It sells for $200-250, depending on where you buy it, which is an extremely reasonable price.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a true diver &#8211; a 200m ISO rated watch.

Dive watches are super versatile. The only time I wouldn\u2019t wear this is with a suit. But it looks awesome with casual, smart casual or even business casual outfits.<\/p>\n<p>Jeans and a button up?
