Nice watch - GMT version of model 2115.

You don't see too many of the GMT around, but this looks fine to me. I have seen versions with markings on only half of the bezel (the top half when aligned) as well as different colour bezel backgrounds but don't see anything wrong with this. The only thing I'm not sure about is the black subdial hand - it's clearly right for a chrono-matic, but most of the GMTs that I have seen had two red sub hands.

Can't comment on year without a serial number, but that might be on the inside of the caseback on this model.

The original bracelets are not easy to come by, I know of no NOS ones so best to keep an eye out on the usual auction sites.

Thanks for the comments...serial is 1346194
everything clearly visible on the back....can you read the year from that?
Yes , the small black hand is a thing i have noticed as well....but as you said its right for a chronomatic , and i think it looks right on the watch.
The blue part on the bezel has been faded...has it been done with darkbrown/lightbrown bezel or is it just the blue thats been faded on those?
Happy New Year to you all.
Greetings from Sweden...Arne Json

There definitely are brown bezel versions.

The serial dates it to 1970.
