You Win: It is a Triton Spirotechnique!!
In Response To: Triton? *NM* ()

You guys are amazing . . . having identified this very unusual watch, with a couple of questions remaining.

I know very little about this one, but I have really enjoyed the TAG Heuer Spirotechnique, so I thought that it would be good fun (and a good education) to go back to the roots / origins.

If you know more about this one, please post the basic information. We know about Spirotechnique -- the French supplier of diving gear and supplies. But I know almost nothing about the Triton brand or this watch.

One thing that I do know: the bezel appears to be "bakelite" and it is absolutely amazing!! Patina is also nice!!
