The watch feeds my appetite for distressed and well worn textures for sure. It is an Ollech & Wajs Selectron.
Like that collection of 'distressed' textures; casual yet strong. Very nice...

What's the watch?

Bravo! It is a marvel.

Your term marvel is a well deserved designation for this underrated yet sought-after watch. It implements quite a few ingenious developments made by Aquastar.

Forgive me, I am not familiar with that maker, but is the 500 referencing the depth rating? i.e. 500m.

Yes, in 1962 the Benthos 500 was the first watch rated to 500 m depth. Today Aquastar claims that these watches generally were tested for the pressure of 1000 m.

The case is rather chunky, though:

First black dial in my collection and a brand new toy. I just had to try it out!

1940s Universal Geneve, Compur ref 42404.

EDIT : A black dial seems proper for Friday the 13th!
