    Today? This one.
    This was sold in the store on 5th Ave in November of 1964. Its claim to fame was, at that time, it was the thinnest watch movement in the world at 3.2mm, maybe 3.3mm I can’t remember.

    Not sure I remember Art, I think so. I have it written down. But I’m lucky I remembered what I typed above!

    As a follow up….
    It’s pretty tough to get decent pictures that illustrate just how thin it really is, but these might try.

    Now to find the perfect sapphire crystal for it!

    That's one of my frustrations with some of my old ones (not as thin as yours) the acrylic crystals are 1/2 to 2/3 the total thickness of the watch!

    BTW, now that you've gone this far, can we tempt you into popping it open so we can see 'under the hood'?

    Thanks for taking the time to create that image!

    Regards,

    Art S.

    Pop the hood? :) Yeah, you’re a braver man than I am.
    I did find these interesting tidbits last night as I was nosing around:

    I'm still leaning towards V&C. In the '60s, ultrathin was a V&C thing. Stylistically, a Patek Calatrava is similar looking at the face but I don't recall the '60s versions being thin.

    I'm thinking it's closer to this:

    Olive green

    Oyster, 40 mm, Everose gold. My favourite at the moment. I really like how the dial looks in a different lightning.
