Watch Description

Hello All, I have taken the watch to a watchmaker today. Its a 17 jewel 11afc movement. I have attached a picture. The crown has been replaced at some point. Still no ID on a model from the watchmaker as well although he was busy so I didnt ask to many questions Thanks - Ken

Interesting watch, not one that I have found a match to, but the dial is very similar to the Senator of this period (w/o the Waterproof on the dial), though the case lugs are obviously different.

I found another one identical to this one. It has an 11ACC movement. That's not much help identifying it, but it's a little more information.

I've researched this one a couple times too and don't see anything in the ads that matches either. The dial is reminiscent of several 60's era watches but the case doesn't line up, is the date code M0?

"Unknown" for now......

Hi Geoff,

Yes the case is marked M0. I am going to be taking the watch to a jewler today to get it opened as I am new to vintage watch collecting Im unsure how it opens. I will snap a pic of the movment and post it later.

Thanks

Ken

I believe I found the model and variant in the 1961 line book BAWD0147 page 39.  I assume the waffle dial is not visible in the picture.
