1960s Wolbrook Skindiver Time Zone Bezel 1J

Updated September 15, 2026

This is a Wolbrook Skindiver, a French tool watch with genuine collector interest — one example famously belonged to Neil Armstrong. This vintage Wolbrook Skindiver manual-wind mechanical wristwatch features a black 24-hour dial with luminous green baton and Arabic markers, an orange-tipped GMT-style hand, a date window at 3 o'clock, and text reading Shock Resistant, France. The rotating bezel is engraved with reference cities Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, New York, Stamboul, and Greenwich for reading time differences — the same city set used on the original Skindiver bezel, though it functions as a simplified time-difference scale rather than a full multi-zone worldtimer. The movement is signed Woolbrock Watch, One 1 Jewel, Unadjusted, CE France. The case back is stamped Tested Waterresistant 6ATM, Base Metal Bezel, Stainless Steel Back, Antimagnetic, with the inner case back marked Wolbrook Watch Co, France. Fitted with a black textured strap, case diameter measures approximately 35.63mm. This watch currently starts and stops rather than running continuously, and servicing is recommended.
