[Discussion] What's the oldest watch you have? (alien.top)

What's the oldest watch you have? And why?

I sold a variety of Swiss and non-swiss brands for a long time when I worked as a jeweller. At the same time, I developed an interest in antique jewellery and watches.

So whether is cheap or expensive, working or not, 5 years old or 100+ years old, what's the oldest watch you own? Is it a sentimental piece or something you purchased because of its model?

Just hoping to find out about some more different watches out there!

A quartz seiko chronograph from 1986. It was my grandfathers daily driver, he gave it to me the week before he died in 2006.

I just got it running again but it needs some work to get the chrono functions working properly (mostly just the reset). Thinking about replating it too 'cause it looks extremely well-worn right now.
