Frenca Type Calatrava WWII - Buser Frères N.O.S

Buser Frères, manufacturer of Frenca brand watches, was a watchmaker in Canton Basel-Landschaft, Switzerland, founded in 1891.
In 1961, Buser joined Revue Thommen, Phenix and Vulcain in the holding company known as MSR. After decades of independence, Buser was dissolved and merged with MSR on May 31, 1995.

The age of the watch still causes tiny micro-defects due to its transport and storage for nearly 100 years, notably the original strap showing some signs of wear due to its storage.
