Basic dive watch?
Discussion

I got this for £50. Does the job.
If I want to wear something a bit dressier then I have a Glycine that wears beautifully. This should have been £250:

I have a Seiko Samurai but that’s maybe a bit chunky for office duties, it depends what you like I guess. Still, it’s a lovely thing. It was about £230:

I bought this for my son but he wasn’t wearing it. It was £50. The bracelet was a bit rattly but the wave dial was better than it had any right to be for the price. It’s a Seiko solar powered Quartz.

I owned and sold on a Christopher Ward. Nice thing.

Obviously not the most prestigious brand, but the Invicta 1953 is probably the best watch they make. I’ve owned 2 and still have 1.


Sinn are nice tool dive watches that might appeal.

Basic?
You mean as in function not price?
Is it for diving or just wearing out and about?
Basic possibly the wrong word - like the Pelagos I'm after a tool watch both for diving and wearing day to day. You mean as in function not price?
Is it for diving or just wearing out and about?
Would prefer to keep the price <£5k so as not to worry too much about wearing it out and about.

Bargain. Let's say my budget is between 1k-5k GBP.
In that case i'd be looking at an Oris Aquis. Available in various sizes to fit most wrists, a load of different colourways and also various strap options.https://www.jurawatches.co.uk/collections/oris-wat...
