The vintage diver you can wear with a shirt. The double domed sapphire and slim bezel give it the look of a 1960s skin diver, while 40mm and 12.8mm keep it easy under a cuff. It does less than the Seiko on paper, only 100m and a Sellita based movement, but the finishing, crown action and lume earn steady praise, and it is serviceable by any decent watchmaker.
The most convincing vintage diver styling at this price, with a box sapphire that rivals copy.

What owners say
WatchUSeek owners like how flat and light it wears for a 40mm diver and how the domed crystal looks on the wrist. The recurring complaints are bezel play on some examples, so try the bezel before buying, and an aluminium insert that scratches easily; one owner had moisture get in after swimming and needed a service. Monochrome readers add that the rivet style bracelet divides opinion.
