A chrono-matic mystery!

Hey Guys,

I've recently acquired a Hamilton/Buren Chrono-Matic that has me stumped. The dial more than anything else. It has an applied Buren logo, and a nice, fat red dot at the 3 minute marker of the 30 min. register. It is a Jean Singer signed dial, which as you can see, has the correct markings. Otherwise, it is completely Hamilton in build. The case, crown, and case back are all quite typically 11002-3. The movement looks to be early Cal. 11 Hamilton. (Buren Micro with the DuBois-DePraz chrono module) I have been researching for days now concerning its origins and have come up empty. Anyone here seen this before? Any insight is appreciated! The only images I have posted are on Instagram under hubcityvintage, but I will try to upload dither examples elsewhere and the update here with their location. If you'd like to help me solve this mystery, send an email to sethrobers1010@gmail.com and I can reply with images that way as well.

Thanks,

Seth
