Thanks for the photos, Jim. It looks like a very handsome watch with that great 60s flair. I can picture the ad exec characters from the TV show Mad Men wearing such a timepiece. 
Hopefully, some of the other members will have some information on the watch for you.
Cheers,

Regardless of which movement...
...that one needs a service. The regulator is off the scale.... Too handsome a watch not to have some TLC spent on it.

Thanks for the response
I started to do a little digging on this movement and I noticed that all the Peseux 320's are 17 jewel, I wonder if this movement was up-graded to 21 jewels or is this a frankenmovement? I have noticed that this particular movement was used by quite a few...
I have a Licurgo watch with a Peseux movement upgraded to 18 jewels.
It's another one of those very nicely made obscure brands. It does not, however, show a discrepancy between stated and actual jewel count.
