Welcome to WatchCrunch. That's a very interesting and unusual case shape.

Thanks, I’ve never seen another like it as of yet. it runs the landeron 149 movement which looks stunning once opened up. 

Welcome to Watchcrunch.  That's a great looking watch, I'll be interested to see what else you've collected so far.

Looking forward to seeing more of your vintage stuff!

Welcome! I’ve never seen that watch before. Looks cool. When is it from and how did you find it?

Welcome.  There are a few vintage types around.

Welcom & Enjoy ! Great piece you have shared  

Thanks, I found it in a local charity shop. I cant Find anything about it other than other Sultana watches. 

I do like a old vintage watch prefably 70’s back all the way to the 20’s. I think s it because I enjoy the hunt of finding gems that know one else would take a second look at. 

Thanks 👍

I’m slowly looking around the forum at a few as I would like some light shared on a few of mine 👌

Welcome! I love that watch, especially the applied indices. 😍

Here is what I found on Sultana

SULTANA

Sultana is a watch brand tracing its roots to 1935 and currently owned by Free Town Watch Products of Hong Kong.

HISTORY

The Sultana Watch Company, Ltd. was founded in 1935 in La Chaux-de-Fonds by M. Gaston Schwarz, part of the Schwarz family also known for Venus watches and movements and Astin brand. The company was merged with Le Phare in 1950 to become Le Phare-Sultana SA, a name that would remain for 70 years. Both firms were based in the same town and both included members of the Schwarz family of watchmakers. Both brands operated independently for decades, but often shared a single booth at major watch fairs, with La Phare on one side and Sultana on the other. In the 1960s, Sultana also used the brand Carsic in certain markets.

The Sultana brand was not widely used by the combined company until it was re-launched after the 1991 acquisition of La Phare-Sultana by Renley Watch Manufacturing of Hong Kong. The Sultana brand continued until at least 2017, again sharing a booth at BaselWorld that year. Renley became Free Town in the 2000s.

Nothing like a funky vintage watch 👌 Welcome 

Woah - Landeron 149.

Could be used as an ebauche for a few brands based out of La Chaux-de-Fonds, including Lemania and Bulova.

But ^^^ check the above

And this one has an affinity for radioactive lume and American sub-tiers

Choose your poison

Welcome to WatchCrunch!

Roamer - easy. Anfibio Matic, automatic, MST 421 probably

After looking at those photos I had a better feeling about that one then the last one that you encountered.

Sometimes when he has been quiet for a while I forget that @ChronoGuy owns all the watches. And he knows what he owns.

There are a few more here scattered around, lurking, and only coming out of the shadows when someone is trying to fob off an obvious fake.

Oh God yes - looks legit

Nice watch to introduce yourself with. 

Stay Crunchy & MTFBWY

Thanks for the info on lessser known vintage watches👍 
I can see you might be a bad influence on me already 😂

I stay well away from those Indian watches that spam eBay. I have no time ( excuse the pun) for those. I tend to either by mine from charity shops or sellers that I know and trust. Although I do a fair bit of homework myself before purchasing  a vintage watch. 
 

Thanks for the welcome guys. I look forward to sharing more of my collection 😉👍

As soon as its here I’ll take some decent photos.

I will enable you further...
