Dan Henry 1975 Skin Diver
1975
A daily-wear timepiece with the classic look and functionality of skin diving watches of the 1970s. With a sapphire crystal, choose the dial, bezel, case size, and movement type. The Dan Henry 1975 Skin Diver is sporty with style. Crafted with 150 meters of water resistance, and a case that is thinner and smaller than traditional oversized scuba timepieces, the 1975 Skin Diver is ideal for sports on water, or casual wear on land. As a sailor who created this watch, I wanted a slim and ergonomic timepiece for my sporting life at sea, and for the everyday wear of casual divers and water-sports adventurers. - DH

I love the look of this watch but I know nothing about Dan Henry watches. Are they good? Does anyone have personal experience with them?

I think exactly the same about the white! Not sure if $450 is a good price for the automatic version, or if I should consider the quartz.
I have a 1972. I'd say the quality is appropriate for the price, and I like it.
That 1975 looks pretty nice.

Thanks for the input
The white is only available in 39mm (at least the automatic version) and the lugs are 20mm, so that seems like another positive to me đ
I donât personally own a Dan Henry, but the quality of the watch is superb. Whether you want the automatic or not is up to you, the case size is excellent for most wrists regardless.

I don't know I guess it depends on budget but personally I do prefer automatics to quartz although I heard lot of positive feedback to meca-quartz so I would definitely consider that movement at some point in my collection journey
Dan Henry decided to create watches that are an amalgam of various elements that were present in watches from the year of his watch model. For example my 1962 Racing Chronograph has elements from Omega (the twisted lugs), Universal Genève (handset and dial) and Rolex Daytona (the "piston" makers in the sub registers). Therefore it gives the feeling of wearing a vintage, but without the headaches of actually owning a vintage watch.
They are not bad and they are priced affordably, they can give you a vibe of vintage but you have to be aware that you are not going to get Omega, UG or Rolex quality there.
