Wolbrook Skindiver Automatic

The watch features ridiculously bright and long-lasting lume, a clean dial, and a Miyota 9039 no-date movement. Some owners find the push-pull crown a drawback, while others note the clasp and some bracelet links can feel sharp. Opinions are split on the bracelet design, with some finding it confusing and others praising its articulation and micro-adjustments. One owner found the 40mm case felt larger than expected. Overall, owners rate the Wolbrook Skindiver Automatic 38mm highly for its vintage aesthetic and tool-watch appeal at a reasonable price.
