Never heard of the brand before, looks nice though and I like the cool name 8-)
The magnifiers and button arrangement make me think it could possible use a Commodore module?

Yes, if you read the description, you can see that it has been printed on a microsonic case and it uses a nos Commodore module but transformed in a way that both buttons operate.

They are not a vintage brand, they are made of vintage parts - Microsonic cases, Commador modules and the logo is etched into the glass. Although not a pure vintage item, I'm thinking they make a much better daily wear watch than a vintage Commador which has a plastic screen. The Commador modules are very robust, their display being the magnified type is the only [marginal] drawback

Good job Guys! Pimp That Watch!! 8-)

In mine there is a machined plastic disc under the module to lift the bubble lenses away from the crystal.
