    Is it legit? As an amateur , my concerns are the straight M in the word chronometre, and spelt as metre instead of meter? Also i have not seen those words inside the caseback. What do you guys think?

    Looks fine, nothing to worry about, the case back is also normal.

    Using of fonts is period depended and was adjusted over the years.

    This reference is from ca. 1956 and so font and spelling is period correct IMO...

    Spelling was changed around 1959? I believe.
