WatchDives is a Chinese watch brand and retailer established in 2019 by a team of passionate watch enthusiasts. Based in Hong Kong, the company originally began by producing watches for other well-known companies before launching its own eponymous brand to serve a global audience of collectors. The brand has developed a significant following due to its focus on high-specification timepieces offered at accessible price points. Collectors are often drawn to the brand for its iterative design process, which frequently incorporates community feedback to improve models, and its use of reliable Japanese movements such as the Seiko NH35 automatic and the VH31 sweep-seconds quartz.
The brand’s catalog is defined by several key collections and models: – WD1863 Chronograph: A versatile 39mm pilot-style chronograph powered by the Japan VK63 meca-quartz movement.
– WD007 Series: A collection of titanium tool watches, including the WD007Q Seafarer, which features a 39mm case and a vintage-inspired aesthetic.
– WD5513 Vintage Sub: A tribute to classic diver designs, available with various movements including the PT5000 and the Miyota 9015, featuring a “top hat” sapphire crystal.
– WD7922: A compact 37mm diver utilizing the VH31 movement, recognized for its wearable proportions and functional design.
– Original Designs: Beyond homages, the brand offers unique pieces like the WD0016B with a square-block faceted dial and the Elementum series featuring natural stone or enamel dials.
