Vulcain Skindiver Nautique Meteorite

Vulcain Skindiver Nautique 38 mm – Vintage Diver with Modern Technology

The Vulcain Skindiver Nautique 38 mm is an authentic reinterpretation of a classic historical diver's watch from 1960. With its clear vintage design, modern technology, and excellent legibility, it combines the aesthetics of past decades with the demands of today's watch enthusiasts.

Historical Inspiration – A Classic Returns

Vulcain, founded in 1858 and known for its iconic models, revisits one of its historical dive watches with the Skindiver Nautique. Inspired by the original 1960s model, this re-edition preserves the characteristic look of that era and reinterprets it in a contemporary way.

The watch is available in various dial versions, including classic black, elegant blue, and a striking salmon version – each with its own character and strong vintage flair.

Case & Design – Compact and Functional

The 38 mm case made of 316L stainless steel impresses with a vertically brushed surface and balanced proportions. The unidirectional rotating bezel with a black ceramic insert and contrasting markings underlines the watch's functional character.

The screwed case back made of polished stainless steel ensures stability and emphasizes the high-quality craftsmanship. With water resistance of 200 meters (20 ATM), the Skindiver Nautique is perfectly suited for use in water.

Dial – Expressive and Excellently Legible

A special highlight is the meteorite dial, which gives each watch a unique structure. Depending on the light incidence, fascinating reflections are created, making each watch a unique piece.

The applied indices and hands are coated with Super-LumiNova® in a khaki-brown finish, ensuring excellent legibility day and night. The clear minute track and harmonious design give the dial a perfect balance of functionality and style.

Movement – Proven Swiss Precision

Inside, the reliable ETA 2824 automatic movement, one of the most well-known and proven calibers in Swiss watchmaking, is at work. It offers a power reserve of approximately 38 hours and operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz).

This movement stands for precision, robustness, and longevity – ideal for a sporty diver's watch.

Wearing Comfort & Details

The model comes with a high-quality leather strap in a carbon look, which can be easily swapped thanks to a practical quick-change system. The solid pin buckle made of stainless steel ensures a secure fit on the wrist.

The double-domed sapphire crystal with internal anti-reflective coating reliably protects the dial while enhancing the watch's vintage character.

The Vulcain Brand – Tradition Since 1858

The Swiss manufacture Vulcain looks back on over 150 years of watchmaking. Based in Le Locle, in the heart of the Swiss watch industry, the brand stands for innovation, tradition, and high-quality mechanical timepieces. The Skindiver Nautique is another example of this unique combination of history and modern technology.
