Incoming Bell-Matic
Couldn’t resist an eBay punt. What a great watch. 50+ years old and feels modern. The alarm is great.

That’s very cool
I’ve not heard of them before. Do they still make a modern version? |

As I recall, Brian, they were discontinued in the late 1970s or early 80s, a victim of the quartz revolution.

Thank you kindly. I have to say, I’m astounded at the weight and feel of this 50 plus year old watch.

The alarm is the coolest. Someday I'd like to have one. I also love the dial on this one as well

My only advice is to get one now! They are so cheap! Our weekly shopping bill is larger (we are quite a big family!!)
