Explore Phoibos

Phoibos is easy to spot across a watch box: look for the octopus on the dial, then the broad hands and generous lume that surround it. Founded in Hong Kong in 2016, the brand has made dive watches its main territory, mixing familiar tool-watch proportions with dial textures and colors that give each collection a distinct personality.

The Wave Master is a good place to start. Its rippled dial brings the underwater theme beyond the logo, while a rotating dive bezel and substantial markers keep the design grounded in practical watchmaking. Many of the brand’s automatic divers use Seiko’s NH35, a familiar movement to enthusiasts who enjoy straightforward, mechanically uncomplicated watches.

The Eagle Ray takes a different route, with twin crowns and an internal rotating bezel giving it a compressor-style character. Beside the more conventional Wave Master, it shows how Phoibos works within the dive-watch vocabulary without making every collection look alike. That octopus gets around, but the watches beneath it have their own shapes.
