The AQUADIVE watches were highly sought after wrist wear diving instruments during 60s and 70s, thanks to their toughness and reliability under extreme conditions. These extreme timepieces were hand crafted yet highly functional and made them the go-to watch of professional divers around the world.

After years of planning, the iconic AQUADIVE brand has been re launched by a team of watch experts and divers. A new line-up of watches was introduced in 2011, paying tribute to the great watches of the past, while remaining 100% authentic. Every AQUADIVE watch is produced to the highest industry standard, assembled by hand in Switzerland.

The first series of watches being introduced in 2011/ 2012 is partially made of genuine Aquadive new old stock components. Aquadive founders have made a commitment in 2004 to stick to the true roots of watchmaking in Switzerland and Germany, also to expand manufacturing to offer in-house made cases and other watch parts in the near future. Parts not originating from Europe are all then further processed and finished in Europe; they are carefully selected, and are made under inspection of Aquadive engineers on site.
