SKAGEN: Danish Dive Watch Design Embracing Scandinavian Minimalism

SKAGEN

Two Models from Skagen's Summer Collection Launch Early

[EDITOR'S EYE]

I think the design is sophisticated, reminiscent of the popular 'Chirp-Casio' watches.
The bezel is thin, and the case itself is slim, yet it boasts an impressive 100-meter water resistance.
The oval indices at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, paired with the dot indices, create a cohesive and effective look.
The second hand intentionally lacks luminous paint, so it's not visible underwater. This design code is faithfully maintained.

From the Danish lifestyle brand Skagen comes a new collection for the summer season, inspired by Nordic culture and its nature. Two models from the modern 'FISK' collection, which incorporates diver's design, have been released early.

Diver's Design, Unique to Denmark's Coastal Culture

Founded in Denmark in 1989, Skagen has consistently offered a variety of items inspired by the open-minded and social nature and lifestyle of its people.

Copenhagen fashion, which has become a global phenomenon in recent years, has also significantly influenced Skagen's craftsmanship. The minimal and modern designs, combined with pop colors and playful elements, embody a sophisticated yet lighthearted aesthetic unique to Nordic brands.

The new collection for Summer 2020, released early, is the 'FISK' collection, featuring a diver's design. Denmark, a land of Vikings and the Little Mermaid, boasts a long maritime history and a deeply rooted culture of wreck diving, with over a thousand years of seafaring and an estimated ten thousand shipwrecks. This heritage inspired a unique diver's design, distinctly Danish.

The models available for early release come in two sizes: unisex and small.
