Most of us consider “deep-sea exploration” to be reaching for a dropped fry under the car seat, but the Wolbrook Skindiver II CNEXO ($699) is built for much cooler missions. Celebrating France’s legendary ocean agency, this 40mm steel beast features a matte green dial with indices so jumbo they’re visible from space (or at least the bottom of a dark pub). With 300m water resistance and a 60-hour power reserve, it’ll outlast your stamina on any adventure. It’s rugged, vintage-inspired, and says, “I might wrestle a giant squid later,” even if you’re just wrestling with a spreadsheet.
