We have picked up several average skin divers from the mid-1960s with common characteristics as references and reconstructed into a simple and clean style reflecting our own aesthetic sense. These are not specific famous models from well-known brands, but rather lesser-known models among the countless brands that released skin divers at that time. We have eliminated unnecessary modern interpretations, staying true to the original case and bezel size, and reproduced every detail from that period, including the beautifully curved domed gloss-black dial and the hands that are bent along its surface, while generously incorporating the features required for modern luxury diver watches, such as 20 ATM water resistance with screw down crown, a unidirectional rotating bezel with a ceramic insert, a box-shaped sapphire crystal , and Super-LumiNova C3 luminous material.
