1. Baltic Hermétique Summer
Baltic’s newest Hermétique release is summer distilled. With a vivid orange dial and a strap that sizzles with the same intensity, this model radiates sunshine from every angle.
The 37mm case in stainless steel will sit comfortably and confidently on your wrist, drawing the eye to a lustrous central sector bordered by two polished steel blades. Completing the look, a brushed black railway track encircles the dial, offering a crisp interplay of textures and tones.
Equipped with the Miyota Calibre 9039 movement, this watch offers a 42-hour power reserve and 150 metres of water resistance, ensuring durability and reliability for all your summer activities.
2. Beaucroft Element
If you’re chasing the sun-kissed glow, the Beaucroft Element delivers with its striking gradient sunburst dial; a real summer statement.
The beauty of the Beaucroft Element lies in the finer points. The dial is adorned with thick, highly polished batons that have been coated in rhodium for a sophisticated silver finish. At the top of the dial, a double index at 12 o’clock provides a signature touch. To top it off, every baton features a Super-LumiNova tip, giving you confidence and clarity even as the light fades.
Housed in a comfortably sized 39.5mm case, the Element is powered by the same trusted Miyota Calibre 9039 movement as the Baltic model above. On the other hand, it offers a water resistance rating of 200m.
3. DOXA SUB Carbon Professional
Crowned as the king of dive watches, DOXA brings bold innovation to the depths with this distinctive SUB 300 model, crafted in striking black forged carbon. Its legendary Professional colour scheme radiates summer’s warmth and energy, making it as much a style icon as a high-performance dive companion.
Housed in a bold 42.5mm cushion-shaped case, this powerhouse is engineered for adventure. Its robust pressure-resistant titanium core safeguards the high-precision COSC-certified chronometer within, while the carbon unidirectional bezel is also carbon-made.
No matter how deep you venture, the dial’s dive markers glow boldly with Super-LumiNova, delivering exceptional clarity when you need it most. Backed by a robust 300-metre water resistance, this SUB 300 stands ready for your boldest underwater pursuits.
4. Christopher Ward C60 Trident Reef 41mm
If you love a good cause, check this next model. The C60 Trident Reef by Christopher Ward stands as both a tribute to the beauty of coral reefs and a passionate plea to safeguard these vital ecosystems for future generations.
Equipped with the ultra-legible Trident display, this dive watch is built for clarity under the waves. The dial features a distinct inner ring that sets off the vibrant colour at its centre, while the bold outer diving bezel further amplifies the sense of contrast. The Trident Reef is available in 41mm and 44mm versions.
Driving this watch is the excellent Sellita SW200-1 movement, paired with your choice of a robust stainless steel bracelet or playful, interchangeable colour straps for endless styling options. Water resistance to 200m seals the deal, making it a true all-rounder. Pre-orders are available now at Time+Tide, with shipping slated for November.
5. DOXA SUB 200 Professional
Ideal for newcomers and seasoned collectors alike, the DOXA SUB 200 Professional is a more budget-friendly gateway into the brand’s storied diving legacy. Of course, it doesn’t hold back on style: the signature intense orange dial is front and centre.
At 42mm, the case strikes the perfect balance between presence and comfort, while the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal keeps your watch looking flawless through every adventure. The dial is designed for instant legibility with baton indexes and hands treated with Super-LumiNova. Add to that a unidirectional bezel with glowing markers, and you’ve got a truly functional timepiece.
No matter how active your plans, the 200-metre water resistance keeps you covered. The default orange rubber strap turns heads, but there’s also the stainless steel bracelet on hand for a more classic feel.
