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 late 1980s Tag Heuer Formula 1. It's a man's watch but watch sizes have changed so much that a lady could wear it now. I had it reconditioned by Tag & a new authentic TH F1 band put on it so I mainly keep it behind glass but that's my oldest watch.

Edit - actually not true my dad left me his 1967 Bulova Accutron tuning fork watch. It's in a drawer I forgot about it.
