I have a sub-second one with a similar case but your lugs are a bit wider.

Just arrived today and I'm smitten with this vintage sector dial, its stepped case and blued hands.

Ah yes, sorry I forgot to mention that. It is supposed to be a 106 but I haven't verified it myself yet.

That is what it looks like. If you or your watchmaker can open it the number and version should be stamped into the plate below the balance wheel.

Confirmed it is indeed a caliber 106. I also noticed the case is stamped 228 on the rim next to the movement. Does anyone know it's significance? It doesn't seem to correspond with the serial on the caseback or movement. I wonder if it identifies this type of case.

cal 135 is a chronometer and should be marked on the movement or dial
