10 Reasons Men Over 55 Are Done Paying $600 for a Name on the Dial
Most $600 dive watches are priced for the name, then fog, flood or die when you need them. The Trident 300 was built the other way around.
Trident 300 vs. The Watch on Your Wrist
Same job as a $600 diver. No battery changes, no charging, and a price that isn't padded for a name. 👇
You will never buy a battery for this watch. Not once.
Daylight charges it. A window charges it. The lamp on your desk charges it. No cell to replace in three years, no jeweller’s counter, no “leave it with us for a week.” Our own buyers rank this above price as the reason they chose it.
Nobody ever opens this case, which is why water never gets in
Every watch you have lost died at a hole. A battery hatch. A crown pushed instead of screwed. A gasket opened one time too many. The Trident has a screw-down crown and no battery door at all, because a solar movement does not need one. The factory seal stays shut for the life of the watch.
The U.S. Navy asked for 49 feet. This does roughly 1,000.
In December 1944 the Navy’s Bureau of Ships published FSX-797, its first specification for a submersible wristwatch. It called for 49 feet, and the fix was a second crown screwed down over the first. By 1961 the requirement was 400 feet. The Trident is rated to 300 metres (1000 feet) and seals the same way that 1944 watch did.
A scratched watch face is a choice
Sapphire, not mineral, not Hardlex. It is the difference between a watch that looks like this in year five and one that looks like a windscreen. Ask what crystal your last watch had. That is why you cannot read it in sunlight any more.
Put it on a kitchen scale. That is the only test you can actually run.
You can't test 300 meters at your kitchen table. But you can weigh it. On the steel bracelet, the Trident comes in at about 180 g (6.3 oz). That weight is where the money goes: a solid steel case, a screw-down crown, full links. Pick it up and you'll feel it's built like a tool, not a toy.
45% off while this allocation lasts. Then it goes back.
This is the lowest we have run the Trident. Free shipping, 30-day returns, two-year warranty, and black on rubber is down to 16 units, the live warehouse figure rather than a marketing number. When a colourway closes, the discount closes with it.
Six seconds a month. Your last watch lost that by Tuesday.
Nineteen owners raised accuracy without being asked. One measured six seconds a month. Another was still to the second after three days. One told us what he had been living with on a watch costing four times as much: ten to twenty seconds gained every twelve hours.
Big face. Bold white hands. Nothing else on the dial.
More than eight in ten Trident owners are over 55, and they know what they want from a watch: tell the time at a glance. A 46 mm case (1.8 in), bold baton hands, a flat black or deep blue dial. No sub-dials, no clutter, no date window crammed in at three. You glance and you know.
BRIGHT WHEN IT'S DARK. NO BUTTON NEEDED.
Bold lumed markers and thick lumed hands. Charge it in daylight and it reads clearly in the dark, whether you're at depth, in a tent or checking the time at 3am. No button, no backlight, no battery. Just glance.
30 days to send it back. Two years if anything breaks. No questions.
Wear it. Swim in it. Put it under a tap. If it is not the watch we said it is, send it back inside 30 days and we refund it. Anything fails inside two years, we repair or replace and pay the return postage. What do you have to lose?

FAQs
Most $600 dive watches are priced for the name on the dial and the marketing behind it. We sell direct, skip the retail markup and don't pay for ambassadors. The money goes into the watch: sapphire, a 300 m rating, a screw-down crown and a solar movement.
A normal quartz diver runs on a battery behind a hatch. Every few years someone opens that hatch, and that is where water and dust get in. This one charges from light and has no hatch to open.
30 ATM, 300 metres, with a unidirectional bezel and a screw-down crown. The rating is on the dial, so check it on the watch rather than taking our word for it here.
There is a rechargeable cell inside that light keeps topped up. You never replace it and you never open the case to reach it.
