They share movements with Bulova and Citizen, and the mechanicals are bullet proof. They made some really nice watches, especially divers, in the 60s-70s, in Switzerland, Hong Kong, West Germany, Japan, Taiwan...You can almost always date them by the year code on the caseback too, which makes them more interesting to collect.

Here's one of my 70s divers, and a retro Mopar logo piece that I just bought off eBAy.
