    I wonder if those in the know could tell me what they see in my pictures?
    I'll open it tomorrow and take some pictures of the movement.

    Could it be one of these, if so I would be delighted?

    I think That one is later ...late 1970's or early 80's.

    Kind regards

    Ralph

    P.S. it's a Ref. 3071 (found in the catalog 1979) the movement is a Quartz c.2405 (2nd or later generation Quartz movement not a Beta21)

    May be you are looking for that one:

    Ralph hit it.

    But a cal. Beta 21 for those who are interested to see it.

    For sure not many, but ..... :-)

    The script on the dial is always an indication to the cal.

    QUARTZ ELECTRONIC => Beta 21

    QUARTZ => cal. 2405, 2250, and so on.

    Thanks Ralph and Heiko for popping my bubble ;-(
    It is as you both rightly say a Ref 3071 with a Cal 2405
