What Brand is Your Dive watch???

[Cyclops_Diver]

Neat thread...

I've just got an old Citizen Aqualand on a MaraTac Zulu Nato 4 Ring nylon band with a compass underneath.

I've been using cheap Casio's for the past quarter century. Their biggest "expense" was in battery replacement, and the only time that any of them ever flooded was when I had a local jeweler replace the battery instead of a Casio Service Center.

To skip the batteries, I'm now using a $30 Solar Casio from Walmart. Its an analog dial, which I prefer.

And I do have to say that its either pretty snazzy looking, or I met a pretty ignorrant watch collector on Little Cayman 3 years ago: we were at PP having Thanksgiving dinner and the gentleman escorting a well-known local fine lady complimented me on the watch, started talking about how he had a fine collection, etc. I tried to be polite and brush it off, but he persisted, so I did finally tell him that it was a 'cheap Casio'. In hindsight, I should have first asked what he was willing to trade for it!

Oris TT1 Regulator... quality dive watch for a good price...

The picture is not mine... originaly from Cones Stuff

Quite accurate for a mechanical watch... loses about 3 secs a day. Has been on my wrist for more then a year and on nearly every dive.

I have been wearing a faithful Seiko Sports (water resistant to 150 meters) for the past 10 years and decided not too long ago to treat myself to a nice piece of timekeeping. Looked at various models including Omega Seamaster, Tag Heuer Professional (and their new Aquagraph 2000...) and finally settled on a Breitling Super Ocean. Nice craftsmanship, great looking blue dial, helium valve, water resistant to 5000ft... Will I take it down? My Seiko will probably still see more bottom time than my new acquisition. But boy, does it look great!!!

Cheers!

I also have a Seiko Sport (the 150m) which I got in 1985 as an anniversary present. It was joined this year by an Invicta Pro Diver. The Seiko was rock-solid and was +/- 1 second (or better) over the course of a year according to my NISE clock. The Invicta looks slightly better, and is a non-quartz, so it is not quite as accurate, but still looks and dives great.
