The Watch

Ocarat is proud to present a handpicked selection of Wolbrook watches that bring a touch of timeless nostalgia to your everyday style. Founded in 1949 in the United States and celebrated for its France-assembled creations, Wolbrook has become a landmark name in watchmaking - known for timepieces that blend clean design, technical precision, and exceptional everyday resilience. Today, the brand dives deep into its archives to reimagine its most iconic models, upgrading them technically and aesthetically to align with current trends and modern technology. Discover the stunning Skindiver WT Automatic 22-SWA-003 and make it your signature everyday watch. Blending the DNA of pilot and dive watches, this "Made in France" timepiece is a modern reissue of the iconic Skindiver - first launched over 60 years ago. It brings a sporty elegance to any outfit, becoming your most reliable and precise daily companion. Its round case measures 40 mm in diameter, 13 mm thick, and 48 mm lug-to-lug - ideal proportions for all-day comfort. Built for the men's wrist, it is crafted in 316L stainless steel with a hand-applied brushed finish for a striking result. Its monocoque structure and Hexaplex architecture deliver outstanding shock and water resistance. The dial is protected by a double-dome sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating on the inner surface and a scratch-resistant treatment, ensuring optimal protection against daily wear while enhancing the vintage charm of the watch and guaranteeing clear legibility from every angle. It is framed by a 120-click unidirectional bezel in silver. Its knurled design lets you track elapsed time and read multiple time zones thanks to the 60-minute scale and 12 city markers on its surface. A knurled crown is screwed down at 3 o'clock, allowing you to set the time and date at any moment. It provides 15 ATM water resistance, secured by its screw-down case back - laser-engraved with the embossed HexapleX® seashell logo, also found on the back of the upper right lug of the case.

The Dial

Reinforcing the vintage elegance of this model, this round dial adds extra character with its black color and matte finish. Easy to read, it offers a clean three-hand display complemented by a date complication. The date is displayed via a "Roulette"-style window positioned at 3 o'clock, alternating between black Arabic numerals on odd days and red on even days. A cyclops magnifier is integrated into the crystal directly above it. The dial features an arrow hand and a baton hand in gray alongside a slim red seconds hand, indicating hours, minutes, and seconds respectively. The first two are coated with SuperLuminova "Old Radium" lume, keeping you on time in both bright and dark environments. The same luminescent treatment is applied to the twelve indices around the dial - four Arabic numerals and eight batons - serving as hour markers. White Arabic numerals at the center indicate military time. A minute track in white runs along the perimeter with fine lines, completing the time-reading experience. The brand name is printed below 12 o'clock as a signature, while the origin and movement type are noted near 6 o'clock alongside the mention "Shock-Resistant."

The Movement

This watch is powered by an automatic movement developed by Japanese manufacturer Miyota and regulated and adjusted in-house at the Wolbrook workshops. Renowned for its performance, reliability, and consistency, the specific caliber selected is the 8315. This high-quality mechanism drives the hands and date window with exceptional fluidity, delivering precise hours, minutes, seconds, and date display. It is protected by "3D" rubber shock absorbers and finished with blued screws and a Côtes de Genève finish. This 21-jewel movement features a hacking seconds device and beats at a frequency of 3 Hz, equating to 21,600 vibrations per hour. The power reserve stands at 60 hours.

The Strap

The brand chose to offer this watch with a choice of two straps to suit your personal style. Easily interchangeable, they let you express your look every day. Both feature a lug width of 20 mm and a buckle width of 16 mm.

Crafted in 316L stainless steel, the first bracelet features a clean design that reimagines the classic jubilee bracelet. Its seven rows of rice-grain links are elevated by a brushed finish for a striking look on the wrist. Striking the perfect balance between modern and sport-chic, it frames your wrist with understated elegance - day or night. Comfortable to wear, this bracelet measures 21 cm in length with 5 adjustment positions, fitting wrists up to 24.50 cm. It fastens effortlessly with a deployant clasp for security and peace of mind. Measuring 17.50 mm wide and 35 mm long, the clasp features a double push-button locking system.

The second strap is crafted in a single piece from vegetable-tanned Italian calf leather. It deepens the watch's vintage character while adding a timeless touch of elegance. Finished in a rich camel color with brown contrast stitching for a modern edge, this strap is the perfect choice for effortless style and all-day comfort. It measures 27 cm in length and features a 316L stainless steel pin buckle for easy adjustment and a secure fit.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 150 meters - or 15 ATM in the beloved language of watchmaking - this bold timepiece holds its own at a gala and in the water alike. Wear it in the shower, the bath, or even during an intense swim session. That said, our team of watch experts wants to be clear: this model is not designed for scuba diving (freediving or tank), nor for use with high-pressure washers. Remember: shower, bath, and swimming only - and never operate the pushers or crown while submerged!
