Looking for a dive watch in the 1K range that I can wear as an every day watch i.e. pretty durable

So far on my short list is:
-Armida A-1 with the swiss movement and domed saphire
-Zixen Nitrox II 500m
-Ocean 7 LM-1 with the hardened bezel and bracelet


Any other reccomendations in that general price range?  I could even go up into the 1500 price range but would prefer to keep it to 1K since it's going to get knocked about a bit

Marathon SAR , CWC diver auto, Ollech&Wajs divers...
Those watches are builded to withstand beating, been tested in real life for that since long and are all way under 1K.

+1 on Marathon, and would also look at a Laco squad 20atm (mine has taken a hell of a beating with no issues what so ever, and it´s also quite unique looking imo ...)

Good luck on the decision, and post up.

Oris TT-1, beautifully made watch right in your range. i have had one for years and it has proven to be tough and reliable. i am always amazed at the quality of the fit and finish you get for the dollar on this watch every time i wear it
