Re: Omega and Darwil..
In Response To: Re: Omega and Darwil.. ()

Hi!
My name is Zarko and I have a DARWIL Special Flat LUX 62. I got the watch from a friend in the mif 60's (probably 1965 or 66). To my knowledge, Darwil company still exists (may be owned by Omega), and you can find some relatively new or brand new Darwil watches on the eBay.com. I love the watch I have, it's still running good.
Regards

: My name is Igor and I am from Yugoslavia and
: Darwil was one of the most famous and
: popular watches in the region douring the
: 60's and 70's. My father had one and my
: grandfather still owns one. I have been
: trying to find one to buy for my fathers
: birthday but I am not able to find one and
: all my research ends up at Omega. It looks
: that Omega did buy out Darwil and that only
: way you can get one is to find an old used
: one.
