The Wolbrook Skindiver II Automatic CNEXO Limited Edition celebrates the pioneering spirit of France’s historic deep-sea exploration agency, the Centre National pour l’Exploitation des Océans. This special release honors the bold research and underwater innovation of the 1960s and ’70s—an era that shaped the modern understanding of ocean science and inspired generations of divers. The Skindiver II CNEXO edition channels that heritage through its vivid green dial, vintage tool-watch geometry, and iconic jumbo indices designed for maximum underwater legibility.
Wearing the familiar skindiver silhouette, the CNEXO Limited Edition uses a 40mm stainless-steel case with a compact 48mm lug-to-lug and a sturdy 13.92mm thickness, making it both authentically rugged and highly wearable. The matte green dial is paired with oversized lume plots that glow powerfully in low light. A sapphire crystal, 300m water resistance, and screw-down crown reinforce its bona fide tool-watch credentials, while the CNEXO-branded caseback and packaging underscore the watch’s commemorative nature.
Inside, the Skindiver II CNEXO Limited Edition is powered by the Miyota 8315 automatic movement, offering a robust 60-hour power reserve and smooth three-hand operation with a date complication. Whether worn on a Tropic-style rubber strap, nylon strap, or steel bracelet, this special edition delivers a compelling blend of history, utility, and daily versatility—an ideal piece for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a meaningful, ocean-inspired addition to their lineup.

Since 1949, Wolbrook has been engineering mechanical watches and chronographs built for the real world—high-speed flights, deep dives, and everything in between. The iconic Skindiver, a registered trademark since the 1960s, represents the brand's ethos perfectly: durable, approachable tool-watches with legitimate heritage you can actually trace back through decades. After the quartz crisis shuttered operations in the 1970s, Wolbrook slumbered for nearly 50 years until passionate watchmakers resurrected it in 2019—properly, not as some hollow revival. Today's Skindiver collection stays true to those 1960s originals while delivering modern specs: sapphire crystals, Swiss Super-LumiNova, and genuine tool-watch credentials, all assembled in France.
