Rare 1960's Giroxa 17j Everlight Watch Early Lighted Dial Project Or Parts Runs

Rare 1960's Giroxa 17 jewel manual wind Everlight men's wristwatch with early push button lighted dial. This watch is related to the Tourist Everlight watch but with some difference in the dial lighting systems. The dial light feature is not working and with require repairs and parts including a bulb. There are a few loose parts including a small edge piece from the inner cover and 2 small metal tabs with some oxidation.

I believe that it is powered battery a that would fit in the depression in the back cover. The silver dial has a very crisp appearance with no damage.

There is a small hole above the date indicator where a tiny bulb would light the dial when the button is depressed. The 35mm gold plated (Plaque G10) case looks great with minor signs of prior use.

The Fontainemelon 17 jewel manual wind movement winds, sets and keeping time for approximately 8 hours.
