Can I keep with the Grateful Dead theme and call mine Bertha?
Something modern(ish) pieces. First up, my Master Compressor Memovox on stringray ]
That’s an early one based on the dial text!

Supposed to be circa 2004.
It also features cal. 918 (no quick-set on the date), as opposed to the newer versions, equipped with the updated cal. 956.
Not sure if the upgraded movement corresponds to the shorter text on the dial.
That would be right - the Master Compressor line came out in 2002 (remember it well and it was a polarizing design at the time), and the first versions of this watch had "Memovox Automatique" on the dial, where the later versions just have "Memovox" on the dial. I can't say the exact transition date, but I bought mine back in 2007 and it just has Memovox on the dial...
Lume shot...
