SkyDiver in a smaller size
By Hannah Lindqvist, Stockholm ยท
Edox made the first SkyDiver in the 1970s, and now there's a 38 mm version, which made me very happy. Steel case, ceramic bezel, a deep blue dial with lumed hands and markers, 300 m, date at 3. On my wrist it finally looks like a diver instead of a dinner plate.
The Sellita-based Edox 80 automatic has 38 hours. The bracelet has a double folding clasp, and the watch feels balanced.
But it's 13.7 mm thick, mostly due to the domed sapphire crystal. That's a lot on a 38 mm case.
At $1,985 it's a nice option for small wrists that want a capable diver. Try it on first.
