Most watches tell you the time. The Raglan tells you the time, the tide, and still looks great doing it. It's a genuinely functional ocean tool wrapped in a bold, distinctive design — and there's nothing quite like it at this price point in Australia.. Here's everything you need to know.

What is a Tide Watch — and Why Does It Matter?

A tide watch tracks tidal movements in real time, showing you whether the tide is coming in or going out and how high or low it currently is. For surfers, this is essential — wave quality changes dramatically with the tide, and knowing when conditions will be at their best can be the difference between an epic session and a frustrating flat spell.

For fishermen, kayakers, coastal walkers, and divers, tide data is equally valuable. The Raglan puts all of this directly on your wrist, in a watch that's actually worth wearing.

Did You Know? The Raglan is named after Raglan, New Zealand — one of the world's most celebrated left-hand point breaks and a place that embodies the soul of surf culture. It's a watch with real ocean heritage, not just ocean aesthetics.

What Makes the Raglan Special?

  • Tide tracking — real tidal data on your wrist, built for surfers, fishers, divers and coastal adventurers
  • Digital square case — a distinctive, bold silhouette that stands out from every round-face alternative
  • Unisex sizing — designed to work on any wrist

  • Australian brand, Australian warranty — real support when you need it
  • As worn by Kyuss King and Jaleesa Vincent— Maxum's surf ambassadors both wear the Raglan in and out of the water

The Raglan Range — Find Your Style

New Colour Drops — The Pink, White & Beige Edit

The Raglan has always come in classic surf tones — black, gun metal, deep ocean blue. But the new colour drops change the game. Pink, white and beige straps across gold and gun metal cases bring a softer, more personal energy to a watch that's always been built tough. Unisex by design, but crafted with the female customer firmly in mind — and already being worn by Maxum's 2026 women's ambassador, Jaleesa Vincent.

Most Wanted New Drop

Raglan Tide — Gold Case & Pink Silicone Strap

Gold case meets dusty pink silicone — this is the Raglan that started conversations the moment it dropped. The warm gold tone and the soft pink strap complement each other perfectly, creating something that feels feminine without being delicate. Tough enough for the surf, pretty enough for the weekend. As worn by Jaleesa Vincent, Maxum's 2026 women's ambassador.

 

New Drop — Alternative Pink

 

Raglan Tide — Black Case & Pink Silicone Strap

On Sale — $239 (Was $299)

If you love the pink strap but prefer a more understated case, the black and pink combination delivers. The contrast between the matte black case and the soft pink silicone is striking — a bit more edge, a bit less sweetness. Currently on sale at $239, this is also available as part of a Gun Metal Case gift set with white and pink straps at $269.

Clean & Classic

Raglan Tide — Gold Case & White Silicone Strap

On Sale — $249 (Was $299)

Crisp white and warm gold — clean, fresh, and effortless. The white strap keeps the gold case feeling light rather than heavy, and the overall look works just as well on dry land as it does at the beach. On sale at $249. Also available in gun metal with white strap at the same $249 sale price, and as a Gold Case gift set with white and pink straps at $269.

 

Earthy & Elegant

Raglan Tide — Gold Case & Beige Silicone Strap

New Drop — $299

Warm, natural, and quietly stylish — the gold case with beige silicone strap is the Raglan for people who find all-black too heavy and all-pink too sweet. It's a considered, grown-up colour combination that feels at home in any coastal setting. Also available in gun metal with beige strap at $299, and as a Black Case gift set with black and beige straps at $269.

The Classic Raglan Range — Still Going Strong

Best Value Bracelet

Raglan Tide — Gun Metal Case, Black Dial & Gun Metal Bracelet

On Sale — $195 (Was $349)

The gun metal finish is understated and sophisticated.

As Worn by Kyuss King

Raglan Tide — Gold Case, Black Dial & Black Silicone Strap


The gold case Raglan with black silicone strap is the colourway most closely associated with Maxum ambassador Kyuss King — and it's easy to see why. The contrast between warm gold and matte black is bold without being loud, and the silicone strap means it's completely at home in the surf. This is the Raglan in its most iconic form.

Full Black — The All-Rounder

Raglan Tide — Black Case, Black Dial & Black Silicone Strap


All-black everything. If you prefer your watch to go with everything without drawing attention to itself, the full black Raglan is the answer. The squared case and digital display still make it distinctive — but the monochrome finish keeps it clean and versatile. Works at the beach, at the gym, and everywhere in between.

The Raglan as a Gift Set — Two Straps, One Watch

The Raglan Tide Watch is one of the best gifts for those who spend time near the water — and at current sale prices, it's an impressive gift at a reasonable price point. If you're buying for a surfer, fisherman, paddler, or any bloke who'd appreciate a watch built for the ocean, the Raglan delivers something genuinely useful alongside the style.

One of the smartest things about the new Raglan colour drops is the gift set format. Several variants come as a set — one watch with two interchangeable silicone straps — so you can switch your look depending on the day.

Check the Gift Sets collection for current options, or browse the full Raglan range to find the right colour-way.
