I appreciate the retro 70's styling of your Ever-Swiss.
I got this Omega Dynamic Geneve about two years ago, it has the Caliber 752. I don't wear this watch that often, but it still wears great. I even like the jingly jangly bracelet.
I like the thickness of TV shaped cases. I have a Raketa TV that gets more wear than ten other more expensive watches. The thickness lets them not get lost under a sweater or jacket sleeve.

Can you share a photo of this watch? I am very curious..😀
Nice, vintage watches have something very special about them.

This may be as late as 1985. I would put it to late 1970's. The Soviets kept this style longer than the Swiss, Japanese and American watchmakers. There are a lot on eBay. I don't know where this style originated but the earliest examples that I have seen are Seiko and Bulova.

It is indeed very unique. I will search for more watches with this shape.
I've always been drawn to quirky and unusual watches such as these. If this style of watch interests you as well, you may want to try to pick up a copy of the book "Retro Watches" by Josh Sims & Mitch Greenblatt
