ADDIEDIVE 36mm Stainless Steel Diver Quartz Analog Watch for Men Sapphire Crystal Mirror AD2023

Product Information

Not only do you get a watch that is capable and wearable, but most of the time you get to save a pretty significant chunk of change when purchasing one compared to their larger siblings. For those of us open to the smaller case size, this is truly a win-win. The Best 36mm Dive Watches There are a plethora of correctly sized 38mm watches for smaller wristed men, in all price ranges. I’d also like to point out it’s not just the bezel size that affects comfort, any lug to lug (total length) over 47mm can pose a problem. For me the sweet spot is 45mm, I can stretch it to 48mm maximum. Choosing a 18mm through 20mm lug width over 22mm+ will also have an effect of the appearance. Since the introduction of the “Bond” era Seamaster Diver 300M, Omega has released 2 size variations of their iconic dive watch to appease a multitude of wrist sizes. Even though that trend came to an end with their most recent iteration, the fact that Omega continued to produce 36mm dive watches through the “bigger is better” era of the 2000s is admirable. Divers are one of the most popular genres of watches out there, both for those who take to the water and those who stay on dry land. But one of the biggest complaints is that dive watches are too big, and there aren’t many <40mm dive watches on the market.

While the Seamaster can’t deny certain visual similarities with the Rolex Submariner, its diameter is actually slightly bigger at 41 mm. The second Omega on the list, The Seamaster is not quite as utilitarian as the Planet Ocean listed above. The Seamaster is a much better option if you wear a suit all day. You can get this one under a dress shirt and it will be much more comfortable to wear all day. Both are chronometer certified. I think anyone would be happy to have either of them. The mid-size Tudor Submariner is also a smaller riff on a classic dive watch. Tudor began making its own Submariner in the 1950s, shortly after big brother Rolex first launched its line. But, the classic Tudor Submariner always measured 39-40mm. Not until the 1990s, with the release of the Submariner reference 75090 and 75190, did Tudor release a smaller, 36mm dive watch suitable for even the most modest of wrists. Because I’m a bit shallow, I prefer the ref. 75190 since it features a Rolex-signed crown (a final relic from the days when Tudor used Rolex parts whole cloth to create cheaper alternatives with ETA movements), but the references are largely similar in form and function. As far as the bracelet, the angular slope of the middle link makes it more exciting than a regular flat three-link.

There are few brands that can offer the wide breadth of watches that SWATCH-owned Tissot can. From vintage recreations to modern classics, Tissot has a watch that will fit almost any need. One area that Tissot does not receive enough credit, however, is their ability to create very capable sports watches. The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M, ref. 212.30.36.20.03.001, is a 36.25mm stainless steel watch that features all of the characteristics of the previous generation’s full-size version. The helium escape valve, skeleton sword hands, and scalloped bezel are all present in this compact dive watch.The watch still utilizes the Co-Axial escapement in the form of the Caliber 2500, building off of the architecture of the ETA 2892. But remember that dive watches are bigger by design, and unless you have unusually skinny wrists you’ll be fine with a 36.25 mm watch from a style perspective.

Together with the case, the straps were sized down as well and measure 18 mm (0.7”) on this model – perfect for smaller gents. The 36mm case dimension was a favorite amongst brands due to its increased size compared to more casual timepieces of the era. Pricing for these watches varies from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars, depending on the brand and the condition. You may not be able to take these watches with you diving, but they will likely hold the memories of many others who did. Conclusion They range in height from 6’1″ (Moore) to 6’2″ (Connery), and the Rolex Submariner looked perfectly proportionate on their larger-than-average wrists. A New Watch for James Bond After years of relative obscurity compared to their price equivalent competition, Alpina has finally started to break out of their shell and garner more mainstream attention. With several strong product lines to their credit, the Seastrong Diver is one of the favorites among many collectors. The Hydroconquest is still a very high-quality Swiss-made watch. In fact, Longines and Omega both belong to the same parent company, the Swatch Group.Personally I think a formal or dress watch should also be carefully chosen. Dropping the size to 36mm or 38 will give a desired look. Sorry but I disagree with wearing a dive watch on formal or business occasions, I’m aware it’s common practice however, not correct. A more affordable alternative to Rolex that can give a user a very similar ownership experience at a fraction of the price. Like most watches even associated with Rolex, that affordability part of the equation has slipped out of the grasp of many vintage collectors as most Tudor Submariner examples will fetch premiums near their Rolex big brother depending on condition.

Lorier started in 2017 in New York. The Neptune is purpose built for someone with smaller wrists. The Neptune sports a Miyota automatic movement and a hesalite crystal. They even supply a tube of polishing compound to polish the crystal. I think I’d rather have sapphire. Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe – 38mm That alone would make it even less suitable for men with small wrists. But don’t worry! There’s another option for us modest men… Omega Seamaster 36.25 mm Diver 300M If you have small wrists and a love for dive watches, you might consider this a cursed combination. However, as a skinny-wristed fellow and a long-time admirer of classic sporty divers myself, I can assure you that there are more options for us out there than you may think. But if there was one aspect of TAG Heuer that they are most known for outside of the watch enthusiast community, it is definitely their entry-level luxury watches, many of which come from their Aquaracer line. This line of dive watches covers the entry-level luxury segments and is available in several sizes and color iterations.

If you like the vintage styling of a watch from the late-1950s or early-1960s but want the modern construction and specification that comes with a new watch, few brands can provide as much value as Longines. They have a historical archive as deep as any Swiss watchmaker and are positioned in a place to provide these timepieces for an affordable price to a wide watch-collecting audience. This is a great question that really comes down to personal preference. If you have a large wrist and like big watches, no, you should not buy a 36mm dive watch. If you have a small wrist and have longed for a capable dive watch, yes you absolutely should buy a 36mm dive watch. For those of us in between, with slightly smaller to slightly larger wrists, it will come down to preference. Enicar watches are defined by their bold, sporty aesthetic with ample lume, color and funk, and the Divette is know exception. While it’s a bit more subdued than some of the more out-there designs from the brand that’s got Saturn as its logo, it’s still different from many of the vintage divers from the same era. Powering the Superocean 36 is the Breitling Caliber 17 movement, which is essentially a chronometer-certified, Breitling-decorated and -assembled version of an ETA 2824-2. As such, it offers the standard specs of running at a frequency of 28,800vph with a power reserve of approximately 38 hours. When it comes to the venerable ETA 2824, this is about as good as it gets, and since you also receive chronometer-certified timekeeping performance, the Superocean really isn’t the same as a watch that uses an off-the-shelf Sellita SW200. However, given the price point, it would have been nice to see Breitling give the Superocean something a little more special in terms of its internals — especially considering that the brand has access to Kenissi-manufactured calibers. That said, generic movement designs offer unparalleled serviceability, and if you want to wear this bright orange timepiece as a fun and carefree vacation watch, there is something to be said about having the option to get it serviced at virtually any competent watchmaker in the world.

Oris is getting up there in terms of being a luxury watch brand, and you’re going to pay for it. Not as expensive as Rolex or Omega, but pretty close. The Aquis is thier flagship dive watch. It features a Swiss movement, and has all the bells and whistles you would want.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 37

When Pierce Brosnan (6’1”) took over the role of James Bond for Goldeneye in 1995, the lead actor wasn’t the only thing that changed. The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms is the original dive watch. Others came out just afterward, but Blancpain was the first. This is a smaller version of the current Fifty Fathoms, and just as capable. You couldn’t ask for a finer watch than the Fifty Fathoms. Breitling’s Superocean Heritage – 38mm Whether you are new to the hobby or a seasoned collector, you can’t help but notice the popularity of dive watches. They are the undisputed champions of not just the sports watch world but the watch world in general. I am by no means saying that they are the best or most practical for every situation, but they are the style of watch most responsible for carrying the financial weight of most mainstream brands.
