Hello I came across this piece in a tiny small shop local. what do you think? Ive never seen this one before
A lot of watches like above that are rarely seen until someone posts one. Looks like one of the hundreds of gold dress watches produced in the early 80s Looks OK just too modern for anyone but a hard core UG collector to know much about.
Based on the logo and the fact that it says 'microtor' on the dial, it is much more likely to be a late 1950's Cal 215. I think I can just about make out a '1861xxx' serial number from your first photo, which would back that up. I've seen those hour markers before somewhere, I just can't remember where. Looks great to me.
The wristband matches so much the watch but has no "U" logo is there other way to find out if its original wristband?
It is a generic bracelet, cut to size at the point of sale to fit the buyer of the watch typically. Could also have been added later.
Like @Mazoue, i think it's a 50's watch (apart from the serial he mentions, the ref nomenclature looks consistent with that period) with cal. 215 inside. The crown doesn't look original to the watch but some sort of customization perhaps made by the retailer (these things happened at the time). The bracelet doesn't look UG original. A nice watch
Serial number looks like 1861892 (to my eyes) which dates it to the late 1950s. This would also match the funky markers. A very attractive watch to my eyes.
