I have this watch that is clearly signed with the Hanowa logo in a couple of places...



I sent them an e-mail to see if I could find more info but they disavow any knowledge of the watch or ever having made a model like it!!!

This is definitely not a Chinese made fake so that only leaves a couple of possibilities; one is that the Swiss faked it or the new Hanowa company has no knowledge of it's former self

Does anyone here know anything about it?

------------------------------------------

I suspect its a contract watch that the maker does`nt even remember. Its got swiss all over it.

Maybe its a "Tag" in disguise, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

is a realistic possibility. The people who answered your questions are likely low-level customer service "grunts" who have no real knowledge of and access to vintage model information [catalogs, technical manuals, etc.]. How much "research" were they able/willing to do to answer your questions - especially considering the answer was not likely to bring them any new revenue??!

Personally, I think you're more likely to get the "true" answer by questioning a collector forum [if you can find one with specialists in this brand] than by emailing a general "customer service" address in a watch company.

Unfortunately, I personally have no answer for your question...

Maybe the Military Watch Forum has some folks w/ knowledge in this area?? Good luck!!
