Hosting an impressive selection of water resistant watches, the Gucci Dive watch collection breaks the mould of typical fashion timepieces and offers exceptional functionality, durability and toughness all while looking the part.
When most of us think of Gucci, we picture glamourous models strutting down the catwalk and stunning designer bags, shoes and jewellery all adorned with the famous double G motif. Yes, Gucci has a large focus on aesthetics, it’s why they’ve become such a legendary fashion House but what many might not realise is their dedication to innovation and craftsmanship, especially when it comes to their luxury watches. Gucci first began to engineer their own timepieces back in 1972 in the watch making centre of the world Switzerland. Here they combine Swiss manufacturing traditions with Italian flair and Gucci detailing to create an incredible selection of Gucci watches.
One of their best-selling collections for men and women with a passion for adventure is the Gucci Dive. Ranging in size and designed to withstand deep water expeditions, these high-performance timepieces have become synonymous with durability and sophistication. Many of the pieces in the range are water resistant up to 200 metres and come equipped with a quartz powered Swiss made ETA movements offering only the best in precision and performance. We’re also treated to large ratcheted unidirectional bezels adorned with 60 minute scales, water resistant straps and Superluminova hardware for effortless legibility. Here are some of our favourite pieces in the Gucci Dive watch collection.
