I'm fairly certain this is based on the 6B/159 issued with a chrome case at 32mm diameter so the new case is somewhat bigger, which is what one would expect considering trends.
This watch surely is one of the highlights of the fair, as a vintage-inspired military timepiece which does so much right: period-correct dial (with a twist, more later), little inscriptions, 38.5mm case with this caseback, upgraded movement and superb pr...
