Notes

From photos. Dial reads 'ZORBA / 17 JEWELS / Starmaster / FOREIGN'. Starmaster is the model name; 'FOREIGN' is a UK import marking, so it was sold in the UK; the era is unconfirmed. The movement plate is stamped 'CAT-C 66 / 17 JEWELS' (the first word may be CAL.; reading unsure) and no maker mark was seen. No rotor visible, so it appears to be manual-wind with a date. Caseback has slots around the rim (screw-down) and the inside of the back is heavily scratched with no readable engraving. Only hour and minute hands seen. Dial and crystal are scratched.
