Great forum, thank you for your efforts. I have this 1974 watch which I cannot find any information on. In the papers it is (handwritten) referred to as ref: 5634. This yields zero results when searching. The backside says 564-42. This yields one result (a similar watch) which states it has caliber K881. Do you know if there is a more common reference for this piece? Or is it a rare watch? It's lacking a manual, any lead on where to search for this? I'm a bit worried about some details, for example the seconds hand keeps moving when adjusting the time. I'm wary of turning it to the right date because of this (a quick date change seems not available, but again, scared to put too much force to the crown shaft).   Thank you all. | ||

Anyone has a clue? Tried google image search in the meantime, still no results. | ||

564-42 would be the reference number of the case, with the -42 probably specifying a particular dial style. I don't have any more info. K881 sounds plausible as to the movement. K881 is not a quick set date movement, but it will change if you go back and forth from 12:00 to 10PM. | ||
