The quick answer.
Thorn Watches T008 38mm Titanium 50 Fathoms 3H PT5000 Dive Watch is a 38 mm vintage diver watch at $169. We recommend it for a buyer who wants a small, light, vintage-style diver for everyday wear and swimming.
Why it belongs on the shortlist.
The T008 follows the classic 1950s diver template: a small case, a domed crystal and a bezel with vintage lume. In titanium it weighs 69 g, much lighter than a steel watch of the same size.
Our verdict: the vintage diver that disappears on the wrist.
A 38 mm titanium diver at 69 g is a rare combination. For $169 the T008 gives you the proportions of a vintage original with sapphire and a modern movement, which is why we pick it as a first small diver.
What you get.
THORN lists a screw-down crown and case back, vintage-style lume and a custom-molded FKM strap that does not yellow. Our dive-watch guide explains what to look for.
Size and fit.
THORN lists a 38 mm diameter without the crown, 45.8 mm lug-to-lug, 10 mm thickness (13 mm including the crystal) and a 20 mm lug width. Compare the dimensions with a watch you already wear.
Titanium.
Titanium keeps the weight down; our case-materials guide covers how it compares with steel.
