It has a movement based on the Accutron/Bulova "tuning fork" movement.
This version has the 1260 movement ( I believe the 1255 doesn't have a day display).
Mine is from around 1972. I got it complete with EVERYTHING. & I mean everything ( See pic below ).
The gold plating is showing some signs of its age, but I call that "history".
I was about to say that they are rare enough that when you want to find one, you won't be able to, But I found one in the bay ( please E-mail me if you want the link )
Here's the sellers pic... (notice it is NOT marked Geneve & is the 1255 version)
& here's a pic of the movement ( from the same auction)
What I should say about these watches is that spares are becoming VERY difficult to find. If you buy one make sure it works first & check the "date wheel" - they are as rare as hens teeth.
