The Wolbrook Skindiver WT Automatic blends classic dive-watch design with a splash of world-timer inspiration, bridging the worlds of sea and sky in one versatile mechanical timepiece. Rooted in mid-century tool-watch heritage, the WT Automatic pairs bold dial clarity with intuitive bezel functionality, making it equally suited for everyday wear, travel, or aquatic exploration. Both variants—Standard (black dial with green Super-LumiNova) and Vintage (black dial with aged-tone Super-LumiNova)—offer distinctive styling within a unified design language that emphasizes function first.
The watch is built around a 40mm 316L stainless-steel case with a comfortable 48mm lug-to-lug and a balanced 13mm thickness, keeping the overall proportions true to classic dive-watch form. A glass-box sapphire crystal protects the dial and enhances that vintage aesthetic, while a rotating bezel provides timing and world-cities functionality at a glance. Water-resistant to 150m, with a screw-down crown and caseback plus drilled lugs for easy strap changes, the Skindiver WT Automatic is resilient enough for daily use and field exploration. Swiss-grade Super-LumiNova across hands and indices ensures strong legibility in all lighting conditions.
At its heart is a Miyota 8315 automatic movement, offering a reliable ~60-hour power reserve, hacking seconds, and both automatic and hand-winding capability. With a classic three-hand layout plus a date complication and refined touches like Geneva-pattern finishing and blue screws, the 8315 brings enduring mechanical performance to this hybrid dive-and-world-timer design. Options include a one-piece vegetable-tanned leather strap or a 316L stainless-steel beads-of-rice bracelet, letting you personalize the look for daily wear or weekend adventure.

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.
