Vulcain Automatic Skindiver Chronograph White
An Icon from the Past Resurfaces: The Skindiver Chronograph
In 2023, Vulcain brought back one of its most iconic dive watches, the Skindiver Nautique, a model that left its mark on the horological landscape of the 1960s. But the story didn’t end there. Few knew that at the same time, the Locle-based manufacture had also developed a chronograph version of this tool watch.
Sheltered from the public eye for decades, it is now making a comeback, thanks to the research and rediscovery efforts led by Guillaume Laidet, who has been overseeing Vulcain’s collection development since 2022. By bringing this timepiece back from the archives, Vulcain offers collectors a watch that is both authentic and technical, a true homage to the brand’s heritage of exceptional dive watches.
A Vintage-Inspired Chronograph with Modern Performance
The Skindiver Chronograph stays true to the aesthetic codes of vintage dive watches while incorporating modern technical advancements. Its 39.7mm stainless steel case, featuring vertical brushed finishing, ensures optimal durability while maintaining a perfectly balanced feel on the wrist. Water-resistant up to 200 meters, it is equipped with a knurled bidirectional rotating bezel with a black ceramic insert, paying tribute to the original models of the 1960s.
The dial, available in matte black or matte silver, features ultra-legible SuperLuminova-coated indices, ensuring maximum visibility in even the most challenging conditions. Powering the watch is the reliable and precise ETA 7753 automatic chronograph movement. More than just a dive watch, this model also features a decimal scale a rare element in watchmaking that allows time measurement in hundredths of a minute, making calculations and data interpretation more practical for diving or sports timing. The engraved caseback, depicting a diver in action, reinforces the watch’s maritime and adventurous DNA.
