Best ND Diver

I know, I know... the ND submariner.... possibly looking into a 14060m, but wondering what alternatives are available.

Looking for a ND diver as a weekend and vacation watch.

Thanks!

Well, he did ask for the "best".

Any 14060 variant would do the trick. Luminova dial and hands for durability. This thread was answered in the first post, really.

It depends on how much money you want to spend. There are great Seikos from $1,000 usd and down. Doxa also makes a durable diver for about $2,000 usd.

If you can live without a dive bezel, the Nomos Ahoi is a solid diver around $2500

A top grade Seiko diver with 6R15 movement (so not Marine Master) will run you around $1000 but they generally have a date

Does the Omega Seamaster Master Co-Axial count as a diver?

I think it is. It's my favorite sport watch and diver. The Omega Seamaster 300 Co-Axial.

I'll be buying the BB58 as soon as my AD calls, I would also consider the NOMOS Ahoi as mentioned above, hard to beat NOMOS in their price category. Panerai has that new 38mm Diver if you want to stay on the smaller side, it may have a date tho.

I looked really hard at a two-liner 14060m for just such a use.

Ended up buying a Pelagos LHD. Love it and zero regrets.

Here is a pic of it surfing with me in Costa Rica.
