This Accutron 218 celebrates its 50th year, next year. I sold it brand new, to the original owner, in 1969. A few years back, when he was in failing health, he decided to re-home it by giving it to me. This has been one amazing watch. I am the only one who has worked on it over all of those decades, and aside from the crystal, cell, and gasket, it is all original. I have serviced it twice (IIRC), and it still performs well.
Change to the white dial version of the 417 ES from mid 1950s. This is a real rare timepiece. Can be seen in the book Military Timepieces by Dr. Konrad Knirim, I added a photo with my watch on the respective page.

Yesterday until this afternoon:
Switching to something simpler . . .
. . . for the balance of today and tomorrow.
