This turner up today and I’m rather ecstatic! It came with its original Isofrane with Omega buckle, boxed with papers and service receipt. I’ve wanted one of these for years, so I’m rather happy it finally happened.
Nice watch! Looks very similar 😀 to my Lemania Newport. I think it was also sold at least as an Heuer & Aquastar.

I am still kicking myself for selling this one...

Yesterday I saw a store selling Yema reeditions of familiar vintage models. At 38.5mm it’s quite wearable for a man or a woman, the movement is a Seiko Mecaquartz, at a price point of approx 450 euros I thought it’s pretty good value for a cheerful looking daily wearer if you’re not looking to invest 3k to 30k in a vintage example.
(PS I have no connection to the store or to Yema).

Those are fun! It does remind me though of how much I wish there were off-the-shelf mecaquartz movements with a 12-hour chrono subdial, instead of the 24-hour dial.

I might be really falling in love with yacht timers and central minutes chronographs. I find the layout much more legible than a minutes subdial. Not to mention, they are fun to look at.
