Venturo – ​Skindiver – C3 – Dual Lume C3 & BGW9

Divers come in all shapes and sizes. The popularity of a sub-category of slimmer, lighter, and dressier divers, called “skin divers”, can be traced back to the late 1950s, up to the Quartz Crisis in the 1970s. With the Skindiver, we’ve incorporated key design cues from skin divers of times past into a modern and refined timepiece that’s immediately recognizable as a Venturo. The 40mm Skindiver is only 13mm tall, despite having a box-shaped sapphire crystal and a two-layer sandwich dial. The clever case design makes the watch look even slimmer than it already is. Smooth sweeping seconds hand with Miyota 9 series movement. Dial glows green and blue in the dark. Even the minute track is visible! Custom-made date wheel ensures upright date orientation, whereas no-date versions don’t have the intermittent “ghost” crown position.
