Can anyone tell me the model/year of this Certina

Hi,

Could anyone help me out. I don't seem to be able to decipher the reference number and the serial number on this watch. Also, the logo seems to be missing the iconc C's. Is that common for watches from this era?

Thanks!

Hi the serial number dates the watch from 1951
the other smaller number 8861-1 ?? Difficult to read the first two numbers 88 represents the movement, number 61 the case material and 1 is the model number please check these numbers again if this is correct then I can give you the caliber what’s inside the watch I can not see the dial very good make a more accurate photo and send it thanks !

This is a watch I'm looking to buy, so unfortunately I don't have any other photos yet. Isn't the logo wrong if it's from 1951? According to https://www.vintagecertinas.ch/en/certina-case-movement-and-serial-numbers/ the cursive logo was in use until 1953.

Yes, I understand, that’s correct the Certina logo should be cursive until 1953 it looks not that way be careful with Certina’s you see some fake dials around ask the seller that he send you a more accurate pic of the dial good luck !
