They make smaller watches but this movement is for pocket watches so this is as small as it can get with this movement. I like that the movement fits it properly- I hate big watches with a small movement in the middle (personally)

"Unitas Watch Company" was a watch brand until the late 1920s famous for making robust military watches. Later, for its movements 6497 and 6498. Therefore, during the decades long restructuring of the Swiss Watch Industry, Unitas movements were kept by the then ASUAG/SSIH which became part of ETA (Swatch Group) assortment. There is an interesting article published in the 2017 January edition of the "REVOLUTION" magazine. www.revolution.watch/unitas-strength-in-unity/?archive

Real nice, I might have considered but have two Stowa fliegers both in similar colors, one 38 and one 40 in automatic. Next one will be a winder and the Laco naval would be a consideration. Both are German made. Too bad Stowa doesn't have AD's couldn't see a better reseller than you to handle their product. My older no date no logo Stowa is coming close to 10 years old.
