Thanks mate. That watch started out life as an Invicta 8926OB that I used for the case and Seiko automatic movement.  I modified the case by hand (I actually used the file on a Swisstool to debrand the inscribed logo on the side) and replaced the crystal, dial, caseback, hands, bezel, insert and bracelet as I saw fit.

With a nod to my Finnish neighbours...  ;)


Got this one home yesterday. Bought at local auction here in Sweden. Sellers father got it new. There is a clear Finnish connection as the seller had a Finnish name and the inlay "MARITIM" is a Finnish company in the boating business (since 1912).

Pictures are as it was on arrival - no cleaning yet. It will tidy up perfectly with some TLC. What drew me to it was its age, the condition (especially the clean and non oxidized liners) and of course the metal head tweezers.

I would date this one 1977 to 1979 (circa as always).

Clues - and correct me if I am off the charts. There is no bump on the saw spring (pre 1980), the style of small screwdriver, and the peening of the scissors screw.

The last clue - is there any consensus about when peening of this kind started/stopped?

I cannot say if the Victorinox inlay is nickel-silver or stainless.

What say yee?

Great carries for today, guys! :tu:

I cannot say if the Victorinox inlay is nickel-silver or stainless.
For whatever it's worth, that looks like a stainless inlay to me. I've observed that nickel silver tends to yellow over time. But I believe Victorinox started using stainless inlays around 1980. So I'm unsure if that's at all conclusive. :think: Hopefully someone with better knowledge than I will chime in.

Unfortunately I don't have any more knowledge about that but I did want to comment that it is a beauty and I had one very similar to that once a long time ago!
