I wrote about an old Rodania watch that I still have. It is among the most reliable of my vintage watches. I recently acquired another one and this one's in even better condition with a navy blue dial and a date complication. It is said that Rodania's are popular in the Netherlands and I brought my other Rodania when I was there a few years ago. Unfortunately, I couldn't pick up another vintage watch during that trip.

I have not had the chance to open the watch to see the movement for myself. This photo came from the seller as I requested for one to see the movement. It is not a signed movement, which is more desirable. But it is a Swiss movement, which is not so uncommon for these watches. I have yet to determine the caliber of the movement to learn more about its specs.

I think this is supposed to be my watch of the month of September as I rotated it with my usual choices for the week. The power reserve is good and I estimate this to be more than 40 hours when fully wound. For October, I think I will park it for a while.
