Top 5 Dive Watches That Look Good on Land Too


Diving watches were originally built for the depths — but today, they’ve surfaced as bold, stylish timepieces perfect for everyday life. Whether you’re dressing up for dinner or heading into the desert, a good diver watch offers versatility, toughness, and standout design.


Here are 5 dive watches in our Dubai shop that deliver professional-grade performance and serious wrist appeal — even on dry land.



1. SQUALE 1521

A true icon. The SQUALE 1521 is one of the most respected dive watches in the world, with a minimalist design that hasn’t changed much since the 1960s. Its 500m water resistance, bold hands, and cushion case make it ideal for sea or city.

  • Why we love it: Classic Italian design + Swiss build.

  • Pairs well with: Denim, linen shirts, and casual suits.


2. ZRC GENEVE Grands Fonds

Used by the French Navy, this watch is full of character. The distinctive crown at 6 o’clock, its patented safety bezel, and 300m resistance make it both functional and unique. It’s a serious diver that gets noticed.

  • Why we love it: It’s unlike anything else — and tough as nails.

  • Pairs well with: Utility wear, rugged outerwear, or streetwear.


3. MARATHON GSAR

Built to military specifications and trusted by NATO forces, the MARATHON GSAR isn’t just a tool — it’s a statement. With tritium illumination, 300m water resistance, and tank-like durability, this one is for the mission-ready.

  • Why we love it: Purpose-built, with military roots.

  • Pairs well with: Field jackets, cargo pants, or minimalist sportswear.


4. RZE Endeavour

Crafted from ultra-light titanium with a scratch-resistant coating, the RZE Endeavour offers modern aesthetics with serious diving credibility (200m WR). It's perfect for active lifestyles — on land or sea.

  • Why we love it: Lightweight, modern, and refreshingly different.

  • Pairs well with: Athleisure, travel outfits, or everyday casuals.


5. SECOND HOUR Giant Stride

A modern take on the dive watch — SECOND HOUR’s Giant Stride has bold indices, a rotating bezel, and a sleek profile that transitions smoothly from the beach to a business lunch.

  • Why we love it: Fresh design with everyday wearability.

  • Pairs well with: Blazers, polo shirts, or rolled-up sleeves.
