Every good watch rotation needs a solid dive watch, preferably more than one. That’s because dive watches have become a foundational style, striking, durable, and deceptively simple watches that make a strong but not overpowering statement when done right. Stuhrling makes some great ones, and during its massive fall sale, retail stalwart Macy’s has one of them on sale with what can only be called a massive discount.
The Stuhrling Depthmaster 3950A Quartz 42mm Dive Watch is on sale for $85 at Macy’s, 80% off its normal $425 price tag. This deal is only good on the blue dial with silvertone case and bracelet colorway, but that one manages to be both eye-catching and classic, a rare combination that makes this watch difficult to ignore, particularly for less than $100.

The first thing you’re likely to notice about this watch is the deep, rich shade of blue on the dial and coin edge bezel. It’s a fitting choice for a dive watch that can handle oceanic exploration and a color that makes the silver case, bracelet, and luminescent markings stand out. Practically, that’s great because it’s easy to read this watch, even if you’re checking the time underwater, but it also is a big part of why it works on an aesthetic level. It has an ultra-accurate Miyota movement, a fully adjustable stainless steel link bracelet, water resistance up to 100 meters, and a date window located at the 3 o’clock position.
