Notes

From photos. Dial reads 'LUZ / 17 JEWELS / ANTIMAGNETIC / INCABLOC'. The caseback is engraved in concentric rings (text mentions shockproof and antimagnetic; much of it is too worn to read) with a small logo. Back not yet opened in the photos, so the movement, its maker and the caseback type are unknown. Clearer caseback photo. The back is octagonal, about 27.9 mm across the flats (owner's measurement), with no wrench slots. Engraved around the edge: 'WATERPROTECTED' (partly unclear), 'ANTI-MAGNETIC', 'SHOCKPROOF', 'STAINLESS STEEL BACK' and 'SWISS MADE', with a circled number 86 near the lower edge (maker or case mark, unconfirmed). I do not yet know how it opens (screw-on polygonal back, or press-fit), so the type is Unknown until someone tries it. The case body is gold-coloured with worn plating, spring-bar lugs and a domed crown.

Work

Work out how the octagonal back opens (try a polygon socket or a case ball); about 27.9 mm across the flatsPlanned
