Hello

I am looking for more details about my Glycine mechanical watch.
What is the model? Reference?
What is the manufacturing period?
How many manufactured approx?
What is the estimated value?
Many thanks for your help
Best Regards,

Guillaume

Never seen a Glycine like that. The case is from the late '60s / early '70s. It would help if we could get couple pics of inside the case back and the movement.

Here are additional picture.
On the back I can read "300 feet".
Nothing marked on the mouvement.

Unlikely to have had a model name, and if there was a reference (unlikely), it should appear on the case back.

1960s

The movement appears to be an A. Schild base caliber, probably 1686.

As above. Probably a relumed and reprinted dial. Case is nice and the large crown cool. What size is case?

If someone has already seen the same as mine I would appreciate your feedback.
Could it be a pre Kroesen's version?

Those are automatic models. I think this might just be a .....insert name..... generic skin diver from 60s/70s, that’s been repainted. It’s definitely interesting and a great size. I’d wear it!

It’s just a skin diver that glycine put their name on like so many of the period. I have a couple with the same case and different dials by other brands. Nice wearing stainless divers in the $2-300 range.
