Scurfa Watches is a British microbrand founded in 2013 by professional saturation diver Paul Scurfield and his wife Alison. The brand was established with the specific goal of providing high-specification, affordable tool watches capable of withstanding the extreme pressures of commercial diving. Scurfield’s background as a professional diver is a central element of the brand’s identity, as he personally tests prototypes in deep-sea environments to ensure their reliability and functionality.
Enthusiasts are often drawn to Scurfa for this functional approach to design and the high level of technical specifications offered at a competitive price point. The brand is recognized for its commitment to creating genuine tool watches, which is reflected in their use of “tool box” style packaging and specialized iterations like the M.S. (Military Specification) series.
The brand’s catalog is anchored by several key models: – Diver One: The flagship model, a utilitarian timepiece available in stainless steel or titanium, featuring a heliox escape valve, water resistance up to 500 meters, and highly legible dials with Grade A SuperLuminova.
– Treasure Seeker: An automatic model featuring a Miyota 9015 movement and a distinctive honeycomb dial.
– Bell Diver 1: Another notable automatic piece in the collection designed for professional use.
– Swiss Ronda Quartz Models: A core part of the lineup chosen for their reliability and shock resistance in demanding professional settings.
