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 recognisable as a Venturo.
Sandwich dial, lancette hands, 12-3-6-9 layout and all, Venturo’s Skindiver is an evolution of Gruppo Gamma’s Mk I Divemaster, with marked improvements in refinement, accuracy, luminosity and long-term serviceability. What used to be a chunky diver has evolved into a more versatile tool, with all the characteristics that made skin divers popular.
Highlights

Clever case design makes the watch look even slimmer than what it already is.
Thoughtful design makes bezel a joy to turn.
Smooth sweeping seconds hand with Miyota 9 series movement.
Dial glows green and blue in the dark. Even the minute markers are visible.
