    I recently acquired this Solix watch but couldn't find much information about it. The case size is 38mm without crown (well, crown is missing) and the dial seems pretty nicely aged. Hands have lost its lume but looks fine as is. The movement is also in pretty decent shape (anyone know what movement this is?) The downside is the plating on the case has a lot of wear but is at least priced accordingly.

    Based on my google research, it seems that this brand was a few times linked to military personnels (a few threads of "my grandpa's watch when he was in the USAF etc."). Coincidentally, I also happen to get this from a guy who's father is in the USAF ::screwloose::. I will try to ask the seller some questions but in the meantime, if you do know something about this brand, please do share!

    And here's the photos...

    Cheers!

    Looking at Microlisk it seems that Solix was a brand name of Selza Watch SA in Biel, one of the many many brands they used.

    Can't find much else.
