Westclox Dual Bezel World Timer c.1960's
Westclox Dual Bezel World Timer c.1960's
It’s not too often that you see dual bezel watches in general (outer or inner), but to throw in world time measurement into the mix makes for quite the rarity in the watch world.
Wrapped in a 330ft.-rated diver’s case, this Westclox is a definite charmer. Silver and black bidirectional bezels join the gloss black dial for just the monochrome needed to contrast the wonderfully aged mint green and yellow lumed markers and hands, respectively. And what the heck…a lollipop sweep hands for good measure. Why not?
While these may pop up every once in a blue moon, you’re guaranteed not to find a nice example of this unique 1960’s diving world timer. Enjoy!

[All vintage watches are expected to function as described. However, due to age and generally unknown service history (unless otherwise stated), these watches may not keep time as accurately as new or quartz (battery) watches. This is completely normal and does not indicate that there is a major problem. Like your automobile, all mechanical watches will likely need to be serviced at some point in time. Please keep this in mind, as there is no guarantee regarding when these vintage watches may need standard maintenance. Every watch sold by Buying On Time is done so with the expectation that it is not currently in need of service or repair, unless noted. We guarantee that all watches sold are accurately described and in the stated condition when they leave our hands.]
