Diving watches, because of their unique sports design and practical functions, have always been hot-selling in the watch market. In order to meet the needs of watch enthusiasts, major watch brands are constantly innovating and launching various diving watches. Interestingly, in previous recommendation activities, we observed that diving watches seem not to be restricted by seasons and occasions. As long as they appear, they can attract the attention of a large number of watch friends. In today’s article, we recommend three latest diving watches currently on the market, with public prices ranging from 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.

Watch comments:The Omega Seamaster series is a classic representative of diving watches. In the popular forum event #MySeahorseWeekend# that we often participate in, we can often observe various “seahorses”, among which the seahorse 300 has the highest exposure. Recently, Haima 300 released its latest design work. The most eye-catching point is that it adopts the “no calendar” design concept and re-uses an aluminum bezel. As shown in the picture above, the diameter of this new Haima 300 case is 42 mm and is made of high-quality steel. The bezel and dial of the watch are made of black aluminum, and the dial is still decorated with the iconic ripple pattern, which is consistent with the diving characteristics of the watch. White Super-LumiNova luminous coating covers the hollow hands and hour markers. A notable feature of the new design is the removal of the red decoration on the dial, including the Omega brand logo, while the other logos are white. Regarding this point, some cousins think it is “too simple”, while others think “only this black one looks domineering”. From the perspective of a thousand watch friends, the number of seahorses is a thousand 300. This is the fun of the watch game! The watch shown in front of you, called the “Calendarless” Seamaster 300, is equipped with an integrated black rubber strap and a foldable clasp. It is also equipped with the Omega 8806 Master Chronometer movement, which can provide a power reserve of up to 55 hours.

Watch comments:In order to pay tribute to the “military diving watch”, Tudor Pilot Submersible FXD launched an innovative Pilot Submersible FXD GMT-Master watch. This is the first time that the Submersible series incorporates the GMT function, further highlighting the practical and functional features of the watch. This watch uses a grade 2 titanium case with a diameter of 42 mm and its water resistance can reach 200 meters. A distinctive feature of the new FXDGMT watch is that it is equipped with a ceramic bezel for the first time. The 24-hour scale on the dial, combined with the orange 24-hour hand on the dial, ensures that pilots can check Coordinated Universal Time, also known as “Zulu Time”, at any time, which is the standard time reference for pilots. The iconic “snowflake” indicator represents the time. The time in the second time zone is marked by another hour hand. This is also another significant feature of the watch, which is that it can display time information in three time zones at the same time. The integrated textured strap adopts a green hue, which is based on the color design of the naval aviation flight suit. This watch is equipped with the MT5652-U movement originally manufactured by Tudor and has an automatic winding function. It also has a power reserve of 65 hours.
Longines classic replica series L3.764.4.90.7
Product model: L3.764.4.90.7
Domestic public price:￥28300
Watch diameter: 39 mm
Movement model: L888
Watch comments:The origins of the Longines Legend Diver’s watch can be traced back to the 1950s, when Longines launched a watch specifically designed for underwater adventure activities. In 2024, coinciding with the 65th year of the birth of this series of watches, Longines released its new classic replica series called the Legend Diver Watch. This new product uses 39mm fine steel as the case material, and its waterproof performance can reach 300 meters. A distinctive feature of the Legend Diver’s watch is its double crown design, one of which (2 o’clock) is used to adjust its internal diving bezel, while the other (4 o’clock) is used to accurately adjust the time. Next, we’ll look at one of the standout features of this collection – an internal bi-directional rotating bezel for estimating dive duration. Placing the bezel inside the watch case can reduce the risk of accidental touches and collisions. In the new legendary diver’s watch released in 2024, a new gray dial is added and cleverly decorated with mint green details. In addition to these, the dial also offers green and terracotta designs, making its colors richer and more diverse. This new model features a high-precision steel bracelet with “rice grain” links in the center. This watch is equipped with the Longines L888.6 self-winding movement and can provide approximately 72 hours of power storage.
