Certina DS ref. 5601 012 from 1961 with a fantastic dial variant on a GF bracelet from one of the other DS'. A combination made in heaven.
I still cannot believe how accurate this watch is. It’s got an ‘adjusted to five positions’ Lemania movement in it. Only a second or two gain a day. It’s currently one of my favorite watches.
To some, it’s a frankenwatch. To me, it’s a stunt double for my Speedymoon, which cost me around five times as much as this did. I even found a 1450 bracelet for it.
Only three things, from the outside, give it away that this is not a real Speedymoon. Bezel is modern, not DNN; dial is service replacement for Speedymoon, with luminova and lower numerals on the date subdial facing outward; and, hands are also luminova, with the chrono second hand having the older tail.
