Waltham Watch

[bbodnyk]

I just picked up this ladies Waltham watch at a flea market. It just needs a crown otherwise it seems to run fine. Can anyone tell me any information about the movement?

Thanks!

It's a Swiss Waltham. The movement is a caliber ST (Standard) 69 N. Itself a relative of the FHF 60 from decades ago. An ST 69 is shown in Dr. Roland Ranfft's watch movement archive, here.

i suspect the Waltham is likely from the mid to late 1960s. This movement was a very popular one, and was made by the millions by a number of finishers over decades.
