The literature knows: - Leonhard Beitl notes: "This Cyma model is certainly something special and would be the dream of any collector. While the normal Cyma alarm wristwatch is a rarity in itself, this gold model with its distinctive, open-work lugs and chronometer function is even more a treasure to covet." ("Alarm am Arm", by Leonhard Beitl, Vienna 2009, p. 134ff.) - Michael Philip Horlbeck notes: "The cal464 is among the sweetest-sounding alarms ever produced. Moreover, what makes this particular Time-O-Vox rare is its original 14kt gold case [notabene, we offer the even rare 18kt-variant] with stylish elongated U-shaped lugs, very few of these are out there!"
