2.1237 DOLLAR FRENCH DIVER, 1970s

A charming 1970s French “skin-diver” style watch from Dollar, with a clean matte-black dial, bold Arabic numerals, and a classic timing bezel. It’s a straightforward, mechanical piece – compact, wearable, and full of tool-watch vibe.

The watch presents in honest vintage condition, with visible wear consistent with age (notably to the chromed case). The dial is clean and highly legible, and the thick acrylic crystal gives the watch the correct warm vintage appearance.

About the DOLLAR French watches

In the 1960s–1970s, “Dollar” is most commonly encountered as a French-market brand offering practical, affordable mechanical watches – using mostly French movements such as those produced by France Ébauches. Pieces like this capture the era well: simple mechanics, strong readability, and sporty styling influenced by the dive-watch trend of the time.

A Dollar watch is a clever, understated fit for anyone in finance or banking – an authentic vintage piece with a name that quietly matches the profession.
