There is no doubt that diving watches hold a special place in the hearts of many collectors, ourselves included. In fact, Analog:Shift was founded nearly ten years ago with its eyes set squarely on vintage divers.

With their simple designs and robust movements, the tool watches of the 1960s and 1970s were built to accompany the adventurer across the globe and to keep time at its great heights as well as its dark depths.

Today, the dive watch segment is stronger than ever with the spirit of an era past living on in the full spectrum of the market - from entry-level micro-brands, all the way up.

In the late 1970s, Heuer was looking to capitalize on the demand for dive watches, and they succeeded. Today, Tag Heuer features a full-line of dive watches with different shapes, sized, and movements.

This watch, a Reference WAY2112.BA0928 comes in at 41mm and features an extremely attractive luminous sunburst blue dial with horizontal lines and a matching handset, a unidirectional rotating stainless steel dive timing bezel, an excellent bracelet with a locking deployant clasp, and a robust and dependable Calibre 5 automatic-winding movement. 

If you are looking for a good looking, functional, and affordable option into the dive-watch segment, we think that this is an excellent option.
