His replica TAG Heuer Aquaracer watches are rated to an amazing 1000m (or 3300ft) below the su***ce, the same as the soon to be released uber diving watch 500 Fathoms and about 3x the depth of the ubiquitous Rolex Submariner (good to 300m). That is all well and good, but his watches retail for around $1500 and we know people are looking for that kind of performance for under $500.Guess what, we found it. The brand is called Deep Blue and they offer a line of replica TAG Heuer Aquaracer watches that are meant to be worn under water, deep underwater. They offer 1 model good to 200m, one model good to 500m, and TWO models that are rated to 1000m below the su***ce...the most expensive of all will cost you just $499 (actually even less with our help, but we'll get to that later). So we reached out to the man behind the brand, an industry veteran whose projects we've featured in the past. He told us that just like with Panatime, he saw a void that simply wasn't being filled and he filled it.
We at Hodinkee really like to give you what you ask for. In fact we even opened up a service to do just that with our watch finders....since we launched back in late January we have helped over 700 people find the watches of their dreams, and we have about 100 more in the queue that we're working on (we'll get to you soon, we promise).When reading these requests, we noticed a trend. There were countless people out there looking for a serious diving watch that was under $500. We aren't talking about a diving watch that LOOKS serious, but one that can actually withstand the pressure associated with deep diving, as well as the everyday beating that people who dive put their replica TAG Heuer Aquaracer watches through. A few weeks ago we mentioned an inspiring brand (that caused a bit of commenter controversy) called Enzo Mechana.
