Notes: During the early to mid 60’s the Ref.6424 was made in slightly wider 36mm (the original was 34mm) case making it far more suitable for the modern man’s wrist. The watch is powered by a Calibre 1210, hand wound movement and features luminescent tritium indexes. The original watch came with a stainless steel bracelet. If you see one with a leather strap, you can be pretty sure it is not the original.

Mechanism: This calibre dates from the mid 1950s. The calibre 1210 was one of the many derivations of the old Hunter 10½ movement, which dated back to the 1920s. The 1210 was one of the last of these manual wind movements, unlike the original 10½ movement it features shock protection on the balance & escape pivots. These movements usually feature 17 jewels, and were used in the 3038 series of 'Pre-Cellini' watches.

The 1210 is the sister to the 1215, with the primary difference being that the 1215 has a date feature where the 1210 does not.
