Gucci Dive Quartz watch, 45mm
Ref. YA136208A
Sits in Gucci’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Gucci watches we list, which start at £359.
Price range £359 to £8,130 across 58 Gucci watches in stock.The Dive line is Gucci's attempt to take a sport rating seriously without abandoning the house's appetite for colour and surface play. The rotating bezel's green-red-green countdown scale is a nod to the brand's signature stripe rather than a concession to it, and on a matte black dial with circle-style indices it reads as composed rather than loud. At 8mm, this is a remarkably thin case for a 45mm watch rated to 200 metres — most tool divers at this depth carry considerably more bulk, and the result here is a piece that sits closer to the wrist than the diameter might suggest, and disappears under a cuff with less protest than expected. The brushed steel bracelet and three-blade deployant keep it practical without reading as purely functional.

Learn more about Gucci
Guccio Gucci opened a leather goods shop in Florence in 1921, and the house became one of the defining Italian luxury brands of the twentieth century.
Gucci's watches occupy unusual ground. Unlike most fashion houses, Gucci produces in Switzerland through its own facility in La Chaux-de-Fonds, and the watches carry Swiss Made designation. The G-Timeless line uses Swiss quartz and automatic movements, and recent references have included in-house-adjacent complications.
The design language is unmistakably Gucci — the green-red-green web stripe, the interlocking Gs, bee and snake motifs — applied to cases that are generally well proportioned. It sits above the licensed-fashion category without claiming to compete with the Swiss manufactures.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Yes. At 200m it is rated for swimming, snorkelling and recreational diving.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedCheapest place to buy
Both Mappin & Webb and Goldsmiths list it at £1,400, so choose on delivery and warranty rather than price.
