Cheers guys. Definitely something different.

I have noticed its running a bit slow though (lost about one minute a day). Wondering how to go about servicing a vintage watch...

Well, as you live on "Earth", you should be able to find a decent independent watchmaker who can service it.

Sounds like it needs one

If you give a clue as to your whereabouts, someone may be able to help with a suitable suggestion.

Favre Leuba Sea Sky GMT. It is a 200m waterproof diving chronograph, from about 1971. Favre Leuba is an old Swiss watch manufacture that started in the early 1700's. These diving watches are not very common, this one has a 3 digit serial number.
