Vintage 1969-70 Space Travel Mystery Watch. The dial has orbiting gems with baguettes for the hours. Engraved in the back is the Lunar Module circling the moon with the earth in the background.

Very nice piece indeed Rick - very impressive that this could be built that long ago without severely impacting accuracy and power reserve - moving that much weight around the dial was quite the feat of engineering.
