This is a rare one from Japan. The motorsports company PIAA used to sponsor the Tyrrell racing team in the 90s when this watch was produced. It appears to be a Mondaine case, and was likely produced under license in Switzerland for PIAA possibly through an Italian third party. The movement is an ETA 2846, running fine. It's a simple and attractive dial, with the only flair being the polished rehaut sending an interesting reflection at most angles. The rough case texture in parts is OEM as part of Mondaine's eco friendly lineup recycled materials were used and the crown has a recycle symbol on it.
The strap is well worn but has a little life left, otherwise looks to be in pretty good shape for it's age. Great watch for those gentlemen of culture who prefer a classy look!
I'm asking 150 Shipped which is close to half the parts cost on ebay right now! If I put it on there it'll get stripped for sure, so hopefully one of you will pick it up before it comes to that.
