For daily wear; Omega, Speedmaster, Professional Mark IV, Cal.1045  
automatic movement, Ref. 176.0012.
Third bezel, second cleaning in 26 years.
When my wife and I got out, and it's a suit event, then I use a  
Girard-Perregeaux Gyromatic.

Though I do have a pocket watch with a gun-metal case with a moon  
phase movement.
So far, after a number of trips to a number of NAWCC meetings, I've  
been able to estimate it to around 1830-1850.
A query, with photos, to Vacheron Constantin, also had them  
scratching their heads.
It's definitely their bridge work, but they have no factory records.

This ought to be of interest to a few;
