I recently bought this watch on the bay and am interested in any information about it.

I think it's from the 1960s. And the crown is not original, is it?

Thank you very much for any help.

Here is a link to the photos:

I do not have any specific info on it, but it is not 1960s. It's probably mid 1970s to late 1970s, maybe even early 1980s. I think the watch is supposed to have a crown of that style though this one looks like a replacement.

Yes, thanks, I meant 1970s.

The movement is an automatic, caliber 900. I haven't really been able to find out much about it. Or even find any pictures of what these watches looked like originally.

The dial looks original (based on its so-so condition)?

Dial is definitely original.
