It is a weird thing, there is no reference on the caseback. I bought it online in 2018 around 200 euros. Hand wound 24h caliber, quite accurate (+5,2 spd), without quick date setting mechanism. It is fun.

Just “Polar”.

I’ve never heard of 2424. On Meranom, it lists a watch with the 2424 as being a 2431. Does yours feel like a manual-wind movement or can you wind forever like an automatic one? I’m curious about whether or not it’s just a 2431 with the rotor or the whole self-winding mechanism removed.

Maybe I’ll get a 280193 to see for myself.

Very neat watch with that lume

It winds like a manual one, you feel when it is fully wound and you cannot go further, unlike an automatic one.

Very interesting. Now I think I’m going to get one with a 2424. I love winding my watches and having one with a comparatively low PR jives with that well. Thank you for the incidental discovery
