You don't list a location. It's my understanding that they are very regional, for reasons explained on their wikipedia page.

Since 1971 the Sandoz brand name has been split into four main areas of production, due to its licences being leased or sold. This has led to four separate brands, Sandoz Singapore, Sandoz Hong Kong, Sandoz Swiss, and Sandoz Spain (Munreco). All of these produce watches under the Sandoz name, but each production company has its own line of products. Sandoz Swiss manufactures high quality watches, while Sandoz Hong Kong and Sandoz Singapore manufacture cheaper watches of lower quality.[citation needed] Sandoz Hong Kong products are assembled in Hong Kong using Swiss movements from ETA SA.

I just purchased this one. ETA 2824 with incabloc. Prong set gem stones. Sapphire. Datejust homage. Jubilee style dial. President bracelet. This is made in Hong Kong. Sandoz still has a following in Asia and the Middle East, but mostly Asia.
