"One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
The famous phrase uttered by astronaut Neil Armstrong in 1969 lives on through the Douglas Wolbrook X-15 1969 Limited Edition Skindiver WT Hand Wound Tool watch, the most faithful re-edition to-date of the tool-watch once owned and worn by Neil Armstrong.
The beautiful watch first grabs your initial attention with the Douglas signature logo on the face, highlighted with Green C7 super-luminova on its hands and indices. A hand-finished, brushed 316L stainless steel case includes a hesalite glass box with an inside “cyclops” date window magnifier, as well as screwed caseback strictly numbered to 1969 pieces.
