Wittnauer 2000 automatic from the 1970s... Bought it in March 1996 for $75 needing a crystal and it laid around until I put a crystal in it last year. Original flat top acrylic crystals are hard to find because they are about 37mm wide but I finally found one. Bought another watch just like it (not running) for parts about the same time with original bracelet but never did anything with it. Have worn this one a few times in the past (today also) and it still runs fine. The movement was made by Orient and afaik, Orient still makes them under their brand name. It can not be wound by hand and is quikset date and sloset day of the week by running the hands around. The push button top right changes the QS date and the lower crown turns the year disc to match the date and year at the top and bottom. The date at the top is set for today's date (Tues 13 in the second row down from the top) but the year ('94) is off at the bottom because the calendar runs out at the end of 2015...the earliest date is 1972. The day and date in the window have not been set for today. Pic taken 12-13-22.
