HEXAPLEX® WATCH CASE
SKINDIVER WT PROFESSIONAL OVERVIEW
SHOCK-RESISTANT TOOL-WATCHES SINCE 1954
From the first tool-watch introduced in 1949 to the introduction of additional shock protection on the balance staff and mainspring in 1954, impact resistance as always been a concern for Wolbrook.
SHOCK-RESISTANCE A FATHOM AHEAD
In 2020, designers and engineers have been working on a new case architecture that would bring additional protection to the whole movement.
A year of R&D later, the result is now embodied in the HexapleX® case architecture.
HEXAPLEX® WATCH CASE ARCHITECTURE
The newly engineered HexapleX® watch case architecture delivers enhanced shock-resistance via the use of “3D” rubber shock absorbers strategically placed in the front, back and side of the movement holder.
The HexapleX® watch cases present 6 KEY specifications:
1. 316L STAINLESS STEEL
Hand finished brushed & polished marine grade stainless steel
2. SHOCK-RESISTANT
“Floating” movement shielded by holder with “3D” shock absorbers
3. MONO-BLOC MIDDLE CASE
Rigid & durable structure
4.A. SCREW-DOWN CASEBACK
Superlative sealing from water & dust
5. WATER-RESISTANCE
150M≈15ATM - Tested & guaranteed
6. DRILLED LUGS
Quick & simple strap changes
4.B. SCREW-DOWN CROWN
Fast & easy time setting without compromising on water & dust resistance

THE HEXAPLEX® WATCH CASES PRESENT 6 KEY SPECIFICATIONS:
1. Enhanced Shock-Resistance - Movement shielded by “3D” rubber shock absorbers
2. Screw-Down Winding Crown & Caseback - Superlative sealing from water & dust
3. Water Resistance to 15 ATM / 150m - Tested & guaranteed
4. Mono-Bloc Middle Case - Rigid & durable structure
5. Drilled Lugs - Easy strap changes
6. 316L Stainless Steel Case - Hand finished brushed & polished marine grade stainless steel
In the HexapleX® watch case architecture, the movement is in a “floating” configuration and effectively shielded from big to micro impacts on the watch case. The result is the tool-watches equipped with the HexapleX® case architecture are the most impact resistant and accurate* timepieces Wolbrook has ever manufactured.
*micro-impacts are responsible for loss of accuracy overtime.

HEXAPLEX®: THE MARK OF ENHANCED SHOCK-RESISTANCE FOR TOOL-WATCHES
Wolbrook tool watches equipped with the HexapleX® architecture are marked with a laser engraving of the HexapleX® logo on the back of the top right lug and on the inside of their caseback.
Currently, the "Outrider Automatic", "Outrider Professional", "Skindiver Automatic" and "Skindiver Professional" are the four watch collections equipped with the HexapleX® watch case architecture.
