LIV GX-Diver's 44mm Ocean Blue 2.0 dive watch
Starting from 965.95 €The LIV GX-Diver's 44mm Ocean Blue 2.0 Bracelet is a large-format dive watch from a Swiss-American micro-brand that sells exclusively direct to consumers. It builds on the formula of the most capable diver in the catalogue, with a 316L stainless steel case measuring 44mm, a unidirectional ceramic bezel and 300 metres of water resistance, but swaps out the engine: the La Joux-Perret G100 calibre replaces the base movement used until now. Limited to 1,000 pieces, this ocean blue version relies on a multilayer dial sculpted with waves and a skeletonised caseback that shows off the movement's finishing. An expressive diver aimed at fans of rugged tool watches and water sports.
LIV GX-Diver's 44mm Ocean Blue 2.0 Bracelet dive watch
LIV Swiss Watches was born from a bet: offer Swiss mechanical watches through direct sales, with no dealer network and no distribution margin. Founded by Chaz and Esti Chazanow and based in Miami, the brand made its name through crowdfunding, with a first launch in 2015 followed by a GX1 chronograph that raised over a million dollars in 2016. It has since claimed the title of the most crowdfunded Swiss watch brand, building its catalogue collection by collection, from the titanium and ceramic P-51 with its first dual-lume dials through to the Ocean Blue divers that arrived in 2024.
The 44mm GX-Diver's line sits at the top of this water-focused offering. This 2.0 version marks its clearest technical evolution: the La Joux-Perret G100 calibre replaces the Swiss base used until now and raises the running autonomy to 68 hours of power reserve. Around it, the formula remains that of a genuine tool watch: 316L steel, ceramic bezel, screw-down crown and 300 metres of water resistance. The result is an unapologetic diver, built for recreational diving, water sports and heavy daily use, with a strong visual identity carried by its sculpted blue dial and blued hands.

A large-format diver built for an active life
The GX-Diver's Ocean Blue 2.0 does not seek discretion. With its 44mm diameter, 12.9mm thickness and an overall lug-to-lug height of 52mm, it belongs to the family of large contemporary divers, the kind that assert their presence on the wrist rather than disappear under a sleeve. The weight follows the same logic: 108 grams for the watch head alone, a figure that reflects the density of the steel case and the generous proportions. This size demands a wrist able to carry it, but in return it delivers immediate legibility and a robustness felt as soon as you pick it up.
The model sits within the GX-Diver's line, presented by the brand as its most capable diver. The 300 metres of water resistance and the screw-down crown, adorned with an enamel logo, suit it to recreational diving and water sports, provided the crown is locked before any contact with water. The 23mm lug width calls for a specific strap, here a steel bracelet supplied as standard. Finally, this ocean blue version is limited to 1,000 pieces, giving it a particular status within a catalogue sold exclusively direct, with no physical boutique involved.
Swiss calibre, ceramic and sculpted dial
The major change in this 2.0 version lies beneath the skeletonised caseback. LIV fits the La Joux-Perret G100 calibre, a Swiss automatic with 24 jewels hand-finished in La Chaux-de-Fonds, whose 68-hour power reserve allows it to run through an entire weekend without winding. The brand states a rate accuracy of plus or minus five seconds a day before each watch is shipped. The careful finishing, Côtes de Genève decoration and solid tungsten rotor remain visible through the transparent caseback, still a rarity on a diver in this price bracket.
The rest of the construction follows the same tool-watch logic. The 316L stainless steel case carries a blue polished unidirectional ceramic bezel with 120 clicks, a material chosen for its scratch resistance and long-term retention of shine. The double domed sapphire crystal combines anti-reflective coating with scratch resistance, while limiting optical distortion when reading the dial. The dial is the model's other signature: a multilayer structure, a top layer sculpted into three-dimensional waves, a sunray centre, hand-applied hour markers and cut-out 12 and 6 numerals that reveal the Swiss BGW9 LumiNova. Hands blued through heat treatment and blue hour-marker recesses round out this vividly coloured whole.
LIV GX-Diver's 44mm Ocean Blue 2.0 Bracelet dive watch: depth and legibility
The LIV GX-Diver's 44mm Ocean Blue 2.0 Bracelet pairs a 316L stainless steel case measuring 44mm and 12.9mm thick with a blue polished unidirectional ceramic bezel with 120 clicks and a screw-down crown engraved with an enamel logo. Its water resistance reaches 300 metres. The multilayer ocean blue dial combines three-dimensional waves, a sunray centre, hand-applied hour markers and Swiss BGW9 LumiNova. The automatic La Joux-Perret G100 calibre, 24 jewels and 68 hours of power reserve, can be observed through a skeletonised caseback. Steel bracelet 23mm, double domed sapphire crystal, five-year warranty and a limited run of 1,000 pieces.
Movement
The heart of this 2.0 version is the Swiss automatic La Joux-Perret G100 calibre, fitted with 24 jewels and a 68-hour power reserve. Hand-finished in La Chaux-de-Fonds, it displays careful finishing, Côtes de Genève decoration and a solid tungsten rotor, visible through the skeletonised caseback. LIV states a rate accuracy of plus or minus five seconds a day before each watch is shipped. This movement replaces the Sellita SW200-1 base used on previous generations of the GX-Diver's Ocean Blue.
Diameter and materials
The case measures 44mm in diameter, 12.9mm thick and 52mm lug-to-lug, with a 23mm lug width and a weight of 108 grams. It is made from 316L stainless steel and topped with a polished blue ceramic bezel, unidirectional, with 120 clicks. The double domed sapphire crystal receives an anti-reflective coating and scratch protection. The skeletonised caseback reveals the movement through an additional pane of glass, and the ceramic bezel is known for resisting scratches and retaining its shine over time.
Water resistance
The watch is water resistant to 300 metres, or 30 ATM, a figure that places it among divers fully usable for recreational diving and water sports. The screw-down crown, finished with an enamel LIV logo, seals the case: it must always be locked before any contact with water. The brand guarantees this water resistance for twenty-four months. This level of resistance does not, however, target professional or technical diving, which calls for more advanced references.
Accessories
This execution comes on a 23mm 316L stainless steel bracelet, closed with a butterfly deployant clasp with push buttons, all of whose links are adjustable. A second version of the same model exists on a rubber strap, priced at 921.95 euros against 965.95 euros for the steel bracelet version. LIV does not publish a detailed list of box contents for this specific reference, as the brand sells exclusively direct through its official website.
Warranty
LIV backs this diver with a five-year international warranty, activated automatically upon purchase from the brand's website. Accuracy is covered for twelve months and water resistance for twenty-four months. Added to this is the brand's own commercial policy, which allows ninety days to decide after receipt, a useful point for a brand sold exclusively direct. This approach forms part of what LIV calls its Pledge, a customer satisfaction promise rounded out by free worldwide delivery.
