I am looking at getting a new dive watch under 3k. I am looking at a Breitling Superocean II 42mm and an Omega Seamaster Diver 300m 212.30.41.20.03.001. Am I missing a better option for my price range?

I would also suggest a TUDOR Pelagos or a DOXA Aqua Lung.

I have heard good things about DOXA, but have had trouble finding them except through their own website. Is that the only place to buy a new one?

No, you can buy a brand new DOXA via Amazon.

Pelagos or black bay for me. Lots of options though and the 2 you mention are good. Get a discount though.

The Seamaster can be bought for really close to $3k from an AD. You can get it for $2500 grey market. That would be my pick in that price range. It simply wears really well

New as in "brand new from factory" or "new to you but pre-owned is ok"

Pelago, Seamaster Pro with ceramic bezel insert, Oris Aqus, Seiko SBDX001, Tuna would be my top choices.

I would prefer new out of the box, but I would do a mint pre owned.

Seamaster 300m for sure.

Seamaster

SM300 and Black Bay are awfully hard to beat at those price points.

breitlings · 5 October 2017, 08:48 AM

Avenger II Seawolf and Steelfish I would add to your list as well. Pelagos is cool.
