Finally managed to get the correct battery for this one.

Beautiful cushion case with radial brushing on the top of the case with polished bezel and edges running the length of the case.

The boxed hesalite crystal is great and so fitting for the watch of this era. The smooth sweep of the seconds hand is a nice bonus.

I got the same model, belonged to my grandfather, needs some work though as although the tuning fork seems to work (hums) the seconds hand isn’t working.

Nice! Are you looking to get it fixed?

I managed to get a working set, hope it lasts. The 344 battery is not common where I’m at and I hear these watches go though one battery a year. 😅

Yeah I want it restored out of memory of my grandfather. I imagine pulling out the crown if not wearing for a while will save battery.
