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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Vintage-Inspired Chronograph with Modern Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Skindiver Chronograph stays true to the aesthetic codes of vintage dive watches while incorporating modern technical advancements. Its 39.7 mm stainless steel case, featuring vertical brushed finishing, ensures optimal durability while maintaining a perfectly balanced feel on the wrist. Water-resistant up to 200 metres, it is equipped with a knurled bidirectional rotating bezel with a black ceramic insert, paying tribute to the original models of the 1960s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dial, available in matte black or matte silver, features ultra-legible Super-LumiNova-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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn Exceptional Dive Watch in Two Variations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Skindiver Chronograph comes in two distinct versions to suit the tastes of vintage watch enthusiasts and professional divers alike. The first features a matte black dial with aged Super-LumiNova brown indices, offering a distinctly retro aesthetic. The second version showcases a matte silver dial with crisp white Super-LumiNova indices, for a more contemporary and refined look. In both versions, the chronograph sub-dials stand out with red or orange accents, particularly on the 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, emphasising the watch’s sporty character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAvailable on a black or brown leather strap for a more classic appeal, or on a stainless steel bracelet for added robustness, the Skindiver Chronograph is a faithful reissue that continues Vulcain’s legacy of legendary dive watches. With this new edition, the Swiss brand once again demonstrates its ability to merge heritage with innovation, offering watch enthusiasts a timepiece that honours both past and present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWatchaser Official Retailer\u003cbr\u003e2 Years International Warranty\u003cbr\u003eWith box and papers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vertically brushed 316L stainless steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBezel\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bidirectional rotating bezel with black ceramic insert\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase Back\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polished 316L stainless steel with engraving\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 39.7 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal\u003c\/strong\u003e: Domed sapphire glass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 ATM\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuckle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid 316L stainless steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Base ETA 7753 (C088) – Automatic, self-winding mechanical movement\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFunctions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Analog display of hours, minutes, and seconds, chronograph\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency\u003c\/strong\u003e: 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Reserve\u003c\/strong\u003e: 42 hours\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vulcain","offers":[{"title":"Bead of Rice","offer_id":55261757374850,"sku":"590176A07.BHM287","price":2640.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black Plain","offer_id":55261757407618,"sku":"590176A07.BAC201","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stainless Steel","offer_id":55261757440386,"sku":"590176A07.BHM286","price":2760.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/0857\/4627\/files\/skindiverchrono_1.png?v=1749113488","url":"https:\/\/www.watchaser.com\/products\/chronoskindiver-black","provider":"WATCHASER","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
