Waltham Skin Diver
Waltham Skin Diver
As the ‘60s progressed, Waltham Watch Company continued making a name for themselves in the modest sport watch category — and black-dialed skin diver watches were present virtually every year in their lineup.
While some of the timepieces sported contemporary, edgy dial styles and overall layouts, this skin diver variant took the classic approach and executed it quite well.
A nice, medium sized diver for the period, this Waltham forgoes the bulk, throws in a dash of it’s age, and is ultimately as pleasant to wear as it is to view.

[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.]
