Yes, the Sinn 104. Its dual rotation bezel was made for cooking.

Every collection needs a dive watch.

If you are not wearing a watch, then I tend to not rationalise it too much. Sometimes we lose touch with a watch and thats ok. At times like these it pays dividends to have a watch that holds its value so we can flip them.

On the diver watch itself, I own a Sinn 104 and have owned the 65 (a few times). The Oris is not tough enough as a daily diver. I scratched mine up quite badly, the 65 is a lovely watch and very fun to wear,, very cool on wriost and the tropic strap is next level, but not as a primary diver. The Sinn is rock solid, a tank, but its not a diver per se.

My advice, EVERY watch collection needs a Seiko dive watch. Its just a watch commandment.
