The VCW (introduced on its listing as the "VCW Skin Diver") was designed for the Vintage Citizen Watches community, a Facebook group of collectors, after Citizen's vintage automatic Skin Diver and Parawater watches, and built by Pook in Finland. Spec table: 316L stainless steel, brushed and polished; 38.5mm without crown; "full thickness" 13mm (taken as including the crystal); 20mm lugs; acrylic plastic dome crystal; stainless steel screw-down crown signed C; screw-down caseback, engraved "para 120M water" and serial-numbered, 99 pieces made; Miyota 8215 (41h stated) showing hours, minutes and seconds, with no date window in the photos, hence the complications; "Japan luminous" hands and matt grain-pattern dial with gilt-style print; tropic-style strap 20mm tapering to 16mm with a VCW-signed buckle; 12 ATM / 120m; 36-month warranty (24 months on the 2021 page). It looks like Pook's 38.5mm skin-diver case of the Raja and Ankkuri, but with an acrylic crystal it is recorded separately, and its table gives no lug-to-lug. The 2021 pre-order asked a non-refundable 50% deposit of EUR 298.50 (USD 360.50) against a full price of EUR 597 (USD 721) plus shipping; the brand's page archived in March 2025 showed EUR 600 including VAT, out of stock; the current page shows no price. Not stated: weight, AR coating, bezel action, lume grade.
