This early 1970s watch has a superb 'sunburst' dial that reminds me of a 1950s Fender Stratocaster or Gibson Les Paul guitar. The case is novel too, a gold plated 'Compressor' case which was only in production for a few years in the 1960s/70s and intended to be watertight – the caseback has a divers' helmet symbol.

This watch uses the well-known ETA 2472 automatic movement – it winds itself as you wear it thanks to the action of a rotating weight inside. This came from internet watch dealers Timefactors.com.
