Beautiful! I do love blue hands against a light dial, such a good look...
Any idea about the movement?

No idea, someone showed me their watch when they noticed my 60’s Seamaster. All he knew was the Helvetia watch was a similar era to my Omega. I had never heard of the brand before that interaction 🤔

At some point, when you open the case back, I'd love to know what movement is in there. 👍

Shoot, I misunderstood, my apologies. I understand now. 🤝
Here is a good primer on Helvetia. I knew the Omega connection but this research really lays it out. The Boillat connection is interesting too. A different, but no doubt related, Boillat made this:
In the Swiss watch making world you see the same names over and over. Their descendants still control and manage companies today.

Quite the story. With all the name changes no wonder it’s hard to sort out who made what.
