Six states. 64,000 square miles. 18 trillion gallons of water.

The amount of geographical, wildlife, and cultural diversity found in the Chesapeake Bay area is truly awe-inspiring.

So much so that we designed a collection of dive watches to express our love for this region and everything it contains.

While the term “dive watch” typically inspires visions of tropical beaches, palm trees, and coconuts, there’s actually a long history of oyster-diving in the Chesapeake Bay, starting back in the early '70s.

These murky and frigid waters can be extremely challenging –– especially during the harsh winter months.

Successful oyster divers require stamina, endurance, and above all else: passion.

As a generational oyster diver once said, “To do very well, the stars have to align and you need intense attention to detail.”

Not unlike watchmaking, come to think of it.
