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.
