Since the late 1950s, the Skindiver WT Automatic bridges the worlds of sea and sky — a true hybrid between a dive watch and a pilot’s tool.

Its black dial is illuminated by "Old Radium" Super-LumiNova® and Wolbrook’s iconic arrow hour hand, protected under a glass-box sapphire crystal. Housed in a 316L stainless steel case, this versatile timepiece is water-resistant to 150 m, with both screw-down crown and caseback ensuring reliability.

This Skindiver WT Automatic watch, powered by the Japanese Citizen/Miyota 8315 automatic movement with a 60-hour power reserve (approx.), comes equipped with a choice of a camel vegetable tanned Italian leather strap, or a 316L stainless steel beads-of-rice bracelet.
