TRIBUTE TO THE NACA
The Skindiver WTD Chrono-Mecaquartz - Telemeter & Decimeter – Chronograph - NACA Edition - pays tribute to the men and women from the NACA – National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics – who were at the forefront of the aeronautical discoveries that led to the creation of the NASA and the space exploration golden age.
Ground breaking discoveries that still have an impact on our daily lives today, up in the air and down on the ground.
The NACA started the development of the first aircraft to fly to the "edge of space", the X-15. The project and personnel were then transferred to the NASA in 1958 which carried on the mission and led humanity further into space.
X-15 LIMITED EDITION CASEBACK
The Skindiver WTD Chrono-Mecaquartz chronograph is secured with a screw-down caseback and the first 1078 pieces come with a limited edition caseback.
The special casebacks of these chronographs are individually numbered and pays tribute to the X-15 aircraft by featuring an engraving of this incredible plane on its caseback and the iconic aeronautical industry line:
“THE PROOF IS IN THE FLYING”.

MECAQUARTZ MOVEMENT VK64: JAPANESE TECHNOLOGY & QUALITY
Seiko VK64 mecaquartz movement with quartz regulation & mechanical action:
• Sweep center 1/5 chrono second hand
• Seiko Patented Instant Zero Reset - with a click all chronograph hands are reset to zero at once thanks to three-pointed hammer mechanism.
• 60 secondes & 60 minutes time recording
• 24 hours display
A CHRONOGRAPH WITH MECHANICAL ACTION AND QUARTZ ACCURACY
The Seiko VK64 movement is a mecaquartz movement meaning the chronograph part is actioned by a mechanism coming from mechanical chronographs while the regulation and timing parts are motorized by a quartz oscillator and a battery.
The result is the best of both the mechanical watches world and the quartz watches world: mechanical watch technology, look and feel combined with the perfect accuracy and timekeeping of quartz (±20s per month).

SOLID MOVEMENT HOLDER: THE PERFECT HOUSE FOR THE SEIKO VK64 MOVEMENT
Nowadays, quartz watches and even some mechanical watches are using plastic movement holders. At Wolbrook, we found the metal ones more noble and durable.
While our mechanical watches have always used metal holders, the Skindiver WT Chrono-Mecaquartz along with the Skindiver WT Mecaquartz and Skindiver WT Pro Chrono-Mecaquartz are now also featuring solid metal movement holders.
SCRATCH‑RESISTANT SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL
The Skindiver WTD Chrono-Mecaquartz chronograph is equipped with a highly-domed, scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal with anti‑reflective treatment inside.
A grade of 9 on the Mohs-hardness scale (graded 1-10) and a dome shape, means the sapphire crystal of the Skindiver WTD Chrono-Mecaquartz chronograph is virtually scratch-proof and very hard. While, the inside anti-reflective coating ensures an unhindered vision at all times.
