There's this very simply designed watch I have in my collection. It was manufactured prior to Doxa being acquired by Synchron in the late 1960s. Doxa is well-known for its diver watches but they also make very good dress or casual watches. I think this is a good example of the latter types.

| The movement inside this watch is an ETA 1147 running at 18,00 beats per hour with a power reserve of 42 hours. |

This was a watch that I had put up for sale months ago as it was also not getting much wrist time. I have come to enjoy it once again and have worn it more frequently than others. I like the way this watch has aged (61 years at this time) and it is still very reliable on a full wind. I have to time it again to see if it still lasts the 42 hours in its specs.
