That's very interesting, how old is that watch? The reason I ask is that it looks quite old and although I'm aware of Seagull having made movements for several decades, I thought they only started being used in Europe not more than 5 years ago.

From 1975 to aprox. 2000 there was a romanian watch brand called Orex (ora exacta=>in english: the exact time). The first generation was designed with the movement above (seagull ST5) and was manufactured from 1975 to 1985. As far as I can see, nowadays there are only low quality versions of this movement sold (they are not quite that finished), that's why I consider myself fortunate to own a piece of my country's history..
