So, without further ado, let us introduce the VCW Skin Diver! This watch is designed and made for the Vintage Citizen Watches community. We gotta remember to live the moment, go for it, enjoy and take each day as it comes. This is the way to pay our respect to the collectors worldwide, to the divers and to the adventurers out there. Some say that it doesn’t get better than this, does it? Is it perfect? No it is not, it is just a start, just one small step, just one day. This is the watch that inspired our watch the most. One of the first real diving watches was the automatic Skin Diver. This was just the start of a beautiful water adventure story and each watch and its owner for sure have quite a few to tell by their well deserved battle scars from underwater adventures. We can never forget the beautiful black dial with applied hour markers, lug holes to easily change the straps, the really clever way of integrating the acrylic crystal into the case. As time passed Citizen was growing as a company and exported more and more watches and the romantic term “Para Water” was changed to the universally recognized “Water resistant” somewhere around 1970-1973. The result, needless to say, was perfect. Soon after, the watch completed two trans-Pacific tests and one in the Sea of Japan. In 1959 the company produced the first Japanese water-resistant wrist watch.

Some of the most beautiful diving watches were made in Japan. We all love vintage watches and Citizen made quite a few memorable ones.
