Bristol Watch???

[friend406]

I bought it in Germany a few years ago and the guy told me that is was for the Bristol 407.
Does anyone have more information about his watch?
When has it been made and how many?
Kind Regards
Erik

it certainly looks like a promotional watch, with the badge displayed - see my post about Certina "Bristol" watches too.

I think this is quite unlikely because that emblem, or something similar to it, didn't appear on the cars until the 412. Also, the version used by Bristol had more colour in it (yellow and blue from memory).

It's obviously meant to promote Bristol, but that doesn't necessarily mean Bristol Cars - maybe rather the city of Bristol?

I don't know for sure though!

Certina were a high quality watch manufacturer and supplied the
British Military in the Fifties. It would be good to own without
Bristol written on it. Most of the smaller Swiss companies failed
when hideous digital watches appeared and in the main, the names
were re-used on less impressive ones that appeared when it was clear
that people still wanted good old fashioned mechanical.
