[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!

The Seiko SBCJ029 released in 2003. The 8f56 movement - true GMT, perpetual calendar, high accuracy quartz - inside a titanium case. It cost me 650ish Euros.

So not all that old compared to some of the pieces here, but it's old enough that the accuracy is worse than my Seiko Solar Tuna despite supposedly being HAQ.
