Anyone know anything about these watches?
Hello everyone! First post here, been collecting watches since October and I hop on this app to browse other people's collections for inspiration of what watch to get, or as of recently for Seiko modding.
About 3 weeks ago, I saw this listing on ebay for non functional CompuChrons (shown above) without battery, as they are quartz LED watches. They are too thin for a LR44 but the battery is the perfect diameter. I've ordered batteries that are about 1.5mm smaller to see if they fit and more importantly power the watch.
As far as I can tell, there is little information about these watches online. I know these images may not be enough for many, and in which case I am happy to add more if necessary.

A 1970s watch. Best I could find about about the brand. This one isn't exactly the same model but the same company

I've seen those before but not the same shape, I'm wondering if this was a limited release or something? I bought the watches from a European seller, and every time I look into it I just get what you posted... very perplexing
Their calculator watch was used on Battlestar Galactica

That's really neat! I just figure if they had such a prominence then they'd have more info on these two smaller watches.
You can check a battery size chart for some that are thinner but the same diameter. Perhaps SR43?

I'll order one of those if the ones I bought were too small, thank you!
