Back when chronographs were expected to survive more than a desk job, watches like this HOGA Skin Diver were built for adventure.
Rrugged, and powered by the legendary Valjoux 23, it combines all the ingredients that make vintage sports chronographs so irresistible.
Add a beautifully patinated dial and a splash of red for good measure, and you’ve got a watch with more character than many chronographs costing several times as much.
Please refer to the high-resolution pictures to assess the condition of the watch.
MODEL/REFERENCE: HOGA Skin Diver Chronograph. Inventory Number: WK-32-18.
DIAL + HANDS: Beautifully aged matte black dial featuring a dual-register chronograph layout with contrasting white subdials and vibrant red accents throughout. The dial has developed an attractive and even vintage character while retaining crisp printing and excellent legibility. The applied hour markers retain their original luminous material, now aged to a warm beige tone. The bold white handset remains original, with lume that has matured to a slightly darker creamy shade, creating a pleasing contrast with the dial.
CRYSTAL: Plexiglas crystal showing light scratches and marks thant can be easily polished off.
CASE: The stainless-steel case measures 39mm in diameter and 44mm from lug tip to lug tip. Its broad tonneau-like profile, faceted lugs, and substantial proportions give it a distinctly purposeful tool-watch appearance.
The case appears well preserved, retaining strong lines and honest wear throughout, including light scratches and small nicks commensurate with age.
The bi-directional friction rotating bezel comes with a luminous triangle at 12 o’clock. The black insert displays minimal wear marks and no color fading.
CASE BACK: Stainless-steel screw-down case back. With mostly legible engravings and a cool depiction of a diver at the centre, the surface remains in good overall condition with surface scratches and wear marks consistent with decades of wear and use. The inner side is clean and stamped with a serial number.
CROWN + PUSHERS: Unsigned crown and correct pump chronograph pushers. All functions operate correctly, with positive chronograph engagement and reset.
MOVEMENT: Powered by the legendary manually wound Valjoux 23 chronograph calibre featuring a 45-minute recorder. Considered one of the finest hand-wound chronograph movements of its era, it is robust, reliable, and highly regarded by collectors. It has been inspected for proper function and is running well.
BRACELET: Black Tropic-style rubber strap fitted with a generic stainless-steel pin buckle.
ACCESSORIES: none
