great looking watch and a super buy imho hand6.gif

that particular watch is made in China and although the movement may be one of the old Swiss companies that went to the wayside during the quartz revolution my findings are that it used a French ebauche and was mainly exported to China....Dr.Ranffts has the specs on the Swiss version below....
