An Icon in Design
The classic Seiko dive watches are fantastic for both new or seasoned enthusiasts and collectors. The watch’s recognizable design, astonishing build quality, and superb value are key selling points of these timepieces. In 1964, Seiko created the watch that would be an icon in horology. Anybody who is anybody has, at the very least, owned or seen a dive watch, and it should be no surprise that almost every watchmaker today has made a diver.
The Appeal of a Seiko Watch Diver
So, what it is then, that makes this type of watch tick? Is it the design? Or its rugged dependability? Well, I think it’s both and also something else entirely. To really understand these watches' appeal and why they’re thriving in this industry, perhaps it’ll be clearer if I let you in on a little secret. Most dive watches are rarely used for diving, and even fewer are ever submerged, let alone brought anywhere near the depth of the limit of their water resistance.
That makes the popularity of these watches even more puzzling. But let’s put things into perspective. Most supercars these days produces almost as much, if not more power than a Formula 1 car, but will they ever be used to their fullest potential? Rarely, if ever, but that doesn’t stop brands such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, and McLaren from selling thousands of units a year.
Often, it’s the knowing that matters; you squeeze the throttle of a 720S, feel the massive power of the 4.0l Twin-turbocharged V8 lying in wait and revel at the near-instantaneous speed and ease of overtaking a fellow motorist.
Watch companies know this and understand the appreciation of potential, which is mainly why there is an abundance of divers adorning store shelves everywhere. But with the luxury of variety, comes the dilemma of choice.
