I came across an old watch that I have forgotten for almost 10 years.
About the watch, it is from a company called Mortima it is a French Made,dual crown sports watch. The dial is blue with 24 hour markings in white,features an internal diving bezel with calendar date with a small circular magnifyer at the 4-O-clock position in red numbers.
The external bezel has tachymeter reading and can be turned.
The crown at located at the 2-O-clock position sets the internal diving bezel.
While the other is a pull-crown located at the 4-O-clock position, sets the time.
The watch case is massive around 40mm excluding the crown.
The strap size is 20 mm. I have an aftermarket stainless-steel bracelet mounted.
The mineral crystal and the watch case is scratched,but the manual wind 21 jewels movement seems to be keeping time.
Most watches have either painted or applied logo on the dial.
Mortima has a small painted chicken located above the name of the watch.
The style of the watch resembles the 1969 Seiko 6139 Automatic Chronograph.
I am guessing that the age of watch must be near 40 years old.
