Your dive watch(es) with a suit/formal attire?

[mr00jimbo]

Okay so it looks like most newbies who want a dive watch are concerned about how well it will work with business attire. They don't want to look out of place when wearing a dive watch with a suit. Traditionally, dress watches and dive watches have been on separate corners of the watch world but recently and into the 21st century, dressy dive watches from look great to "fine" with a suit.

I figure to help newbies out, we could try and contribute what our own watches look like when paired with a suit. I didn't put this in images because I wanted to allow free discussion.

Do you wear your dive watch(es) with a suit and if so how do they look (pics)

My blue 41 mm automatic Longines Hydroconquest - watch purposefully obscured by sleeve to show what it would look like in a normal setting when you're not looking at it.

Not very "metro" of me, but I have to admit I just don't care.

I pretty much wear whatever watch I feel like wearing on a given day. Most of the time work attire is a button down shirt with slacks, but sometimes it's a suit.

Whether the watch I choose to wear "goes with" the rest of my wardrobe is- in my mind anyway- irrelevant.

BTW, I like that Longines.

I agree that the blue longines hydroconquest can go with suits.

Yes sir! I was wearing my Breitling and Sub Mariner’s back in the 80’s and 90’s when I wore suits every working day. I’d wear the SS Sub Mariner and Brietling (don't ask me why) mostly on the week ends or when I was in a casual mode.

Your Longines’ looks right at home with your suit!...

I'm not sure I totally agree that "dress watches and dive watches have been on separate corners of the watch world". I've noticed losts of people with suits and dive watches (Rolex, Tags Omegas) for 20 years. I guess these could be considered dress divers though (The submariner is a pretty classic dress watch too IMO).

If we are talking about tool divers over the last 5 years or so I would agree, but mainly because many of them are so impractically large and thick (some ridiculously so) that they won't fit under a cuff.

Diver with a suit - of course.

This, yes:














But not this:

As long as the size and color are appropriate with a suit that's all that matters. The fact that it is a sport watch doesn't take away from its ability to be worn with formal attire.

Its one of the main reasons the CD-1 was designed. Still not built yet, but it is the reason behind it.

I don't have to wear suit much, if I did, I would wear the white Seiko Sawtooth

why not ?

just make sure, pick a dive watch that is fit under the cuff.
