Vulcain Skindiver Nautique GMT White & Blue
Vulcain expands its iconic Skindiver Nautique line with a new chapter: the introduction of a true travel companion - the Skindiver Nautique GMT.
As summer comes to an end and the new season begins, these new models invite globe-trotters to travel in neo-vintage style with a touch of elegance. Following the introduction of this new GMT function earlier this year, Vulcain now unveils two new variations: a classic white dial for the standard model and a blue dial for a limited series of 100 pieces. Powered by the Caliber C125, these timepieces combine a tribute to the brand’s diving watches of the 1960s with contemporary features. While retaining their compact diameter, they open new horizons for traditional complications.
The addition of a dual time zone marks an important milestone for Vulcain. Historically, the brand was best known for its Cricket alarm watches, but in recent years it has expanded its catalog by drawing inspiration from its vintage creations. Alongside its chronographs, threehand classics, and heritage divers, the Skindiver line has become a cornerstone of this new identity. The Skindiver Nautique GMT is the very first Vulcain watch to feature a GMT function, thus introducing the multitime zone complication into the collection.
Ergonomics
Combining practical functions with the brand’s DNA, this line offers great versatility in keeping with the Skindiver Nautique family: robust yet elegant models. The Skindiver Nautique GMT is a reimagined dive watch designed for modern adventurers and travelers.
lts compact case—38.3 mm in diameter and 12.2 mm thick—ensures comfortable wear, a remarkable achievement for an automatic GMT watch. Engineered to withstand demanding underwater environments, the Skindiver Nautique GMT will accompany you with reliability to depths of up to 200 meters. The collection nonetheless stands out for its refined slimness and particularly meticulous finishing.
Lebility
The Skindiver Nautique GMT is the ideal tool for those who seek precision and versatility. Its double-domed sapphire crystal ensures flawless clarity, regardless of lighting conditions or immersion depth.
Time can be read at a glance thanks to its wide, luminescent hands and indexes. The second time zone indication, highlighted by the colored GMT hand and the 24-hour scale on the ceramic bezel, makes it a true companion for travel as well as for everyday life.
Two References
The first white-dial model joins the core collection, pairing a stainlesssteel case and bracelet with a matte white dial. Beige-lumed indexes and hands ensure strong contrast and legibility, even in the dark or low-light conditions. The GMT hand stands out in red against the beige Super-LumiNova®. Its bidirectional black ceramic bezel, decorated with white numerals, combines functionality with elegance. The solid screwdown steel caseback accommmodates various engravings while guaranteeing perfect water resistance.
Thanks to its micro-adjustable clasp, the Skindiver Nautique GMT offers millimeter-precise sizing for a perfect fit on any wrist. This feature is particularly practical depending on the season or situation. Whether worn over a diving suit, slipped under a shirt cuff, or in hot summer weather, this micro-adjustment system ensures constant comfort.
An alternative version is also available with an integrated black rubber strap.
The second reference, available as a limited edition of 100 pieces, features a refined aesthetic with a deep blue dial. White SuperLumiNova® hands and indexes enhance the dial's chromatic harmony, while the turquoise-outlined GMT hand stands out with clarity. The watch is fitted with a m blue rubber strap, evoking both the depths of the ocean and the colour of the ceramic bezel.
This model comes with a sapphire caseback revealing the meticulous finishing and architecture of the automatic movement. Its efficient central rotor, mounted on the ballbearing system ensures smooth winding, while the oscillating steel mass is engraved with a Vulcain logo.
