Their Orient Mako Automatic collection features professional-grade diver. Entry-level TAG Heuer timepieces feel generic and lack the soul of some of its similarly priced competitors – there are definitely better places to start your watch-collecting journey. about crafting high-quality, accurate, and affordable mechanical watches. The aesthetics of the $1500 Longines Heritage 1945 or the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date blow the Carrera away too. I personally don’t think it’s better finished or more technically impressive than say, a $500 Tissot Le Locle or Hamilton Jazzmaster. Why not: The above-pictured TAG Heuer Carrera has an MSRP of S$4K, and a market price of roughly half that. It does not store any personal data.The TAG Heuer Carrera – plain Jane, but with a significant price tag.

At just 7.2mm tall, it’s hard to believe there’s an automatic movement inside, but of course it’s beautiful finishing is on display via the caseback’s sapphire crystal if you need a reminder. The result is a practical, automatic watch appropriate for casual and formal occasions that wears nearly identically to the classic hand cranked version. The real star of the show is the DUW 3001 movement, an in-house automatic caliber which has been engineered by Nomos to be nearly as thin as their hand wound Alpha caliber. The Tangente is their signature watch, with straight lugs that angle sharply downward at their end point, giving the watch a profile unlike anything else. Nomos is a German brand, heavily influenced by Bauhaus design, but with an added focus on building their own movements in house and developing their own whimsical style from within the brand. If you’d like, you can think of the Nomos Tangente Neomatik as a slightly higher end contemporary twist on the Max Bill Automatic discussed earlier. And while the Superocean might only have 100 meters of water resistance, it’s a compelling compromise if you’re looking for vintage style from one of the key Swiss brands in a highly wearable package. That’s a really well sized watch at $4,835 – this is a price point where you’re normally sacrificing thinness for robustness.
What you may not realize, however, is that the Superocean Heritage ‘57 is actually one of the most well proportioned dive watches on the market today, with a diameter of 42mm and a case height of 9.9mm. The Superocean Heritage ‘57 is based on a classic design from (you guessed it) 1957, and the watch is loaded with midcentury charm, from the unique hour markers to the classic typefaces used on the dial. These watches are famous for a reason, but if you’re doing a survey of Swiss divers, you’d be remiss not to hit on Breitling. When you think of dive watches from the big name heritage Swiss brands, Submariners and Seamasters likely come to mind first.
