiko srpa21

[@Watchguy-vq4mf]

The narrator sounds like Keanu Reeves

[@jlg395]

Not a single Citizen, which only tells me that HiConsumption cares more about hype than true dive functionality. With the exception of the Marathon, these are just seven overpriced toys.

[@Jedi391]

Ridiculous, these are all capable and well made watches.

[@rbagas5141]

Ridiculous, citizen is not that good

[@tyarnold4088]

Wrong

[@Hyperborean_2]

They are all good dive watches but Citizen should have been amongst them.. even Orient

[@kookvision9295]

Nobody dives with watches anymore. All are fashion items

[@elysium3079]

Hamilton shines.
