Thank you for sharing, John! That is a nice looking watch you have there, and as you said, it does remind me of something :-)
Thanks also for the information, I will be looking out for other "relatives" using the same case, could be interesting.

: Klocksebbe,
: I am far from being the most knowledgeable person on this forum but
: I think that the story of your watch is that most of the well
: known Chrono makers produced some sort of generic watches during
: the difficult economic times of the '70s when sales of their
: higher end named watches were tough. I have a no-name Breitling
: which looks a lot like yours with the exception of a date and I
: have seen many others with the same case and the same movement.
: It was said in another recent thread here that these no-name
: examples are a good and an inexpensive place to start a
: collection but they are never going to be much sought after
: except for the Heuer/Breitling etc name on the dial.
: Anyway, it is a nice looking watch and a good place to start a
: passion!
