Introducing the Monterey Watch Co. Dark Bayou EM dive watch, a timepiece inspired by the enchanting bayous of Louisiana and the classic elegance of 1960s divers.

This exceptional dive watch, with an NH35A automatic movement, guarantees precision whether underwater or for everyday wear. Its 40mm surgical stainless steel case exudes durability and timeless style.

The Dark Bayou EM’s captivating black dial, adorned with white indices and subtle gold accents, offers both readability and versatility, reminiscent of the golden era of diving. It boasts an impressive 100 meters water resistance, catering to divers and watch enthusiasts alike.

Incorporating gold accents, this timepiece adds warmth and charm, making it a stylish tribute to the divers of the 1960s while infusing a touch of Louisiana’s bayous into your wrist. A choice between a stainless steel bracelet or rugged seat-belt fabric NATO strap completes the package for today’s adventurers.

This piece was developed in collaboration with our customer Evan M. His initails EM are on each dial. Thank you from the Monterey team!

Gold tone

As usual, a great watch. I really like the gold tone bezel and strap. Not too flashy but it stands out just enough to be noticeable. A great combination.

The Dark Bayou EM is honestly very cool.

My 4th Monty and probably my favorite to date. This color combo is just so classic. The bracelet is nice, but the gold bezel really pops when wearing the tanish gold NATO strap.

Good looking watch, great customer service

The Dark Bayou looks just as good in person as it does on the screen, but what impressed me the most was the customer service. My watch had a slight QC issue that was easily overlooked, but the speed with which Tim got back to me and sorted the issue speaks to his dedication to putting out a good product. I would happily buy from Monterey again.

Fantastic watch, fantastic experience

I’ve had my eye on the gold bezel Dark Bayou for a while and was so impressed once I received it. It looks even better in person. I love the combo of the gold bezel with the strap. It’s hard to believe the value that you get with these watches. Yet another flawless customer experience as well. The best way I can summarize my whole experience with Monterey after 2 purchases by saying It feels good to buy cool things from great people. Thanks again, Tim. Looking forward to the next one!

Generational Timepiece

Tim I really appreciate what Monterey Watch Co. Is doing. My son was ecstatic to recieve his BT with the Americana Bezel Insert for his 8TH Bday.
Monterey is generational now...and that's pretty bad ass. Love the vibe and love the watches! I hope he passes it on to his son.
