To accompany the most beautiful aquatic odysseys, Vulcain reinvents its iconic Skindiver with an unprecedented temporal dimension: the GMT function. This new version transforms a 1960s icon into a modern travel companion, capable of navigating between time zones as easily as between coral reefs.
When Heritage Meets Horological Innovation
The Vulcain Skindiver Nautique GMT draws on the brand’s authentic DNA while meeting the contemporary demands of globetrotting divers. This next-generation diving watch features a sophisticated GMT function, allowing simultaneous tracking of local time and that of the departure point. The innovation lies in the intelligent adaptation of the concept: the bidirectional ceramic bezel now features a 24-hour scale, favoring the travel function over the traditional minute scale. This bold approach positions the watch as a true temporal navigation instrument, ideal for divers visiting exotic destinations or coordinating international expeditions. The Soprod C125 GMT movement offers the reliability of a proven automatic caliber, with a 42-hour power reserve ensuring reassuring autonomy between dives.
Technical Architecture in the Service of Exploration
The 38.3 mm diameter 316L stainless steel case reveals a perfect balance between robustness and ergonomics. With its 12.2 mm thickness, the watch slips easily under a suit while maintaining a strong wrist presence. The double-dome sapphire crystal, an aesthetic signature of the collection, protects a matte dial available in classic black or bold purple, both enhanced with Super-LumiNova markers for optimal readability in depth. The 20 ATM certified waterproofing allows dives up to 200 meters, while the screw-down crown and caseback ensure absolute protection against infiltration. The Soprod C125 automatic movement, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, drives the hours, minutes, seconds, date, and GMT functions with chronometric precision. This technical architecture reflects an ancestral watchmaking expertise adapted to the modern challenges of underwater exploration.
