• Period/Decade: Circa 1970–1979

• Case Diameter: Striking vintage size of 50 mm (excluding crown and bow), offering excellent legibility and a commanding presence.
• Movement: Genuine mechanical manual-wind calibre France Ébauches (FE) 233-60. The original factory hallmark and caliber numbers are clearly stamped on the lower main plate beneath the balance wheel. Features an built-in Antichoc (shock protection) and antimagnetic system.
