Looking for a diver with a super-sparse dial...

[woodenbull]

Can you guys think of other divers with super-sparse-dials, that are super-easy to read the time at a glance ?

Sinn U1, Ennebi & Panerai come to mind. Trying to stay within Max price $3000.

Any other suggestions ?

thanks guys...

I think you can get the UTS 1000M V2 for under that, certainly you could used. Hexa 500 might work for you. Kemmner has some very minimal dials.

Dievas Vortex?

Check out UTS watches, their models have simple, legible dials and are within your price range

Sparse dials? Any Halios watch.

How about MKII Paradive no-date?

Leaves a bit of room for something else too.

I'll second the MKII recommendation. Many of Bill's watches are about as sparse as it gets. Eddie Platts at Time Factors also makes some very legible models.

Just about anything from Ocean7 and for $3k you'll be able get 3 of 'em because most of them are under $1k

I suspect that some of the elegance in the OP's examples come from the fact that only hour indicators (and not minute indications) are present on some Panerai & Ennebi's - that sparsifies the dials nicely (if, admittedly it might reduce functionality a bit).

Another example that I own, and has for now atleast, scratched the Panerai itch is the SAS SEA-01. A really well made/designed/considered watch for the cost. It does have minute markers, but doesn't waste designs elements on ornament.



Another watch, which I tried on recently and was really surprised by, was the new U-Boat U42 at 47mm (they have the gaul to market it as a ladies watch). It has some elements from both the Panerai Subs and Ennebi, but with it's own look. I know this brand is the target of much ire here on WUS (and some of it deserved) - but I was really impressed by this one - it has no minute markers, and can be had for around $3300 (grey) and probably a good deal less used.



Also, I'm not sure how much the IWC aquatimer vintage goes for, but it's really clean and classic.

Good luck, I'd be curious to know if you end up finding 'the one' on this search
