Actually Affordable: Shellback V2 Dive Watch

Based on its design and specs alone, the Tusenö Shellback V2 represents a rather appealing option for those who want a classically styled dive watch with a distinctly modern flair.

Realistically speaking, the Shellback V2 would still be a solid offering if it were entirely produced in Asia, and the fact that you can get a Swiss-made diver with a distinct design and this level of attention to detail ultimately makes the Tusenö Shellback V2 an incredibly compelling value proposition

Hands-On With The Stunning Tusenö Shellback V2 Dive Watch

More than its design and specs, to me, the Shellback V2 shines for having a balanced design and outstanding finishing. It has great proportions, and I find the dial to be particularly well laid out.

Again, it’s harmonious, and everything is crisp and in place.

Tusenö Shellback Watch Review

Tremendous build quality, unique design, a level of fit and finish that doesn’t exist at this price point – it’s genuinely a wonderful watch. 

I haven’t been this impressed by a watch for a long time – and if you buy one too, I’m confident you’ll feel the same.

The Tusenö Shellback V2 is a stylish Swedish dive watch that’s a cut above most independent offerings

Turn the lights off and the Tusenö Shellback impresses even more. As a watch writer I’m often guilty of using the phrase “a generous amount of lume” but hot damn, this watch absolutely glows! Tusenö has been more than generous with the Super-LumiNova for this baby.

Tusenö are on to a winner here.

Hands On: Tusenö Shellback Dive Watch

While not doing anything especially new or groundbreaking, the Shellback succeeds at offering a classically attractive dive watch that sets itself apart in a very crowded space with wonderfully executed design touches.

Tuseno Shellback V2 Hands-On Review

... it has to be hard to design and deliver a watch these days that has mass appeal, but also stands out and looks different, without being too different or funky, and I feel the Tuseno Shellback V2 has checked all of those boxes.

To some, a dive watch is a dive watch and all look the same, but to those who know the differences and to those who see a lot of watches regularly, this watch stands out, and it stands out just enough, and I like what Tuseno is doing.
