Another rare Pontiac. I can only guess here as i dont have this one, but yeah the first guess would be Mido or a really close rip-off. I remember my Pontiac Casquette had a frontier module, how about this one?

I visited the site of our newest member, "sometimeago" and found this very interesting article on the Pontiac brand. The watch at issue was probably a rebranded Mido, to sell under the Pontiac line. Seems they bought movements from all the better Swiss manufacturers.
