Restoration Thoughts / Notes:
- Armachoc shock protection was Kelton’s answer to Incabloc, offering durability in a budget-friendly form.
- The base metal bezel with stainless steel back was typical of European department store watches of the era—stylish but accessible.
- Kelton was a Timex brand produced in Besançon, France, allowing Timex to enter European markets with “Swiss-style” mechanical options despite being American-owned.
