The best affordable dive watch of the year?
We’re halfway through 2024 and a lot of cool watches have hit the market, but I’m not sure I’ve seen another sub-$1,500 dive watch this year that’s as compelling as this one.
The wavy dial, the ceramic bezel, the symmetrical design, the automatic movement, the stunning lume… there’s a lot to like here, even for people like me who aren’t usually crazy about Luminox releases.
If you are in the market for an automatic diver under $1,500 and particularly If you like the look of the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M, you should definitely take a look at the new Luminox Pacific Diver Automatic.
You can order all three versions directly from the brand’s website. The black version with a black rubber strap costs $1,295, the blue with a three-link stainless steel bracelet costs $1,395, and the Midnight Mariner with a rubber strap – my personal favorite – also costs $1,395.
