I have an old Carlisle dive watch from the 60s. I love it but know little except that the Ohio Carlisle Dept store sold them. I should open to see if an A. Schild.

So now you are aware of at least two (though I have seen some women’s Penney’s Benrus pieces on eBay). I do not see that I can attach a photo here so I refer you to my instagram @blancepear

It’s probably worth noting that J.Crew has partnered with Timex and has just released a collab watch done by Marathon. The Marathon watch is a tweaked version (case color and dial mod) of a watch that is a delivered-to-the-military product. And it has a (subtle) J.Crew stamp on the case back. J.Crew isn’t a department store, but they do have a mall presence…

I am the proud owner of a Dorset automatic 17j skindiver but, for the life of me, I can’t figure who made the Montgomery Ward co-branded movement. You can see good pix of the movement here:

Any ideas? LMK. Cheers, Noah
