Why This Watch Matters This Alpha Diver is a great example of a tool watch done well. The Full Story Alpha watches may not be at the top of their game now, but this vintage dive watch example proves that they knew what they were doing back in the day. This diver boasts a compact stainless-steel case, rich black dial, and oversized indexes with Arabic numerals on the quarter hours. There is a date window, which might not be your thing, but we promise this one is discreet. If dive watches are your thing, this is a great one from a lesser known brand.
