My Titoni Cosmo King, Titoni has been making this reference since the late 50's to early 60's and still is today. This one the first version of this dial style in the late 50's to early 60's.
60 years young.

My 70 year old Laco sends salutations. This one has a German made movement by Durowe. Notice the dial and movement are marked Foreign. In many European countries and the Americas after WW2 there were bitter feelings toward Germany and German products. Laco and was a major supplier to German military during WW2. Durowe was bought by Timex in the late 1950s.

A pair of Accutron 214 Railroad models today. Preparing for a railroad standard Watch & clock exhibit at our local historic park. Approximately 100 railroad standard pocket & wrist watches, and railroad standard clocks. All exhibit items operational. Batteries for the electric and quartz watches. The one on the left is from 1966, and the other from 1967. Twins!

BWC (Buttes Watch Company) is one of my favourite B.O.M.B.s (buyer of minor brands). They often have these lovely Singer dials w/contrasting tachy rings, and the raised chrome subdial borders are a nice touch as well.
