Help with details on this watch.

[spitfire]

Hi Guys,

Hope for some help here.

I have inherited this watch from my father, which in term was passed to him from my grandfather... it was a daily beater for many years so therefore all the scratches.

It is as you can tell a Junghans astra from the very bad picture i am able to provide.

How old do you think it is? i am thinking 60`ties??

cheers

The first european quartz was the Beta21 movment starting sales 1970, so this might be end of the 70s...

Hey, what's that?!... Nice watch.

It's Astra cal. 667 . Hard to tell without seeing the movement, but it maybe as early as circa 1975 (six point star logo is also a hint). On the movement there is an indicator of what movement it is: 667.10 / 667.20 etc., - the lower - the earlier

I bet it still works, isn't it? Very durable watch.
