THE SKINDIVER "WORLDTIMER"

In the early 1960s, Wolbrook and its sister brand Douglas introduced the Skindiver “Worldtimer”: a solid, water-resistant and highly legible timepiece with luminous markers and hands, a bold red sweep second hand, distinctive hour and minute hands, a 24-hours / Military Time scale along with a rotatable bezel with time zones and elapsed time.

This mix of features from a diving watch and a pilot watch makes it the kind of tool-watch a NASA engineer and test pilot would choose and operate.

NEIL ARMSTRONG'S TOOL-WATCH

As many pilots, astronauts or regular men and women through the 1960s and 1970s owning a personal, extra back-up watch on top of your standard issued time instrument was common sense and practice.

And for that, Neil Armstrong selected and wielded a readable and efficient timepiece: The Skindiver “Worldtimer”.

Neil's tool-watch was auctioned and authenticated in 2019. By the look of it - wear and tears, faded marking on the bezel, along with a replacement military specs nylon strap - it did not stay in a drawer.

The best benefits

SWISS MADE SUPER-LUMINOVA®:

• Seven layers of Super-LumiNova® pigments are applied on the dials
• Hands are skeletonized and filled with Super-LumiNova® pigment
• Iconic C7 Super-LumiNova® pigments - The human eye has the highest sensitivity to the green emission, when coming directly from sunlight into the dark (photopic vision).
