Watch Description

Literally spotless and fully functional mounted on a Speidel band as  received. I haven't opened it. I suspect it's a Clipper, but find no ad confirmation. It appears the majority of Set-O-Matics were Clippers.

This might actually be part of the Clipper series. Still looking for confirmation.

I studied that linebook page (Tray labeled Clipper Set-O-Matics) prior to submitting. It shows 2 models (see below) that are close, but no match. They have a differently shaped case, and  appear to be the same Clipper as each other with different band and face color. Labeled 12651 and 12652. I actually just submitted a NOS of the 1st watch on left.

Subject watch is labeled 12671, which is really close. My thought is it's part of the same Set-O-Matic Clipper series.

I also saw a number of Caravelle models that sport the label 'Set-O-Matic, so I still think this is a function and not necessarily a model name.
