Established in 2020 in the UK, Marlinwatch has been dedicated to creating diving watches that combine precision, durability, and functionality. The name Marlin comes from one of the largest most exciting game fish in the sea.
Our automatic men’s diver watches are designed to appeal to the many collectors and to include most of the desired components expected like, sapphire crystal, BGW9, 300m water resistance and much more. We look for some of the best components, parts or styles when designing our watches, making them appealing to a wider audience.
Our Newest models Mk8 & Mk9
The mk8 has stainless steel white dial and black dial and is a day date quartz movement with BGW9 lume a large signed lume crown. Obviously sapphire glass screw down pushers, and a stunning embossed case back.
The Mk9 has these specifications but as the unusual inner rotation bezel which could be used as a GMT. The sleek design makes for a dress watch but having the 300m water resistance rating counts as a stunning diver.
Our exclusive range of chronograph diver watches includes the following features:
• The outer glass is made of sapphire which is virtually scratch proof
• The watch case is made of 316L stainless steel which is rust-proof and can be brushed or polished
• A rotating bezel is usually 120 or 60 click uni-directional to assist with time keeping under water
• Our automatic chronograph watches have luminosity all over the dial & bezel and the most sought after is the BWL9
• There are different colours of lume and some automatic watches have many or just one, but either way is a great talking point
• Weight is also a key decision-making point as typically 150 - 300gms is acceptable, so please check this as the quality tends to run parallel
• A screw down crown is also essential to prevent water ingress if used under water
What features should automatic diving watches have?
When it comes to diving watches, there are a few key features that are essential – our exclusive stainless steel watch range has all of these features and more. Firstly, a diver's watch should be waterproof and pressure resistant, able to withstand greater depths than a standard watch. It should also be easy to read in underwater conditions, so luminescent hands and markers are a must and that's why we use BGW9 Lume.
Additionally, a diving watch should feature a bezel which allows divers to track how much oxygen they have used. Finally, a good diving watch should have a screw-down case back and crown, to prevent water ingress. Having said that many buyers are desk divers and wouldn't test their watch underwater.

Interesting Facts About the Marlin
These powerful predators have captured the interest of fishermen for many years. Learn more about a few individual species, and what makes them unique, below. Our brand of stainless steel watches supports efforts to protect this amazing species.
-
Atlantic Sailfish – This fish’s name comes from the large, sail-like fin on its back. Though it does not reach the same immense sizes as some of the other members of the family, people still target this species as a game fish for its speed.
-
White Marlin – Another prized sport fish, this species currently faces decline from fishing and diving activities. Even though people have placed restrictions on catch sizes, catch and release fish still face significant danger of death from the activity. The IUCN lists this species as Vulnerable and declining.
-
Atlantic Blue Marlin – Another Vulnerable and declining species, this fish also faces threat from overfishing. Fishers and divers target this species quite heavily for its ability to reach impressive sizes and its powerful swimming. Commercial fisheries also accidentally catch this species as bycatch when targeting tuna.
-
Black Marlin – This species reaches similar lengths to the Atlantic Blue species, but researchers do not have enough data to conclusively decide how healthy their populations are. For their size, people also target this species as a sport fish. It’s these activities that our chronograph divers watches are ideal for.
