    Recently picked up a NOS Juvenia dress watch. It has its hang tag on. It also comes with the original leather strap and buckle, together with its plastic wrapping.
    The hang tag marked it as a reference 7495R and runs on a Juvenia 1105 movement.
    I have no idea about this watch and research did not bring me anywhere. I love the “disco volante” style and reminds me greatly of those made by UG and AP.

    If anyone has more information, please do share!

    Here are the photos:

    A very nice example of that ('70s) style of watch. Juvenia is a largely underrated manufacturer in the vintage market.

    I've seen an Ebay seller out of Israel with a stock of nos Juvenias. I've been tempted to buy one.

    I have been told that this is based on a Peseux 7001 based movement. It’s impressive how manufacturers have achieved thin mechanical watches back in those days.

    Yes while doing my research I came across the post. Of course I didn’t get it off the bay. I believe it is the same piece and I got it off a dealer so I definitely took on some mark up there.
