Hi, folks - I recently came across a SANDOZ branded 21 Jeweled 'FLAG' model wristwatch. The watch is labeled SWISS, though I understand the company is Spanish owned. As for identifiers, on the back of the case is what must be the Sandoz Crest or Logo, along with the word FLAG. Below this is what I would guess to be a makers mark; the capital letter B with a star above it enclosed by a half lozenge. Below this reads 546 X. Around the circumference are the words ANTIMAGNETIC, SHOCKPROOFED, GOLD FILLED 0, SWISS MADE, TROPICALIZED, 10 MICRONS. I'm keeping the watch for my own collection, so I'm not really interested in an appraisal. I would, however, like to know when it was made and any peculiars of its manufacture. I have tried contacting the current incarnation of Sandoz several times with no response. Any help is gratefully accepted and warmly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Mercury   | ||

It looks like a late 1960s watch to me. I think the current Sandoz isn't related all that much to the vintage one, probably why you have not received an answer. |
