Not a Super Compressor as it does not bear the patent marks. for E. Piquerez.

Edit- I put the above in the wrong thread. This watch does of course utilise the technology.

I also have one of these without a bezel, I wish someone would make a mold from an original, it’s so simple to do these days with all the plastic hobby kits out there. Just curious do you know what watch that bezel is from so maybe I can source it for my watch. 

Thanks
