    Timex Electric? Probably the early 1960s one with the German Durowe movement. A contemporary of the Hamilton Electric, but the Timex was a vastly better watch, and sold for $39.95. Right or wrong?

    It was easy! I have that exact watch. Retrieved it from a waste paper basket 30 years ago. The owner threw it out when it wouldn’t start with a new cell. Brought it home, cleaned it, and it runs better than any Hamilton Electric in my collection.

    that's nice to hear. only an experienced collector can see real value to what others considered as worthless.

    On mine from yesterday?

    Another hint: It's from a fairly new watch company.

    Nice guess! I'll count it, since I was clueless on the individual models until I bought mine. It's an ALT-1Z GMT chrono, one of Bremont's first commercially-available models:

    Mine is a limited edition with the logo at 3 o'clock, plus some custom engraving on the case back. It uses the "old" style dial (was changed 2015-ish).


    This is the new commercially-available version:

    I personally prefer the more traditional look of the original version to the newer one.
