Just bought a NOS 1970s Nepro Field Effect LCD.

....from a dealer in England.

If this is a seller's photo it must be kespenz because of the greenish tint
Nice watch though - I like the straight digits and the 24h display.

The seller's Ebay name is "myretrowatches". He had 3 different ones of the same model type... this one seemed to not have any of the "color changes" that were in the other 2 in the LCD display. (Field Effect LCDs over many decades can sometimes get sort of a oil-slick looking color change to the background area of the display....learned from experience on that one ;)

I believe the seller 'myretrowatches' is kespenz, or his brother. Baldylocks is another name they use...

Yep, that is the one.

I think the watch is from 1976.....there is a new company that was part of Nepro that is mentioned in this web site at....

.....and it states, "Despite an alarmingly bad economical situation in Switzerland at that time, Nepro SA established 'MSA-Modules Electronic SA' in 1976, a company that would be occupied with the manufacturing and assembling of LCD modules."

That mentioned company name is on the IC chip that is in the watch module. He had a picture of the insides in Ebay.
