Description: 1979. By the end of the 70's almost all LCD watches were being made in the far east starting to be sold very cheap. This hong kong made attempt by Tandy (using its Micronta name) to copy a Seiko of the time features chronograph and alarm. Actually it's a very good copy and even has the port hole for changing the battery. It only really falls down on the quality of plate on the bezel and flimsy band. Not bad though when you consider it would have been a third of the cost of the Seiko to buy new.
