Somerville Watch Co. "Back Bay" Dive Watch
Introducing the Somerville Watch Co. "Back Bay" Dive Watch, designed for the modern man who values both style and rugged functionality.
This watch was designed from the ground up by the team here at SWC, and we are proud to finally bring it to our customers for the 2025 holiday season.
Named for the beautiful Back Bay neighborhood in Somerville's neighboring town, Boston, MA (maybe you've heard of it?), this watch features a stunning enamel dial with (in our opinion) perfectly proportioned dial text and graphics.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Mod?
A Mod is a custom, modified watch (hence the name: Mod). Each watch is hand assembled by us.
Our watches begin with a genuine, Japanese movement. We take this movement, and complement it with our own custom-produced dials, hands, cases, and bracelets. The specific movement used is listed in the description for each of our products.
Medford Mods is not affiliated with any other brands. We are an independent watchmaker, and each watch we sell includes a 1-year in-house warranty. Since these watches are custom-made by our company, they will not include a papers.
Why do you use custom parts?
The answer is simple: because there is simply no way to deliver the premium aesthetics and functionality that we strive for when using fully stock watches as a base for our mods.
