Memovox Speedbeat in Gold
Dear All, I just wanted to share some pictures of a watch that I don't wear too often. It's an heirloom from my father. The back of the watch is quite worn, but you can still barely make out the word 'Speedbeat'. Any info on year of production, etc. would...

It is actually not an "o" but a sigma...

Thank you, Claus!
Never seen that before. Another question – it almost looks like it something written on the outer bezel in this last photo. Or is it reflections from the dial? Down right corner… Sorry I am nosy; I just try to learn as much as I can about vintage memovoxe...
