We told you we could find a 1000 meter diver for under $500, we just didn't know how far under $500 it would be!
The watch we tested was the Master Diver; on our wrist it felt just as solid as the Enzo. The watch has a helium escape valve, a screw down crown (see pic above), and a date window between 4 and 5 o'clock. It also kept great time for the week that we wore it, and just like the Enzo, we were stopped many times by people to ask about it.
The first reason is the movement. Enzo uses a Swiss ETA movement, the 2824 coach bags outlet, while Deep Blue is also using a high-grade automatic movement, it just happens to be made in Japan by Miyota.
You can thank us later.
Which costs $1500 and which costs $400?
All Deep Blues Come W/ 4 Extra Straps & A Travel CaseBack to these Deep Blues. So you are getting what is basically the same dive-proven case as the Enzo and you're getting an automatic movement. Here is where things get really good. With every Deep Blue watch you purchase, you get an additional FOUR straps, the tool to change them, and a plastic carrying case. That is not a typo, with our Master Diver on a SS bracelet; we received 1 NATO strap, 1 Velcro ballistic strap, and 2 different rubber straps. To be honest, we've never seen anything like this. This allows you to change the looks of your Deep Blue as you see fit. As mentioned above, you also get a small screw driver that allows swapping the straps (on the Deep Blue and any other watch you may own).
When reading these requests, we noticed a trend. There were countless people out there looking for a serious diving watch that was under $500. We aren't talking about a diving watch that LOOKS serious, but one that can actually withstand the pressure associated with deep diving, as well as the everyday beating that people who dive put their watches through.
When you look at a Deep Blue watch, a Master Diver in this case, you can't help but notice it resembles the more expensive Enzo Mechana. It even has the same undeniable weight that we commented on with the EM. The cases look practically identical, and they feel practically identical, and something tells us they probably are practically identical. So then why does the Enzo cost 3x the Deep Blue?

HODINKEE
A few weeks ago we mentioned an inspiring brand (that caused a bit of commenter controversy) called Enzo Mechana. His watches are rated to an amazing 1000m (or 3300ft) below the surface, the same as the soon to be released uber diving watch 500 Fathoms and about 3x the depth of the ubiquitous Rolex Submariner (good to 300m). That is all well and good, but his watches retail for around $1500 and we know people are looking for that kind of performance for under $500.
We at Hodinkee really like to give you what you ask for. In fact we even opened up a service to do just that with our watch finders....since we launched back in late January we have helped over 700 people find the watches of their dreams, and we have about 100 more in the queue that we're working on (we'll get to you soon coach bags outlet, we promise).
Guess what coach outlet, we found it. The brand is called Deep Blue and they offer a line of watches that are meant to be worn under water, deep underwater. They offer 1 model good to 200m, one model good to 500m, and TWO models that are rated to 1000m below the surface...the most expensive of all will cost you just $499 (actually even less with our help, but we'll get to that later).
The second, and perhaps most influential reason, is the aura surrounding Enzo Mechana. The brand is led by a charismatic man that sells his own lifestyle as much as he does his watches. People want to be associated with him as a person, and while we do not doubt that it was he who designed this particular style of deep diving case first, we are unsure that equates to his watches being worth 3x the price of something like the Master Diver. We'll leave that up to you...
One thing that the Deep Blue did better than the Enzo was light up in the dark. They have used a special blue Lum that while not as bright as the LUM-TEC M5, it certainly lasts longer, requires no charging, and is much brighter than 95% of the lums on other watches.
After our week of testing, told the people at Deep Blue our thoughts, and to thank us, they decided to give Hodinkee readers a discount on all purchases. And when we say discount coach outlet, we mean a big discount...35% off retail.

So we reached out to the man behind the brand, an industry veteran whose projects we've featured in the past. He told us that just like with Panatime, he saw a void that simply wasn't being filled and he filled it. He knew people wanted a watch that was rugged and good looking but didn't necessarily want to spend over $1000.
