The Wolbrook Skindiver WT Professional X-15 Edition pays tribute to the legendary experimental rocket aircraft that pushed the boundaries of speed, altitude, and engineering during the 1960s. Inspired by timing instruments worn by aviators and test pilots of the era, this edition blends classic skin-diver toughness with a travel-ready world-timer bezel and subtle nods to the X-15 program. The result is a functional, historically grounded tool watch designed for exploration—whether in the air, at sea, or on land.
The watch features a 40mm stainless-steel case with a compact 48mm lug-to-lug and 13mm thickness, creating a purposeful, vintage-true profile that wears comfortably every day. A glass-box hesalite crystal amplifies the retro aesthetic while offering modern durability, and the bi-directional world-timer bezel allows quick city-to-city reference when traveling. The matte dial layout—enhanced with X-15 mission graphics, luminous hands, and high-contrast markers—ensures fast legibility in any environment. A screw-down crown, drilled lugs, and 150m water resistance reinforce the tool-forward character of the WT Professional.
Inside the X-15 Edition is the Miyota 8315 automatic movement, delivering a robust ~60-hour power reserve, hacking seconds, and both automatic and hand-winding capability. With a frequency of 21,600 vph, 21 jewels, and Geneva-pattern finishing with blue screws, the movement pairs reliability with mechanical refinement. A three-hand display with date keeps information clear and functional, making the WT Professional X-15 Edition a capable daily companion built for those who appreciate aviation history and purpose-driven design.

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.
