I thought it was a vintage Zenith Defy!
It’s a watch and it‘s an alarm ⏰😁 Looking cool - I take it at this point asking you more about it is a tad premature? 😉
I occasionally have those, "oh yeah, I forgot I had this one" moments too, but I do remember them when I see them ! : ]
I think you're probably right - got it as it's an alarm! Also probably as it's got an As5008 movement. It's an Emporer - I've seen a few alarms with this on, so guessing probably 70s brand for department stores. Is working ok & the alarm is decently loud. Cheers JML
The only other explanation might be drunk eBay purchase! Cheers JML
I think it would look terrific on a strap. Just my two cents.
