Date: No date mark. Technology and style indicate roughly the late 1970s–1980s (LCD quartz, generic Hong Kong production); cannot be strictly confirmed within 1959–1990 and a slightly later date isn't excluded, though it certainly post-dates the mid-1970s.
Place of Origin: Hong Kong (then British Hong Kong), per the caseback.Inscription/Signature/Marks
