My bad,

When the lighting changed, the hands would just melt away into the dial color.
The when it got dark, it came to life.
That handwind was a good watch. I hope it served the new owner well. Funny how you can keep some things and not others.

May I ask the case size ?

I looked in Rossler, but they did not list the case size. Based on my experience, it will be between 37 and 40mm. Without the auto-winding bridge, it is a very thin watch.

Should be 40mm. I owned the auto version (and posted it in the Zenith I wish I had kept thread ).

I've never seen a hand-wind chrono; ever.
