Edox SkyDiver 38 Date Automatic

EDOX SKYDIVER 38 DATE AUTOMATIC – SHAPED BY THE PAST, CREATED FOR THE PRESENT

Boutique Swiss watchmaker Edox adds another outstanding timepiece to its family of rugged sports watches with the launch of the SkyDiver 38 Date Automatic. Honouring the Edox heritage of classic models designed for paratroopers and the military in the 1960s and 1970s, SkyDiver 38 Date Automatic combines the best of two worlds – the no-nonsense functionality of a dive watch and the style and aesthetics of a precision pilot’s watch.
The beautiful case, black dial, striking indices, oversized crown and domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal faithfully reflect a SkyDiver watch designed by Edox in the 1960s. The black dial reflects the precision instruments that once accompanied adventurers conquering land, sea or air – the Fly, Drive and Dive challenges that suit Edox watches to a tee. But the materials and the new 38mm diameter size of the contemporary SkyDiver are pure 21st century. Military styling runs right through the SkyDiver’s DNA, from its semi-matt finish dial to the solid case back proudly portraying the emblem of a paratrooper unit.

The SkyDiver 38 Date Automatic complements its rugged military vibe with practical functionality for any adventure, be it on land, sea or in the air, including a ceramic, scratch-resistant diving bezel and water-resistance to 300m.
The hands and indices are coated with Super-LumiNova in beige, another vintage touch, and there’s also a date window at three o-clock. The SkyDiver runs with military precision, thanks to its Edox Calibre 80 automatic movement, manufactured by Swiss specialist Sellita. The hand-assembled timepiece features a carefully crafted stainless steel case, beautifully offset by a strong bracelet. This brand new case size comes also with more colourful combinations and turns itself towards a new unisex audience.
Contemporary in character, the SkyDiver 38 Date Automatic reinforces the pioneering spirit of adventure that has driven Edox from its very beginnings. So unleash your adventurous spirit with the new Edox SkyDiver.

EDOX – SKYDIVER COLLECTION

Rumoured to be launched following a Swiss colonel secret request in 1973, the SkyDiver collection pays tribute to paratroopers and the extreme conditions they might face – on land, air or sea.
