Price range £150 to £199 across 15 Jacques du Manoir watches in stock.

The Pro Scuba sits in the specific and genuinely narrow category of the dress diver — a watch proportioned and finished to pass at a dinner table while remaining rated deep enough for actual use. The blue sunray dial with a magnified date at three and a coordinated two-tone scheme in royal blue, silver and gold PVD gives it the look of something more precious than a working tool, which is precisely the brief. The Ronda 517 driving it is a Swiss quartz calibre valued for its low current draw and long-term reliability — sensible engineering in a watch that might spend long periods between winding, or rather between battery changes. The rotating bezel, luminous indices and illuminated arrow-tipped seconds hand mean the dive functionality is genuine rather than decorative, and the butterfly clasp on the two-tone bracelet fastens securely enough to stay put in the water without fighting you on the wrist above ground.

Learn more about Jacques du Manoir

Jacques du Manoir is a Swiss-made brand sold largely through independent jewellers in Britain and Ireland. Its watches are conventional in the best sense — legible dials, restrained cases, Swiss movements — and priced well below what "Swiss made" usually costs.

The company keeps a low public profile and publishes little about its own history, so there is not much that can be said here with confidence. What can be said is that the watches are made to the Swiss labelling standard, which sets minimum requirements for where a movement is assembled and inspected.

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.

Will the glass scratch?

Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.

Does it need a battery?

Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.

Is it a men's or women's watch?

Listed as men's, though at 40mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
