Dear Abel, what a beauty! :)
The hands, the case... Love it!
May I ask which size is the case?
As for the movement, yes the Valjoux Cal 71 looks very similar as your movement.
But, due to the pusher shape and some of the positions of screws and holes....
I would rather guess that your watch has a movement based on the Valjoux Cal 84.
Valjoux 71 have minutes and hours, while your watch only have minutes.
Do your watch only have split second?
Hope this may point you in the right direction.
Best, my friend
Blomman

Thank you Nicolas! Yes, these are old cool watches...
... this is part of an small collection of chronos I assembled some time ago when I started with this hobby of watch collecting. These are not very expensive watches but giving a lot of enjoyment specially for their beautiful dials. I´m sure they deserve ...
