I'm looking for a "low price" Citizen or Seiko TITANIUM dive watch

[Mr_Pacman]

Hello,

I'm lusting for something in titanium, and would like to keep the price around $300 or so. I'm open to buying new or used.

I figure a Seiko or Citizen would fit the bill.

I know about the Citizen NY0054 titanium automatic.....

is there anything else in quartz or auto, in titanium from either company in a dive watch?

I'm open to rubber or metal strap, but would like something that I can fit aftermarket straps on (I don't want a proprietary lug system).

I would prefer sapphire, but mineral will work as well. If there are aftermarket sapphire crystals available....that's even better.


Any suggestions?

Thanks
James

Hey James, here are a few to consider, I've tried to include links. As you can see, some of them are a bit over $300 when new:

My personal favourites are the JV0050 and the BJ8401. The former is great for actual diving and the latter is especially robust. Some of these Citizens will need adapters if you want to use aftermarket straps, though. Best of luck and let us know of your decision.

PS: Nice location!

Hey Statick,

Thanks very much for taking the time to put together that list. The first Seiko with the charcoal grey dial looks interesting. I'll poke around those links and see if anything suits my needs.

It's supposed to be 9* in a few days......we need to thaw out after the deep freeze a few weeks ago. :)
