Just when I thought I was out, Dan Henry pulls me back in! Today I review the Dan Henry 1975 Skin Diver watch-one of the most interesting and unexpected new releases of 2022, that not only gives us a glimpse into where watch trends are going, but is also Dan's response to a post-Omega MoonSwatch chronograph world. But don't let these modest 37mm and 39mm skin divers fool you! They're actually a gateway into everything exciting, innovative, controversial, good, bad, and ugly going on in the watch world today. Join me for a surprising dive into a truly fascinating watch that's without a doubt Dan Henry's biggest gamble yet. Is it a hit or a miss? And what are the positives and negatives? In this video I also share my initial reaction to the new Tudor Pelagos 39 mm for 2022. What do you think of these new watches? Please share your thoughts in the comments below!

Bonkers that they ever tried to blag 36mm as being a 'women's size', respect to anyone who can pull off a 46mm IWC, but most of us don't have shins for wrists.

My experience with Dan Henry: I bought a 1972 Maverick Chorno, the display was not in line so I ask for refund. It turned instantly into a very unfriendly conversation that a display cannot be not in line and that I have to sent the watch back under almost unfullfillable conditions. However, I sent it back but never got my money back.

Loved this video, and this new dan henry watches. Will buy for christmas. And I also give you value for being the first person I saw here on KZbin about watches, not quite sure how I started this, but once I started watching your videos, I became obsessed with watches. You have and always will have an immense value as a watch content youtuber, every video almost looks like a documentary. I understand your furstration towards some youtubers, although I don't know why this friction started between watch content youtubers. I believe there's space for everyone here, and many youtubers have their own identity and distiction, so there's value, even if some are also watch dealers and try to sell some brands along the way. So if there's something I would say I don't like here in some of your videos, is when you put some of your frustrations for other youtubers in the mix. Nevertheless, this channel still is the standard for me, even though I grew the "subscriton collection", because I believe was the pioneer and because of the quality of your work, knowledge, learning, the history and research involved, the documentary - like videos and artistic view about the watches themselves discussed here, which are not always from the famous and traditional brands, most discussed, but also micro brands and brands with value besides price, which is the case of this Dan Henry brand, which, I confess, grew on me because of you. Could not thank you enough for all the love I have for watches now, and I hope you continue here for many many years to come doing a wonderful job for this community. Wish you the best.

I think Dan has absolutely nailed it with this one. When I saw it for the first time, I immediately started to search the web for alternatives (ultimately looking for excuses why not to buy this piece since my watch-related budget saw some substantial expenses lately) but failed. I cannot believe these fun, colorful (skin)divers are not more common. I think a lot of folks would love to wear durable, fun, easy-to-wear but not overly bulky watches. Thumbs up to Dan. He did it again.

I love Dan Henry watches! I bought a 1962 white no date, following TGV review, and I enjoy it so much. I have quite a large wrist and the relatively small size of the 1962 was a bit of a surprise but easy to get used to it and give such vintage vibes... pure class! when I saw this new release, the white dial immediately captured my attention. It looks so great. The slimness of the case reminds me of the Glycine combat sub but of course with again these vintage vibes. Thanks TGV for the great review... but now because of you, I have to order one (39mm automatic)!!!! 😁

Very fair and extensive review, TGV. I really think that Dan went all out on this to make the watch exist in the exact right space. It is not supposed to be a ultra diver or any other type of piece other than the most simple and suitable piece for most users. It will suit any wrist other than the largest among us and will perform in nearly situation that most of us would throw at it. I can only imagine that Dan, as he has recently been working on and sailing his classic sailing boats, wanted a different piece to wear than his 1972, which is his personal favorite. I am sure that the new piece would be far more suitable on a boat that the 1972 is. I really like the new piece. I love the ability to get another Dan Henry in an auto version. They are rare and usually go quite quickly. I just have to figure out which version(s) I want! Thank you, as always, for such excellent work, TGV. Onward and upwards, my friend. Be well.

I don't blame you when it comes to the 1972, it's a hard watch not to put on. I even use the alarm to wake me up in the mornings on days I need a back up from the phone. Such fun. Great point about the 1975 being another auto option, I often forget most of his watches are quartz! Safe flying fratello, O&U! Best regards, TGV

Thanks for this - always appreciate the context and background you provide to pieces like this. Couple of things - this new DH reminds me a lot of the new Christopher Ward C60 300, especially the white dial version. Theres a 38mm version of that you might find interesting. Other point would be re Chinese brand watches, the best of which imo try to do what these DHs do - start with a base reference and then riff on it a little rather than produce a clone. I think other people also appreciate it when Chinese brands resurrect older refs. Anyhow, it feels to me more and more with each new video you make that it's time to get one in for review - I'm sure loads of people in the comments would be able to make some good recommendations. Love and peace from the UK; take care.

Good morning TGV, thank you, I was waiting for this review :-) I like the 1975 Skin Diver by Dan Henry, this seems to be a great watch with high fun factor, moreover very wearable. Especially the Meca-Quartz variant seems to be a great option for me and the idea to take a Meca-Quartz movement for a three hand diver watch here is kind of ingenious. I too have to say, Dan Henry watches have to be experienced on the wrist. I treated myself to the 1964 Gran Turismo and must say, I am very excited! A watch that is wearable in everyday life with a classy, stylish look and a high fun factor. Classic design, with a robust and durable movement, so you don't have to worry about service costs or availability of spare parts. I also think a Meca-Quartz movement often makes more sense in this price range, such as a Chinese hand-wound chrono movement, for which the service costs will probably easily reach or even exceed the new price of a new watch. Many greetings!

The white bezel is fire! I dig it on the white dial, auto with date. Cyclops really stands out with the slim profile of this piece…I like it!

To me: Almost all "hits", next-to-no misses…and I'm coming from a place where I thought Dan Henry was "nice", but not particularly a barn-burner of a brand. Consider this opinion now stood on its head. Thanks for this, TGV.

Not convinced these watches are for me, but I greatly enjoyed the video TGV, some spot on thoughts and ruminations. Onwards and upwards!

I do appreciate the attention to detail from a true watch aficionado like DH. It does show like you say. It’s also something different than the usual and would mark you out as a watch geek yourself, having one on the wrist. I do love my Seiko and citizen also, though. And even a couple of my aliexpress specials. Yes, a lot of junk and a lot of meh on there. But some gems too, with spec monsters. Show these some love too, TGV. It also just goes to show just how much the moonswatch is overpriced for what you get! O&U, as always. 👍

Ack! Just bought a watch I have been waiting to pull the trigger on. Really like the white and the strap looks a lot like the fossil tide watch strap. Which is in my mind one of the most comfortable watches my kiddos ever bought me.

Just pulled the trigger on the 1975 Gilt Automatic Date version. For me by far the best looking one, with the high domed sapphire crystal sapphire bezel that really captures the spirit of the time

Love this review. I was about to get myself a DH 1962 which was basically love at first sight. But now…. Maybe this instead (as well). What an awesome brand!

If a watch is chosen to fit ones activity or occupation I am happy to have discovered the skin diver here. For some time I was searching for the perfect watch for a Marine. A diver is too much and a field watch can't cut it on a beach landing. I was settled on the Aqua Terra but this Dan Henry is perfection.
