Speaking of dive watches, this is incoming some time this fall or winter: Sinn U50 S Limited Edition with blue dial and black tegimented* steel case and bracelet. Limited to 500 pieces worldwide. The tegimented Sinns are virtually scratch and nick-proof. 
From Sinn: "When designing this new watch, Sinn wanted to create something bold and unique. As the blue gradient dial fades to black around the edges, it is reminiscent of how the blue of the ocean darkens as it deepens. Fitting for a dive watch."
*–The Tegiment process is not a coating consisting of a foreign material; instead the steel itself that has been hardened using a special engineering process that creates a hardened barrier. The base material is a type of stainless steel also used for surgical implants, and the stainless steel resistance to corrosion is further improved by the Tegiment hardening process. The primary advantages to a Tegimented case are extreme resistance to scratches and other case abrasions, as well as increased resistance to corrosion.
