I had the stainless steel version on a metal bracelet. I bought it back in 1981. I remember that it was 50 metres water resistant. If I recall correctly, you changed the time by pushing the centre of the winding crown in with a pen or paper clip. It was a very nice watch back then. My one had a pale champagne colored dial.
