    Apart from Comet, seems identical to the more common Conquest version. Welcome to Beefy Lug club!

    One of the earlier Comets, probably early-mid 60s.

    The moniker was used on a wide variety of references, including the late 60's/early 70's Comets, which are quite funky and colorful.

    Watch is from the mid-1950's.

    From what I can tell, the Comet is an earlier name for the Conquest. Case looks to be the same. The All Guard is similar, except that it is usually found in steel.

    I think that both models were consolidated into the name Conquest around 1957.

    Hope this helps,
