Here, we have a 2024 Wolbrook Skindiver Decompression Automatic. Hand-brushed finished 40mm stainless steel HexapleX case that incorporates floating rubber shock absorbers that protect the movement, and a subtle curve over your wrist with tapered lugs, a lug-to-lug length of 47.5mm and a case thickness of 13mm ensures a comfortable fit on your wrist. On the right side, is a signed screw-down crown. A 120-click unidirectional dive bezel has deep knurling for grip, an anodised aluminium insert, a lume pip at 12 o’clock, and large printed 60-minute numerals holding a glass box sapphire crystal above the striking decompression MN90 dial; its tables have been defined by the "Marine Nationale" (French Navy) since 1990. Lume-coated baton indexes at the hour surrounding four rings in blue, green, yellow and red with the all-important timings for decompression where a diver stops for a set time to remove the chance of the “Bends” where nitrogen dissolved under high pressure in the bloodstream normally through the process of respiration forms bubbles in the blood when the pressure decreases too rapidly, these bubbles can be lethal. In the centre, we have Arabic 12, 3, 6 and 9 numerals with baton indexes coated in luminance marking the hours. White baton filled with C3 Super-LumiNova complemented by a tapered sweeping lollipop second hand. On the reverse, there is a screw-down Dodecagon case back with the HexapleX seashell logo, inside an automatic Miyota Cal. 8315, with 21 jewels, beating at 21,600 beats per hour. It comes paired with a 20mm yellow tropic rubber strap and pin buckle, plus a blue 20mm tropic rubber strap in the box. The watch comes with an original Wolbrook box and paperwork.

As a collector of vintage Mido, this Wolbrook Skindiver MN90 instantly drew me in as it reminds me of the Mido Powerwind Rainbow Diver (I am still searching for one, so if you have one to sell let me know!). The striking decompression MN90 dial has tables which have been defined by the "Marine Nationale" (French Navy) since 1990 featuring four rings in blue, green, yellow and red with the all-important timings for decompression where a diver stops for a set time to remove the chance of the “Bends” where nitrogen dissolved under high pressure in the bloodstream normally through the process of respiration forms bubbles in the blood when the pressure decreases too rapidly, these bubbles can be lethal.

WOLBROOK watches were introduced in 1949, building rugged timepieces. In 1955, their sister brand, Douglas, was created, offering large waterproof timepieces with legible green luminescence indexes on their dials. During the 1960s and the space race, Neil Armstrong famously owned a Douglas Skindiver “Worldtimer”, which was auctioned in 2019. During the 1970s “quartz revolution”, they went out of business. However, after 50 years, Wolbrook and Douglas were reborn in 2019.
