Looking for a Deep Black Dial under $1k

Pre-owned Sinn 556i if you haggle a bit...

That Traska is a pretty solid choice for under $1000. Is there a reason you are not considering it?

Farer may have something worth considering.

I've been looking at them also!

The Traska is my first option so far but wanted to see if there is anything out there that I might not be aware of.

You should look at Venezianco, the specialize in a Vanta Black alternative well under $1K.

Gotcha! Its not under $1000 but in the future if you are able to check out the Longines Legend Diver. Best deep black dial I have had so far. Its the laquered finish on this that made me order the Traska in the white dial. For the price point you are looking at, I would also check out the Hamilton Khaki Expedition and maybe the Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot too. You can usually negotiate 20% off at ADs. Great movements for the price point!

I love that Legend Diver. Is that the 39mm or 42?

That's a cool CWC!

Thanks

In no particular order:

• Frederique Constant Classics ($800)

• Ball Fireman Enterprise ($1000)

• Tissot PR 100 ($600)

• Hamilton Jazzmaster ($600)

• Citizen TSUYOSA ($360)

• Seiko SARB033 (~$500 used)

Would say the Traska

Love the list. Thank you Chris!

CW Trident Pro 300, has an inky black dial option and comes in 38/40/42mm so you can have you’re pick. Also their bader bracelet is quite nice from my experience and has on the fly adjustment.

I bought my CW second hand in perfect condition for less than 1K

Here are some watches from Jomashop (NOS) that might interest you:

These are all under $1,000.00

Cheers!

This CW (Trident Pro 300) is on my list in that very category.

And this Timex is certainly interesting but only if you can get it for the right price.

Christopher Ward C63 if on a budget. Sinn 556 if not.

39 mm! Also, take a look at the Doxa Sub 200. Very good option under $1000!

Ocean Crawler does a really nice Ultra Black

Get the Traska you will not be disappointed!

I think I'm gonna save up a little and go for the Legend diver eventually. Thanks for all the recommendations!

That is an awesome choice! COSC movement and good looks its a great watch. If you have watches you’d be willing to trade out get in touch with Topper Jewelers. They can offer a discount on Longines too. No sales tax and shipping outside CA.

Will definitely do so. Thank you Lauren!
