What's this reference, from 1993?

Thanks.. Ian

Bracelet extremely comfortable to wear
No intention to sell, been with me for 24 years and more...

I never serviced this watch
and its still keeping to good time and time passed silently. Thanks for your remarks..
I believe that
as long as the watch is working fine that you do not have to service a watch. I do not subscribe to the 3 to 5 year recommended service rule. If depends on how the owner treats his watches and you seem to keep your watch well just like I do mine. Wishing ...
Its a Gondolo model. 215 ps must be the mechanism of this watch.
Not sure but an educated guess. Cheers , nice dress watch. Geross.
