·One has to watch out for contemporary counterfeits. I would be most wary of quartz watches as so many were being produced in the 1980s. Everyone wanted quartz. There was a lot of overproduction then as well, so a good name often could be swapped with something that was sold by the container load. The first thing I was told in the late 1980s when I started collecting. "Watch out for fakes."

I also like the dial. It is very interesting. Never seen other dial like that but sadly it is not in very good shape and I do not know if it will be possible to be restored to original condition. It is only an amateur opinion..
I liked these two replies better in that foreign language 😁
OP...If that was your dad's watch then try to get it to a decent local watchmaker to see if it runs and can be cleaned up enough for you to wear!
