1) TagHeuer Aqua Racer
The first watch in this list is the AquaRacer Calibre 5 by TagHeuer. It is the least expensive one of the three with a RRP of 2.300€, definitely a great value for your money!
The AquaRacer is available in two sizes: 41mm and 43mm. The case of the watch as well as the bracelet is made from 316L steel. The surfaces on the case, caseback, bracelet and clasps are brushed and the sides are nicely polished. On top sits a scratch resistant sapphire crystal.
The bezel is graded the way you would expect it from a diver and unidirectional, of course.
Tag Heuer added a quick-adjustment to the well-made folding clasp which lets you adjust the watch within 1cm without using any tools.
The black dial with its horizontal grooves sports the TagHeuer logo in sharp, white letters as well as some white and yellow color accents.
In terms of movement the Aqua Racer is really lacking compared to the submariner: Within the watch you’ll find the Calibre5 with a 38h power reserve, which is a slightly modified ETA2824 or Selita SW200-1. Both standard automatic calibres which you can buy for about 150€. So, when buying the AquaRacer you have to settle with a standard movement and not an in-house product. Something that is probably not going to bother you on a daily basis but something you should be aware, I think.
2) TudorBlackBay
With its 41mm in Diameter the Tudor (3.480€) looks and feels significantly bulkier than the submariner but given the fact that the Black Bay measures 15mm in height it comes as no surprise. The crown on the side is also a lot bigger than what we are used to from Rolex.
The Black Bays case, case back and bracelet are made from 316L steel - partly brushed and polished on the sides. Overall the finishing looks a bit rougher than that on a submariner but that has also become one of Tudors well- loved trademarks. Additional to that we also have what looks like riveting on the bracelet even though those rivets are actually pins that hold together the links, the rest is just for looks. The clasp has no quick adjustment and no glide lock either.
The bezel inlay on this Black Bay is not ceramic but aluminium which – for one – means, that the color is going to fade over time due to UV-radiation - and second – that this bezel is definitely not as scratch resistant as other ceramic bezels. But since this is a diver, it is also unidirectional and you can even adjust it to the second. The crystal on this watch is sapphire and underneath sits a dial that is definitely almost up there with Rolex when it comes to its quality: well-made hour markers with lumes, super sharp inscription which tell you about the 200m water resistance and the Black Bays chronometer certification and you also have the renowned Tudor- snow flake hands.
With the black bay you definitely get a lot of bang for the buck, especially because you also get an inhouse movement from Tudor. The automatic caliber MT5602 is very precise due to its COSC certification including a 70h power reserve.
3) Omega Seamaster 300m
The Omega Seamaster Diver 300 has a case diameter of 42mm and a height of 12,8mm. The case is made from 316L steel, with sand blasted sides and the characteristically Omega-polished edges.
In this video I am showing the rubber strap version, which is ideal for the summer due to its material with an RRP of 4.450€.
In addition to the screw down crown, the seamaster has also a helium escape valve on the side.
The unidirectional bezel inlay is made from ceramic with a white enameled diving scale.
The rubber strap version has a pin buckle, so adjusting the size is as easy. But the stainless steel version does not disappoint either: It comes not only with a glidelock with a 2cm adjustment span but also an additional dive extension with an extra 1 cm in length.
The black dial can be seen through a nonreflecting sapphire crystal. It is also made from polished ceramic, which gives it this shiny, deep black look.
The hands as well as the hour markers are extremely well made and have super luminova aplied to them.
At 6 o clock we can also find the date but without the magnifying glass on top of it. The Omega Seamaster Diver 300m is powered by Omegas inhouse calibre 8800. This calibre is not only COSC but also Metas certified, which means that those calibres are not only as precise as the ones from Rolex but they are also more resistant against magnets.Another huge plus for me is the sapphire case back.
