The Skindiver WT Automatic has straddled sea and sky since the late 1950s, built as a genuine crossover between dive watch and pilot's instrument. This Aéro-Club de France edition carries that dual identity forward with a blue dial marked by the club's emblem and finished in C3 Super-LumiNova for low-light legibility, plus a decimeter scale on the outer ring — dividing each hour into 100ths rather than 60, a format pilots use for quick fuel and speed math in the cockpit. Wolbrook is an official supplier to the Aéro-Club de France, and a share of each sale supports the club's public-interest mission; the promotion aerospace activities
The case is 40mm across, 48mm lug-to-lug, 13.2mm thick, with a 20mm lug width, machined from hand-finished brushed 316L stainless steel and built on Wolbrook's HexapleX architecture — a mono-bloc middle case with 3D rubber shock absorbers that let the movement "float" inside its holder, shielding it from impact. A domed, glass-box sapphire crystal with inside anti-reflective coating sits up top, and both the crown and caseback screw down to hold 150m/15 ATM of water resistance. Drilled lugs make strap swaps straightforward, and the caseback has room to laser-engrave a name or personal line. This build is fitted to the dark blue Tropic rubber strap.
Power comes from a Citizen/Miyota 8315 automatic movement with roughly 60 hours of power reserve and a hacking seconds function, regulated to a ±15-second daily tolerance and 0.6ms beat error. Like all Wolbrook watches, it's assembled by hand in France, near Besançon, with a customized "roulette"-style date disk regulated in-house.

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.
