Hi Denis, have you found anything in the dB that matches this one?
Not yet Geoff,neither here or Watchophilia.Probably another one where it's just a model #.
I didn't see anything either. Several models are close but no match.
Unknown
I agree, I also found no conformity
Unknown for me
It's funny how few ads from the 70's there are and most are for Accutrons.
Unable to find anything in the 70s ads to match. Watch is characteristic of the manual-wind Sea King models; but will go with Unknown at this time.
Here is the ad but alas no name.

Too bad,this one looks so nice it deserves a name.
