The Wolbrook Skindiver Automatic brings classic 1960s skin-diver styling into a modern, everyday-ready package. Designed as a robust, highly legible tool watch, it captures the simplicity and purpose of early recreational dive timing while delivering the durability and refinement needed for contemporary wear. Whether you choose the warm, heritage-inspired Vintage Lum version or the more energetic Green Lum variant, both models stay true to the essential character that defines the Wolbrook Skindiver line.
The watch features a 40mm stainless-steel case with drilled lugs, a 48mm lug-to-lug, and a slim 13mm profile, offering a balanced wrist presence suited for daily use or weekend adventure. A box-style sapphire crystal adds vintage charm while enhancing durability, and the matte black dial provides crisp contrast against either the aged-tone or green Super-LumiNova indices. With 150m water resistance, a screw-down crown, and the option of a Tropic-style rubber strap or stainless-steel beads-of-rice bracelet, the Skindiver Automatic maintains true dive-tool capability without sacrificing comfort or versatility.
Powering the watch is the Miyota 8315 automatic movement, offering approximately 60 hours of power reserve, hacking seconds, and smooth manual winding. The no-date configuration keeps the dial clean and symmetrical, reinforcing the watch’s vintage-inspired, purpose-driven aesthetic. Reliable, efficient, and easy to maintain, the 8315 makes the Skindiver Automatic a capable companion ready for daily wear, travel, or off-the-grid exploration.

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.
