As someone who is blessed to test a lot of different watches, I've always had a theory about dive watches. And no, I'm not talking about the modern desk diver – the Rolex Submariner which sits under your fancy suit in an air conditioned office – I mean the watch you take swimming.
My theory is simple – regardless of how expensive the rest of your watch collection is, your dive watch should be affordable. It's a fairly contentious thing to say in a world of four-figure Tudor Black Bay models and hyper-inflated price tags on second hand Rolex models.
