 goofy just could not leave the only Automatic of the bunch laying therehearteyes.gif Grabbed this Fossil from Nordstrom's Rack for under $45 bucks. Skeleton dial, the red you see is actually the rotor as the caseback is solid.

Thought it might be a Miyota at first, but it winds clockwise.......probably a Modified Valjoux..............

 This is by far the best looking Fossil I've ever seen.  In other words, it doesn't look like a Fossil but a fine watch.  ;)

Edit: Plus I didn't know Fossil made automatic watches.  That's like Swatch making mechanical watches.  Just doesn't add up!

 Thanks everyone:) BTW and I need to confirm this....the watch is actually a Miyota 6T51 which was a smaller movement intended for ladies watches, hence the ability to skeletonize the dial. the other thing is it beats at 28800 BPH similar to ETA.

Going to do a little research to confirmhand6.gif

 Thats freakin cool looking!!!  I also didn't know Fossil made any autos!.  Man, can you say the words...  Stocking stuffer?  Might have to send my wife out hunting for that thing, Nordstrom Rack is one of her favorite haunts!  :D

From what I found, I'm sure that the movement is the Miyota 6T51. Not sure any other movment uses this method to set the date..........

date is set by pulling the crown to position3 then back to 2 in a clicking type motionhand6.gif pretty neat. Make's it an even more interesting little watchperfect.gif

hmmm , that's interesting.  my '64 Constellation has a similar date-setting mechanism.  you are right, it's a pretty neat idea.
