Ben's Watch Club

Recommended: Invicta Pro Diver

Gold version, other colors available

Want a dive watch that looks like a Rolex…but only have $100? The Invicta Pro Diver has you covered. Admittedly, Invicta is known to create some monstrously ugly watches, however, the Pro Diver is their best-selling watch, and for good reason.

Automatic Version

The automatic version of this watch features a Seiko movement, pretty decent build quality, and the classic submariner look. There are several color/style variants of it available, including some with alternative bezel shapes to fit your taste. This is a great starter diving watch, which has featured in numerous Ben’s Watch Club videos and roundups.

Quartz 37.5mm Pro Diver

Quartz Version

Perhaps the next most popular Pro Diver is the smaller quartz option, which I showed in my small dive watches roundup. It's a dream for slim wrists, with the smallest diameter of any I'm featuring today, at just 37.5mm, meaning it will likely fit even the slightest of you out there. Upsides include the fairly good case finishing, the surprisingly low price, and the decent bracelet. It does carry over the unnecessary side engraving from the automatic model, but for very little money, it’s a world-beater; especially at it’s size.
