Hi,

The only marking on the inner case back is "Nickel Chrome." I don't see anything on the movement. Can you tell if this is Swiss and if so, who was the likely manufacturer? Also, any idea as to the age of this watch?

Many thanks,
Bruce

Looks like a generic Swiss "digital" jumping hour. I'd need to pull out the parts book to identify it but it's probably from something like Unitas, Schild or any of major movment suppliers. Value around $300-375 if it's running perfectly, way less if it has mechanical issues.

Thanks, Zaf. Very helpful. Can you guess as to the age? '20s? '30s? '40s?

Usually, they are from the late 1930s.
