So, I got this recently. There's not much known about this brand. I guess it kicked the bucket when the quartz crisis rushed in just like hundreds of others small brands in the 1970s.

This one maybe has (or not) genuine dial, who knows. It does look fine to me with some quirks (some wavy tracks).
I have found that it has similar dial features as Enicar Big Eye V234. Same hands. Same seconds subdial.

Anyway, it works well, has for me good size and looks very pretty (especially on daylight).

And has a great movement ticking inside. A Valjoux 234. Beautiful. And watch comes with custom made display back. So, this was a reason for me to get it. Just to admire that movement.
This one has so called Green Setting version of V234 - instead of 17 jewels, it has 13. I guess it was cheaper?

I also found multiple Heli Reymond chronographs with display back. So, interesting...

And I have found one with purple, dark blue, and white dial.
