Looking Back at 60+ NOTABLE DIVERs of 2019

Before we cast a nostalgic eye back on the past year - I’d like to take this opportunity to wish all OceanicTime readers and sponsors the very best for 2020!

2019 was quite a year for diver’s watches proving once again that the diver segment is one of the most beloved in the industry.



There were plenty of exciting new models with all the usual suspects putting out new releases – however there seemed to be two brands that dominated.

Unsurprisingly Panerai kicked off the year with a strong SIHH lineup but continued to release some exciting new models throughout the year with 14 new models posted here.



UN had a strong presence from Jan when they titillated us with the naughty Classico MANARA right up until December with the release of the new Diver Chrono collection – 10 models posted!


But before we look at some of the most notable releases of 2019; we need to start with Omega who in addition to their new Diver 300M CERAMIC & Ti and JAMES BOND watches delivered something considerably better than a slap in the face with a wet fish.


The Seamaster Planet Ocean ULTRA DEEP Professional was tested to an astonishing 15’000 meters; while it stole the crown from Rolex’s DS CHALLENGE it remains 2nd only to the H2O x OceanicTime 10 MILES.

So here they are from A – Z! Can you handle 60+ watches!? Did I miss anything out?

  3. ZRC watches are solid. I’m surprised Sinn didn’t make the cut. Good stuff.
