I purchased A Big Pilot, Inner hour Dial a few months ago and it has a Swiss Fontainemelon St96-4, 17 jewels Movement in it.  All I could find on the Internet about the movement is that it's a NOS from the 60's and Azimuth is using it in some of their LE models.    If anybody knows the history behind this engine I would be happy (Simon where are you? Omegaman are you there?).

By the way, this watch is 47.6mm so let's say 48mm by about 11mm and has dome sapphire crystal.  Lume is week but ok. It's an homage to the sooooooo beautiful  Azimuth B-UHR Inner Hour dial, that will be in my collection in a short future I hope.

The reason I want to know is that I bought this watch from Samson328 (Samson watch co.) from eBay and I paid under $200 for it .  I think this is a great deal because it's a gorgeous timepiece and it has a Swiss movement in it.  There is one now on ebay if anybody has interest, 16h left and it's at $110 right now.

Thx guys!
