I don't not remember, but I believe it's UN In-house Calibre. I've had this watch for quite some time and don't wear it as often as I should.

Also if you like blue dialed watches it cool to also have a blue movement :lol:

Got this years ago but it was a problem child. An early electric Hamilton RR Special wristwatch with the early 505 electric movement not a quartz it looks like a mechanical movement powered by a battery. Just could not find a watchmaker who would work on it locally. So sent it off a few weeks ago to someone who only works on them in Texas. Was not cheap but having a watch none working for about 10 years was driving me nuts. Got her back today. Check out the second hand like lightning.

Stan, don’t you know the first law of physics? Anything that’s fun costs at least eight dollars”
-- Eric Cartman

“To absent friends, lost loves, old gods, and the season of mists; and may each and every one of us always give the devil his due.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And If I have trouble the warranty said
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On
