That movement you point to is also not listed in any of my books.  Obviously the lower end chrono's were not considered important enough to be included.  I find these obscure movements very interesting, though!

Thanks for the interesting response!  How about a pic of your watch?
I'll dig it out tomorrow.  I am also curious enough to finally open up the back and see just how dirty it is in there :D
I really wish I could get it running, while it was like $15 brand new in '71, it is totally priceless to me.  I wore it to the first running of the Pocono 500 USAC Indy race and was just as proud as if I had a Heuer Carrera on my wrist.

BTW, when it was running, the tick was so loud it could be heard across the room in a closed drawer!

Cheers,
Griff
