Eight Best Swiss Made Dive Watches Under One Thousand Dollars

Michael Felix
A dive watch would be a great addition to any watch collector or watch enthusiast. Dive watches, being the toughest of all watch types, would last a lifetime in all kinds of conditions. Dive watches are very popular and a lot of people appreciate the durability and design of dive watches. Most dive watches are water proof from two hundred meters and all the way to five hundred meters and usually come on stainless steel bracelet or rubber strap. Since dive watches are water proof, very rugged and beautifully designed all this makes them to be the most versatile of all watch types. For example a dive watch like Longines Hydroconquest. With this watch, since it is water proof, you can go scuba dive in the ocean hundreds of feet deep. But, since it is so beautifully designed, you can also wear it with a tuxedo to the wedding.

Famous watch company Longines manufactures various great watches and one of them is Longines Hydroconquest. Longines Hydroconquest is probably the best dive watch that you can find for a price under one thousand dollars. You can get a Longines Hydroconquest with a stainless steel bracelet and a quartz movement for about eight hundred dollars. This watch is 39mm wide and is water proof up to three hundred meters. Longines Hydroconquest comes with a two year manufacturer warranty.

All of the watches listed above are Swiss made. Movements are also Swiss made and are either quartz or automatic (self-winding mechanical). Prices on all of those watches depend mostly on the brand. For example, Tag Heuer, Raymond Weil and Longines cost more because those are very well known watch companies. However it does not mean that the quality of less known and less expensive watches, Swiss Army or Luminox, is worse. All watches listed above are manufactured by watch companies with great reputation and are of the best quality.
