You don't need to be a diver to appreciate the qualities of a well made dive watch. You don't even need water. There's a reason why dive watches continue to swell in popularity despite the fact that actual scuba divers now rely on dive computers strapped to their wrists. It's because a good dive watch is a sophisticated timepiece that is as stylish as it is durable—the kind of masculine watches that always look right on a man's wrist.

After all, there's something to be said about a watch that is refined enough to wear to the office, around town for a date and robust enough to take into the dark depths of the ocean. It's an essential watch for adventurers of all stripes. They may be specifically engineered for deep sea diving, but it doesn't mean that they can't be worn on your wrist while you're simply surfing the web at your desk. And Oris, known for making purely mechanical Swiss watches for more than a century, makes some of the best for your money. Here are three of our current favorites.
