Well that's different!

Complete fabrication. 1450 is the reference for a Long Playing chrono - 2 or 3 subs and the 2 sub layout looks like this. The serial number (the real one on the outside as opposed to the 'extra' one on the inside) dates to 1975 which would be consistent with that - though tough to understand the second number if the caseback is real.

The movement is a manual wind Valjoux 773X, and the dial is odd. I'm no expert on their watches but Datzward made a chrono-datic if I remember correctly, so it may be a vandalised version of one of their dials.

Swiss watch company producing predominantly diving watches. They aren't around anymore, victims of the Quartz revolution if I remember correctly and I'm not sure if they got swallowed up by someone else or just faded away.
