Introducing the Somerville Watch Co. "Back Bay" Dive Watch, designed for the modern man who values both style and rugged functionality.

This watch was designed from the ground up by the team here at SWC, and we are proud to finally bring it to our customers for the 2025 holiday season.

Named for the beautiful Back Bay neighborhood in Somerville's neighboring town, Boston, MA (maybe you've heard of it?), this watch features a stunning enamel dial with (in our opinion) perfectly proportioned dial text and graphics.

Unlike our competitors, we do not dropship our watches from overseas. What sets us apart is that we are a wholly U.S. owned and operated company.

Is my payment information secure?

Our website and payments platform is powered by Shopify, which complies with all six PCI standard categories, making it among the most secure payment platforms on the web.

What is the difference between the Premium Dial and Standard Dial GMT and Submariner watches?

Despite the name difference, both of our GMT and Submariner dial options are premium and have identical quality in terms of finishing, lume, and cost. Both dials are constructed of the same high-quality copper.

The only difference is in the face of the dial itself. The Premium option includes a printed logo, and is designed as an homage to the GMT-Master and Submariner dials. The Standard dial is more understated and minimalist in terms of the amount of text on the face, and includes a metal logo instead of a printed logo.

The Standard dial the only option we carried when our website launched. When we began offering the Premium dial, that moniker was chosen simply as a way to differentiate the watch.
