Raven

Raven Watches is a small American brand based in Kansas and run by Steve Laughlin, a lifelong watch enthusiast who earlier did website and watch design for other American microbrands, including Benarus (not related to Benrus). A founding year for Raven is not given in the sources reviewed. Its watches are manufactured in Hong Kong.

Raven makes dive watches with vintage styling, and its first serious model, the Vintage, was an acknowledged Rolex Submariner homage. Early models, the 40mm Vintage and the 44mm Deep, used the Miyota 9015 automatic and were priced at $580 and $700 in 2013; a 42mm Vintage followed at $710. The 2021 Trekker II is a 39mm, 300m diver with a Miyota 90S5, limited to 100 numbered pieces and listed at $750.
