The case is chromed, but in excellent condition apart from under the lugs which have suffered from stretchy metal bracelet abuse (its in the bin!)

Movement is a 25-66; circa 1965.

BTW, if anyone knows of the difference between the 190 and other Certina Bristol models (195, 230, 235, + any others I don't know) please share.

It was listed as a Cerina (no T) and went a bit cheapish.;-)

Nice looking. I've seen other Bristol models and they were handwind too. You might take a look at the Certina movements shown in the movement archive on Roland Ranfft's website.
