NWA! Anyone know anything about it?
Merry Christmas everyone!
I got this one from eBay from a seller from Italy. It says “Eddie Bauer“ and reminds me a lot of a Hamilton Khaki. I really like it! It was cheap and it’s pretty small, just 34mm with 18mm lug width but also super thin at around 11mm. Wears great on a Nato strap, it’s fun!
I searched around a lot for hints on this brand and could not find much about it. It’s Quartz and says „French Movt Taiwan Dial“ on the dial. Seems quite old, maybe 80‘s or 90‘s? If any of you have ideas about this watch/brand/movement, I’d love to know!

Eddie Bauer is (I think they are still around, at least in mail-order form) an outdoor clothing company that has struggled this century. Their heyday was indeed the 80's and 90's. In fact...

So basically this was probably a private label piece, sort of like the LL Bean field watch by Hamilton. It seems to say France above the coil?
It's a fairly standard field watch design, so I wouldn't assume Hamilton myself.
Eddie Bauer is an fashion/outdoor company that is still going strong in North America. Every large mall in Canada has a store, and since they pivoted back to quality outdoor gear in the '10s they seem to be getting more popular.
