Fact: Not all dive watches are created equal. Another fact? They don’t all look like black mini computers that often cameo on the wrists of pros going face-to-face with Jaws. Those who don’t take their crusades under water all that seriously have Gucci to thank for livening up the dive watch game in 2022. Its latest venture in the popular genre sees bio-based materials (at least 46 per cent for bracelet and 65 per cent for the case) as Gucci Dive’s main hook, a sleek rubbery material that matches your wet suit and will wick away moisture after a heavy downpour. And even if your idea of diving involves a bath tub and aromatic candles, the Gucci Dive won’t look out of place in your pic for the ‘gram. Furthermore, those who want to let those around know your love for Mother Nature is a forever kinda deal, the fashion house has lavished these 40mm self-winding timekeepers in tree-hugging colours like aquamarine and moss green. Also, watch as the bee and star motifs on the dial give out a cool glow in the darkness too. And there you thought dive watches are only for geeks with Aquaman ambitions.
