Diver watches are meant for, well, diving, and this crop is no exception: All of the timepieces are water-resistant up to at least 100 metres, and most can function at three times that depth. But, in addition to sporty functionality, they also offer style. Tag Heuer’s Aquaracer Professional 300, for instance, has a steel bracelet, and the circular case of Bell & Ross’s BR 03-92 Diver Blue sits atop a square base. These fashion-forward touches lend versatility to the watches, which could easily travel from aquatic expeditions to social engagements back on land. The Louis Vuitton model, which features a rubber strap printed with the brand’s logo, is even named the Tambour Street Diver.
