Gucci Dive watch, 40mm
Ref. YA136357
Sits in Gucci’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Gucci watches we list, which start at £499.
Price range £499 to £8,130 across 58 Gucci watches in stock.Gucci's Dive collection is an unusual proposition — a house better known for runway accessories applying genuine dive-watch engineering to a piece that still carries the brand's decorative instincts. The result here is a silver dial bearing the house's bee motif at its centre, paired with an 18ct yellow-gold-plated unidirectional bezel sitting against bare steel on the case and bracelet. That contrast is deliberate: the gold ring reads as an ornament until you remember it is also the functional insert that keeps a diver honest about elapsed bottom time. At 11mm thick for a watch rated to 300 metres, it wears considerably flatter than the depth rating would suggest, and the 40mm diameter keeps it from reading as a sport watch that has wandered onto the wrong wrist. The 38-hour power reserve from the Swiss automatic movement is workable rather than generous — enough to survive a weekend left in a drawer, no more.

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 300m it is rated for swimming, snorkelling and recreational diving.
Will the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Does it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
How long does it run for when it's not worn?
About 38 hours fully wound — so it will usually stop if you leave it off overnight.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's, though at 40mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
Cheapest place to buy
Goldsmiths is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
Who are Goldsmiths?
Goldsmiths has been selling watches in Britain since 1778 and is part of the Watches of Switzerland Group, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange. They are an authorised dealer, so a watch comes with the manufacturer’s own warranty.
