Van Speyk Dutch Diver watches

Posted on 21 August 2021 at 11:14 AM

The high quality of Swiss and German watches is well known. But our own little country also offers watches of sublime quality. The Dutch brand Van Speyk offers reliable and solid watches, which are also stylish and elegant. This watch brand also offers an extremely good price/quality ratio, because Van Speyk watches are affordable.

Van Speyk is a still young watch brand and originated from a collaboration of entrepreneurs who could not find exactly what they were looking for at the existing watch brands. The name of this special Dutch brand refers to the Dutch hero Lieutenant Jan Carel Josephus van Speyk. As a seafarer, Van Speyk was nicknamed 'terror of the robbers' at the time. When he has to investigate shiploads in Antwerp, it is ambushed by Belgian insurgents. To prevent the ship from falling into their hands, he blew up the ship and was killed. With this, a national hero is born. In short, with a Van Speyk watch you immediately have an impressive piece of history to tell about when you receive a compliment about your watch. This is therefore a nice brand for an enthusiast with a preference for a brand with a history. The brand also stands for the Dutch identity and a piece of Dutch pride.

The Van Speyk collection offers high-quality watches that are made in the Netherlands. Within the collection, Van Speyk offers a wide diversity in terms of application, but certainly also in terms of appearance. We see particularly beautiful pilot watches, special Vitesse watches and very high-quality diving watches. In the latter group we are talking about the Van Speyk Dutch Diver watches, this watch series was introduced by Van Speyk in 2015. A good diving watch must of course meet various conditions. This goes a lot further than just having to be waterproof, although that is of course an important condition. In addition, a good diving watch must be sturdy and robust and can take a beating. Furthermore, a screw-down crown and a dial that can be read even in poor visibility are invaluable. The Dutch Diver watches from Van Speyk meet these conditions, so it is not for nothing that they fall under the diving watches with very good specifications.

The Dutch Diver watches from Van Speyk are absolutely very complete and also very attractive from an aesthetic point of view. After all, the eye also wants something. The watch straps of the Dutch Diver watches are made of stainless steel, which gives the watches a tough and robust appearance. In addition, extremely strong sapphire glass is used that is highly resistant to scratches or other damage. In addition, the watches are water resistant up to 200 meters. Different watches have been chosen with the dial and bezel in various colors. Colors such as blue, green and brown are examples of this. The Dutch Diver watches are equipped with an automatic movement of the brand Miyota (Citizen), which means that you are guaranteed to have a solid base for your watch. An automatic timepiece will also be preferred by many enthusiasts, since the old craft of the watchmaker is most prominent here. The watch case of the Dutch Diver watches is 12 mm thick and has a diameter of 42 mm.

Furthermore, the Dutch Diver watches offer beautiful extra functionalities with an absolute added value. Not only do they feature a seconds hand, date display and luminescent indicators, they also offer a rotating bezel and screw-down crown. With a watch from this series you are therefore assured of a diving watch with a very good water resistance, which can also be consulted in the dark.

Davosa, a brand we love. A watch brand that combines excellent quality with great prices and good after-sales. Recently Davosa presented its latest models from the Ternos Professional GMT series. Very nice watches that we like to write about.

Davosa Ternos Professional GMT watches

For the origin of the quality watches of the German brand Davosa, we have to go back to the Swiss Jura. Here the old craft of the watchmaker was an opportunity for the farmers there about 200 years ago to generate extra income and thus also bridge the winter months. Abel Frederique Hassler also started this profession in 1981, by producing a small edition of silver watch cases. He later manages to pass on the passion for this old craft from father to son, and a family business was born. The Hasler company starts in 1993 with the production of Davosa watches, which proves to be a great success. Davosa watches are a success story to this day and that is of course not for nothing. Davosa is known for its extremely good value for money, which means that you definitely get value for money with watches from this brand.

The Davosa watch collection is very diverse. This brand offers both sporty and classic models in the collection and a diverse range of high-quality materials and different colors are used. In combination with attractive prices and high quality, Davosa is able to appeal to a wide audience. The heart of the Davosa watches is formed by a Swiss movement from well-known brands such as ETA and Sellita, which of course provides a very reliable and solid basis. For many enthusiasts, the preference will be a Swiss made product such as that of Davosa, since these naturally have a very good name. With a Swiss made watch you are guaranteed to choose a beautiful piece for now and for the future. The Davosa collection consists of several beautiful series of watches. The Ternos and Argonautic models with a sporty look are the most popular and therefore offer top quality both technically and in terms of appearance.

Davosa has expanded the Ternos collection with several new Ternos Professional GMT models, which are definitely worth a look. These watches are among the top in the field of diving watches worldwide and therefore know how to perform under high pressure. The watches are water resistant up to 200 meters and offer an impressive list of beautiful extra functionalities. For starters, they feature a date display, second hand and luminescent indicators. The watch is also easy to read in the dark. In addition, the screw-down crown, rotating bezel and of course the GMT function, with which you can set a second time. The watches are of course equipped with a Swiss made automatic movement. In other words, these watches are very complete and offer all the features that a good diving watch should have.

The Davosa Ternos Professional GMT watches are fitted with a stainless steel strap. In addition, the well-known extremely strong sapphire glass has been chosen, on which scratches will not be visible quickly. The combination of the black dial and the rotating bezel in colors such as black, red and blue (or a combination of these) give the watches a very sporty character. The thickness of the watch case, which is made of stainless steel, is 15 mm and the diameter is 42 mm. Finally, these Davosa models close with a folding clasp.

The Davosa Ternos Professional GMT models are suitable for various activities due to their design, appearance and technical properties. So you can do sports, dive or snorkel with peace of mind. But these watches are also absolute eye-catchers for a business outfit or a casual dinner. Because Davosa watches are also attractively priced, this is also a very interesting brand for enthusiasts with a smaller budget. In addition to the above-mentioned Ternos Professional GMT models, Davosa also offers diving watches in the same series that are water resistant up to 500 meters. However, these Ternos Professional models do not offer a GMT function, but also various other extra functionalities.

We are very enthusiastic about Davosa watches and therefore offer a wide range of watches from this special brand. Both the Davosa Ternos models and the Argonautic watches are well represented with us. In terms of quality, these watches are comparable to more expensive brands, but better priced and in our opinion a very good choice. It is therefore not without reason that we have been working with Davosa as an official dealer for over 10 years. If you are looking for a watch of high quality, at a competitive price and are also a sports enthusiast, these watches from Davosa are an absolute must.

Of course you can order Davosa watches easily and safely from us. After ordering, you will receive your Davosa watch in a luxurious official box with a 2-year warranty and a clear manual at home. So choose affordable quality now, choose Davosa!
