Marking On Case Back!
Case: Triple Signed 47mm (excluding winding crown)

Ref #7651. The case back is marked "DDE. BR. + 11525/67"
which refers to a 1967 patent for the design of the case and
bezel with the circular slide rule controlled by a cogged
mechanism. It is this that enables the watch to have some
measure of water resistance even though the rotating slide rule
scale is beneath the crystal, an area normally inaccessible from
the outside of a waterproof watch (except for access via the
crown and pushers). Interestingly, a similar system with a
geared rotating bezel mechanism driving the slide rule was used
decades later in the Breitling B-1, B-2 and Bentley models.
