Wolbrook watches: owner reviews and feedback

Small 38mm watch and rather thin 12mm with the domed glass as it should be, this wolbrook / douglas (strange this double name) does more than the job. The simplicity is disconcertingly effective. It is a field indeed, but its play of hands its skindiver type case and especially its small second which is not one, differentiates it from other fields in my humble opinion. Indeed, at 6 o'clock is the morning / evening indicator, yes like an Explo2, seriously and it is for this small detail that I acquired it. The Tro…

Reissue of Neil Armstrong's watch from the time he was a test pilot, a very vintage skin diver style look with its transformed myiota mechanical caliber, it has all the arguments to make it attractive, American brand but made in France, it sits perfectly on the wrist, in short I absolutely do not regret my choice.

Neil Armstrong, the first man to set foot on the moon, is not associated with any watch brand because his watch remained in the lunar module.

Beyond the pure marketing effect, I must admit that I very quickly appreciated the look of this watch: it is simple and extremely readable, I really like the typography of the indexes as well as the good charge of Super-Luminova tha…

Following the (re)discovery of this Brand, on YouTube, I was tempted, by a visit, on the Brand's Website... Pleasantly surprised, by the Models, the Accessibility... and the Speed of Delivery... I am not disappointed at all with my purchase... I wear it every day... After research, on the Website, a Tropic/Racing Bracelet dresses it perfectly... I never get tired of it...
