Is it a Speedmaster?

 

One more hint. Note the lack of a crown on the edge of the case at the 3:00. Bulova, sort of.

 

LIP Electric? (Though that's earlier than 1965)

 

Accutron!

 

Dammit - just beat me

 

They're beautiful watches (photo pulled from the web: )

 

LIP is very under-rated. While they made a lot of bland watches over the years, there's some real gems in their back catalogue.

 

Obscure - Nivada?

 

Nein

 

Well, I'm going bed now; in Italy is 1 a.m.
See you tomorrow.
In the meantime think of a bird

 

Not just obscure (and small), but also one of those brands that felt they needed to advertise all of their attributes on the dial. Perhaps Delbana?

 

Right! 1964, one owner (me) Accutron 214.

 

No. Fly to the north

 

Albatross?

 

Dugena?

 

That bird is a tern like this one

 

Is it the infamous Rolex homage the.... tern-o-graph? (I'll get me coat).

 

"Tern" is the key

 

E-Tern-A? That would be something....
