Karl, regretfully your link doesn't show us anything...

Thanks for the pic Karl. That watch is very different. Mine is much smaller and has a black watch face. I'll be taking the watch into the jewelers on Tuesday, once they open it up maybe they can tell me something..

Thank you for posting an image in lieu of the previous link.

Wow! That is a nice watch indeed!

I checked the PDF of the 1962 Voit catalog, and I don't recognize the original manufacturer of the watch. However, I would like to hear what your watch maker has to say about it, especially what movement is in it. I suspect it may be an A. Schild movement. The Tropic brand strap was a very common and popular dive strap used through the 60's and 70's. Hope this little bit helps, it is a really cool watch.

Thanks for the info, I will definitely post here what the watch repairman has to say about the movement. I did find out about the Swiss Tropic straps by comparing the catalog picture to ones I found on the Net. Those bands are not cheap! I'm thinking the total restoration on this watch is gonna be steep.
It'll be well worth it though; I'm extremely happy to have it..

I bet that Allan will try to buy it off of you!

Now why would a USD guy want a Voit watch?
