The 'Neil Armstrong' Douglas SkinDiver

Douglas

(see also Wolbrook)

Depatment-store branded lower priced models in USA. Simple 1-jewel movements normally. Most notable is the Skin Diver model, reputedly worn by Neil Armstrong in his pre-moon X15 testing period. This is conjecture as there is no photographic proof but a Douglas was sold at auction as part of his belongings in 2019 (and made in excess of $5000).
