THREE DIVE WATCHES –THREE PRICE LEVELS

Diving watches are available in many price ranges – here you get three attractive but very different models from Jaguar, Seiko, and TAG Heuer.

Frost Clear Seiko

This crisp new watch from Seiko is part of the celebration of Seiko's 110th anniversary as a watch manufacturer. The model is produced in a 5,000 pcs limited edition and is part of the Prospex collection, Seiko's line of rugged sports watches. Seiko's reputation for reliable and durable dive watches was established in the 1960s and 1970s, when adventurers and explorers took Seiko watches with them on expeditions to, among other places, the North and the South Pole, and therefore it makes sense that the dial design has been inspired by the Arctic and Antarctic environment, and that it resembles the surface of a glacier.

The model is part of the Seiko Save the Ocean campaign, which supports a number of activities for the conservation and protection of the world's oceans. The case is made of steel and measures 41 mm, there is sapphire glass on top, and in the engine room is Seiko's own movement calibre 6R35 with a power reserve of 70 hours.

Seiko Prospex Save the Ocean (SPB333J1). Price DKK 10,450.

Tag Heuer Has Seen The Light

There aren't many Swiss high-end watch brands that experiment with quartz movements (if we leave out of account genuine jewellery watches and the very small ladies' models). However, last year, TAG Heuer introduced a version of its well-known Aquaracer, which has been equipped with the quartz movement TH50-00 and is even recharged by daylight/sunlight through the striped dial. This means that just 20 hours of exposure to strong light can make the watch run for a full six months. This year there is a new variant, with the 40 mm case is made of titanium.

TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph (WBP1180.BF0000). Price DKK 24,450.
