Good day, dear forum members, I have acquired an interesting specimen for my watch collection. No matter how much I searched for information about them on the vast expanses of the internet, I couldn't find anything that could shed light on their history. Under the hood, there's an automatic chronometer caliber 1109 (ETA 2892A2). By the way, the number on the mechanism itself is in the series 49727xxx, while on the lug of the watch case it's 49682xxx, a difference of 45 thousand. I've read somewhere that this can happen. Additionally, there are two references written inside the cover: 168.1501 and 368.1501. I read that this practice might be for the American market. Also, I have a question about the hallmark; maybe someone can tell me what it means? But the most interesting thing for me is the inscription on the back cover of the watch: OLIMPIC TIMING SPECIAL EDITION 17/100. Perhaps it was released during the Olympic Games, limited to 100 pieces. Upon enlargement, it's noticeable that the inscription is not amateurish; the boundaries of the engraving are clear. Maybe someone has encountered something like this before. I attach a photo. I will be grateful for any information.
