·Most here are more into mechanical watches so Quartz isn’t that popular.
Model # is inside the case back so when you change the battery next get a few photos.
Many of these were made in the 1970s
take a few photos on the other side and will tell I’d it’s gold if there is any hallmarks. A steel caseback will reveal it’s gold capped.
Still a nice watch I must add and definitely wearable due to its c-case design.

·Thank you for the quick reply. I just took a look and it says 950 SWISS 4835 at the bottom of the dial. This was the top Google result:

The back is steel, so gold plated/capped. The look is great, I agree and it is definitely a wearable watch. Looking forward to getting a battery in there.

·Do you all recommend a service for this watch given it's age? Where should I look and what can I expect from it?

·Look for a Swatch service centre in your country.
Or
A quality watchmaker.
Tell us what country are you in ? So we may be able to point you in the right direction.
It shouldn’t cost as much as a mechanical watch 😉 👍
