Got lucky and found this ref 2509 25 and it came in today. Estate purchase and it needs a crystal, coa, and the bezel polished a bit but running and keeping time. Can't get the back off but expect it has the Felsa 4000 automatic movement inside and probably dates to around 1953. Measure about 35mm, Temporarily on bracelet until appropriate strap found. I really like these hidden crown versions.

My watch guy forgot to polish the bezel but otherwise a nice job. Really clean Felsa 690 movement w/BOW on the bridge. Dates to 1955.
