Friends, I decided to gently open this old Austin watch and check out the movement. Pic is attached. The only identifying mark is the UTC 27. My internet journey points to a Savoie movement perhaps, but I know nothing about it. Any ideas?

A legit Austin should have some bionics inside it, no?

Lol. In my younger days I certainly acted like it 😁

Many thanks! If it stumped @TexOmega , there was no way I would figure it out.

I think you have a slightly downgraded (17 jewels vs. 21 jewels) version of this French made movement.
