From lookingon the internet, I believe this is a 1950s / 1960s era watch. It is in amazing condition, still in the original box, and keeping accurate time for more than 24 hours. At first I thought the back was scratched, but closer inspection revealed that it still has the original protective film on the back and this is peeling slightly. I assume the machine tooled back is in mint condition underneath. Watch is gold coloured, possibly gold plated, I don't know. Face has a brushed satin finish and is marked: ORIS Anti Shock and Swiss Made. Case is slim-line - only 8mm thick including the domed glass - and 5 cm in diameter. Height is 5.8cm including the fob ring. The glass is perfect, as far as I can see. No scratches, cracks or chips. The hands are bevelled gold with a 'sweep' second hand moving at fifth of a second intervals. The hands adjust by pulling and turning the winding button. The watch runs fine. I let it run for 24 hours and it kept good time. The box is in relatively good condition - I think it originally had a paper hinge, but this has failed and it's now in two pieces. Please note that I am not a watch expert or dealer - the watch came to me from my mother in law who has had it in a box for many, many years.
