Kore Just Dropped 4 Tactical Watches and They Might Be the Coolest Tactical Drops of the Year
Move Over G-Shock: Kore’s New Tactical Watches Just Raised the Bar for Everyday Carry
TL;DR: These watches are ones to watch in 2025
Kore Essentials just launched four tactical dive watches — the Abyss, Altitude, Oceanic, and Timberland — all rocking legit Swiss jeweled movements, sapphire glass, 316L steel, and micro-adjustable straps. If you’ve ever wished your wrist gear matched the same quality as your Kore gun belt… the wait’s over.
The Drop: Kore’s New Tactical Watch Line
We’ve been watching (pun intended) Kore Essentials quietly dominate the EDC belt game for years. If you’ve worn one of their gun belts, you already know — the fit, the adjustability, the comfort, it’s elite.
Now they’ve stepped into the watch arena, and they didn’t just make a fashion piece. They made field-ready, water-crushing, Swiss-driven tactical timepieces that actually perform.
Each of the four new models — the Abyss, Altitude, Oceanic, and Timberland — brings its own flavor to the lineup. All share the same DNA: Swiss-made Ronda movements, sapphire crystal glass, micro-adjustable FKM rubber straps, and surgical-grade 316L stainless steel cases.
This isn’t your average Amazon “tactical” watch. This is Kore stepping up with precision timekeeping meets battle-tested durability.
The Abyss: Dive Deep, Stay Tactical
The Abyss is the beast of the bunch. Built with a Swiss Ronda 10-jewel chronograph movement, this thing is rated to 30 ATM (300 meters / 900 feet) of water resistance.
Yeah — that’s not “splash-proof.” That’s go dive a wreck and come back on time proof.
It’s got a helium escape valve, rotating bezel, and photoluminescent markers that glow like a torch underwater. The case feels tank-solid, and the strap system gives you 1/8” micro-adjustments across 25+ positions.
That’s the same tech Kore uses in their legendary belts — dialed-in comfort that’s actually usable.
Why it’s cool: It’s the ultimate “overbuilt but still wearable” dive watch. It’s built for the water but doesn’t look out of place on dry land.
Pros: Swiss precision, 300 m depth, military-grade build, strap comfort.
Cons: Big on the wrist, big on price — but you get what you pay for.
If Batman went scuba diving, he’d wear this.

The Altitude: Built for Every Adventure
If the Abyss is your dive buddy, the Altitude is your everyday adventure wingman.
Still rocking that Swiss-made Ronda movement, sapphire crystal, and 200 m water resistance, but in a slightly lighter, more compact build.
The 20 ATM rating means you can swim, shower, and survive torrential downpours without blinking.
The design is streamlined — tactical enough for the field, refined enough for date night.
Why it’s cool: It’s the “everyday tactical” that doesn’t scream “dive team.”
Pros: Rugged specs without the bulk. Clean, wearable design. Super comfortable strap.
Cons: Not as extreme as the Abyss — but way more wearable daily.
DUUUDE tip: Pair the Altitude with a Kore EDC belt and you’re mission-ready from waist to wrist.
The Oceanic: Land, Sea, or Office — You’re Covered
The Oceanic lives in that perfect “one watch to rule them all” zone.
It’s a 44 mm tactical diver’s watch that doesn’t feel bulky, with Swiss 5-jewel quartz movement, sapphire glass, and 200 m resistance.
The design feels balanced — it’s the watch you can wear on a boat, at the gym, or while grilling with the boys.
It’s got that marine-grade toughness, but the dial design is clean enough for a button-up.
Why it’s cool: It’s tactical, but chill. You can beat it up, rinse it off, and roll out.
Pros: Versatile design, Swiss precision, perfect size for most wrists.
Cons: No helium valve like the Abyss, but you’ll probably never need it.
Think of this as the “tactical daily driver.”
The Timberland: Rugged, Earthy, Ready to Roam
The Timberland is the field watch of the group — outdoorsy, rugged, and just plain cool.
It’s got the same Swiss Ronda 5-jewel movement, sapphire crystal, and 200 m water rating, but wrapped in a more natural, grounded color palette.
Comes with two interchangeable micro-adjustable straps, packaged in an ammo-style box that just screams Kore.
Why it’s cool: It’s your go-anywhere, beat-it-up-and-it-still-looks-good field watch.
Pros: Great value, military-grade build, perfect for hiking or range days.
Cons: Slightly chunky for smaller wrists, but hey — this thing’s supposed to have presence.
This one’s made for the dude who splits wood, hikes trails, and still hits brunch after.
