No experience needed · All tools included · Free expert support

Build your own mechanical diver in a striking green-and-black colourway — a rugged classic that’s as at home 100 m under the ocean as it is at a formal dinner. The diver is the style made famous by James Bond and Jacques Cousteau, and a staple of any watch lover’s collection. With a screw-down crown, rotating bezel and water resistance to 100 m, it’s the most premium watch in our range. This all-in-one kit contains every watch part, every tool and full video instruction to build yours from scratch — and if you’re looking for a unique gift for someone special, you’ve found it.

What makes us different?

Watchmaking from the heart of Surrey, UK — this isn’t a watch you buy, it’s a watch you build. Every part and every tool is in the box, and our step-by-step video guidance assumes no experience at all: you’ll build your watch around the renowned Miyota 8215 automatic movement, case it up and size the strap, with real watchmaker’s tools in your hands from the first step. We pride ourselves on an experience that educates as well as entertains — and our expert support team is on hand, free, whenever you need us.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any experience?
No. The video guides assume you’ve never touched a watch movement before and walk you through every step.

Do I need my own tools?
No — every tool you need is in the box, from precision tweezers and screwdriver to the chain tool for sizing the strap.

How long does it take?
Work at your own pace — the videos pause when you do, and the kit packs away neatly between sessions.

What if I get stuck?
Our technical support team helps every builder, free — that’s how 99.6% of customers complete their build.

Is it a good gift?
One of our most popular gifts for watch lovers — a hands-on experience rather than another object for a shelf.

What if it’s not for me?
