It's 94% Swiss, 5% Norwegian and 1% Venezuelan :wink:

I believe these are called Swiss Unitas by our dealers, but I don't know if that means they are actually Swiss made, in Switzerland, by a Swiss watch maker, movements, or a copy of the Unitas movement by Chinese watch makers, from China. Anyone know more about this?

I believe these have been confirmed to be Swiss by Ziggy, vaccum and others. Not to be confused with the Swinese hybrids with the swan necks....
