The "Memomatic", model of 1970 - This design stood for two world premieres in the field of alarm wristwatches; it was the first rotor self-wind system with only one barrel driving both the movement and the alarm. It was also the first alarm wristwatch where an alarm could be set to the minute by a central rotating alarm disc.
This timepiece has its original protective lacquer on the caseback!
