·Does the watch have a Danish provenance? Unless our old pal Wikipedia is steering me wrong, Chevron Oil A/S would be a Danish subsidiary, yes?

The name on the back has a germanic resonance so it makes sense. Im guessing the watch changed hands a few times before.

·It took me a year to be reunited with this watch.
My watchmaker serviced it in a month but the watch got stuck with him as I did not travel to pick it up.
Finally, it’s with me now.

Could be Norwegian as well. 1970 coincides with the start of the Norwegian oil boom. Funny, I think I've seen this watch before, kind of remember seeing a watch presented to an employee of Chevron Oil A/S years ago.

I am not sure but the watch is presented in 1970 to someone who worked there for 30 years. So, the person started in 1940...
Name is germanic...

·Could be both, "A/S" is a name for a stock-based company in Norway and in Denmark. Chevron was present on both those markets, tho Norway always was the "bigger pie" in the gas&oil industry.
Anyway, I don't know much about vintage Constellations, but this is a beautiful watch, congrats OP.

Today, no 'Chevron Oil' company exists in the official NO nor DK Trade Registers, but yea it was 50 years ago, so company could has been dissolved, merged or simply renamed plenty of times.
