03The community take

Owners talk.

“

Owners widely praise the Cincinnati Watch Company Desk Diver for its high accuracy, great power reserve, and lume, with fit and finish noted as on par with or better than competitors at its price point. Some owners report the manual-wind Sellita SW210-1 movement is smooth, though one source notes the watch has 0 meters of water resistance and another mentions potential small marks on the vintage case. The $1500 price is considered too high by some for a novelty item, with a desire for a more affordable quartz option. Overall, owners rate the Cincinnati Watch Company Desk Diver highly for its accuracy and build quality relative to its price point.
